erm.... no

I see Alan wake as a slow burner. And I doubt it will get anywhere near the advertising that heavy rain got. Heavy rain was VERY heavily advertised on TV here in the UK for afew weeks.

Sorry, would this be the same Alan Wake that Microsoft have promised to advertise and market like a summer blockbuster?

Anyway, Heavy Rain opened to half a million. I believe Alan Wake can do 500k+ and so I think it'll win by a little margin.

pardon me for breathing... I hadn't seen that. jesus.

anyway I hope they do advertise it that well, looks like it deserves it.

Overreacting a little maybe? Or is it that time of the month?

@OP I think that Alan Wake will be a bit frontloaded, I'm not sure if horror game is that kind of genre which appeals to wider audience. But I think that it will outsell Heavy Rain in the end. Heavy Rain is a niche experience ("no-game") while Alan Wake is your classical third person shooter, which is the second most popular genre this gen.

is there really any need for snide remarks?  actually.. dont answer that.  rhetorical.

I find it incredibly ironic coming from him

me? or him? lol

Him!
