Whoa, people actually think Kinect Adventures will outsell Wii Sports Resort and/or Wii Fit Plus? What kind of bizarro thread is this?
|
Wow another unconstructive post, why don't you tell us why it won't? Explain how Kinect is going to come off the back of a 5 million selling holiday and basically flop? In case you didn't know, Kinect Adventures is bundled.
|
Halo 3 and Halo Reach both sold 5 million in a holiday and both failed to do 20 soooooooo..............
|
"soooooooo.......?" so what?
lol... yay!!! genius logic right here.. is that all you have?
Kinect is a gateway to what will ultimately be dozens of games and a unique game playing experience... not just one fps game. What a ridiculous comparison.

Like Rubang just said, not a single publisher besides nintendo has pulled off 20 million on a single platform, just because you want to see it happen doesn't mean it will. My point stands, he asked how will kinect sell that much and not pull off 20 million and i pointed out to him the many other games that have sold extremely well out the gate and fizzled off like most 360 games. You want two more MW2(360) and soon Black ops(360), so the biggest openings in history clearly don't garuantee long term success.

You just completely ignored his answer, Kinect isn't a game, it won't follow the same sales pattern, and it won't be trated like one.
There isn't some magically barrier on 20 million units only Nintendo can pass, such a horrible elitiest view.
|
Yes there is. It is magic, invisible, and it stopped San Andreas at 18.53. Nobody can even hit 19 million. Nintendo has a 1 million safety buffer before their magic barrier. Other developers have had the entire history of video games to try to sneak through this barrier. They have failed.
What do you think makes more sense?
1) The barrier is too powerful for other developers.
2) There is no barrier, but other developers just can't make 20 million sales because they're incapable of making games with that global appeal and those long term sales. So they focus on huge first weeks.
If you don't believe in the magic barrier, you're basically trolling every company that isn't Nintendo.
