Whats your estimate? Is 500,000 possible?
Personally I don't see that happening more along the lines of 225k but just curious if 500k is even possible.
|
It'll definitely hit 500k. 225K is very low considering how fast its rising already.
|
why not? gears is a huge franchise especially in the us, if it cant reach 1 million pre orders their, how is kinect a casual device going to reach 1 million pre orders.
|
Completely different game, appealed to a different audience, it came out years ago, it just different.
Gears 3 is likely to get a million pre-orders. Even bearing in mind the Gears 2 didn't.
|
i know that gears 3 is likely going to hit a million pre orders. but the think is the 360 doesnt have a casual audience! especially in the us
|
Kung Fu Panda at 16 on the all time 360 charts w 3 Mil sold (2.11 in the US)
Sonic Superstars Tennis 20th on the chart with 2.91 Mil sold (1.95 in the US)
Lego Indian Jones (Not sure if this is casual) 14th w 3.55 mil sold (2.41 in the US)
there is a market for at least 3 million casual 360 gamers (around 2 mil in the US)
|
all of those are from bundles, i bet they didnt even reach 500k retail sales.
|
Sonic Superstars tennis was bundled? I missed that one... However there are a lot of million selling casual games on 360 like Guitar Hero, Rock Band, Need for Speed, Dead Rising, Lego Star Wars, Viva Pinata, Midnight Club, PRG, The Simspons game, etc.
It also depends on what you define as casual, as I bet many CoD, Halo, and assassin's Creed sales are to casual gamers (I mean look at the huge sales jump Modern Warfare did to the franchise, and Call of Duty 2 was a better game then World at War.
