What the hell? How did the conversation regarding Agent popped up? By the way where is the 5M number being pulled from? It's a new IP, with barely information regarding it's development. New IPs rarely tend to sell 5M off the bat, especially exclusive ones, only in the rare instances when the game appeals to a large audience. You can't expect the name of Rockstar alone to carry this title across the 5M mark.

Assasins did,gears did

"Rarely tend to sell 5M off the bat" and "only in the rare instances when the game appeals to a large audience".

Now tell me, you predict that it will sell 5M, what is your prediction based on other than pure speculation? This is the official site btw,

http://www.rockstargames.com/agent/

Even the site is not finished yet, so where you pulled that number from considering there is barely any information out about this yet is beyond me.

P.S Plenty of IPs, even the ones well received by critics have failed to cross the 5M mark, more so than the ones that did manage to do it. E.g, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect, Uncharted I to name a few.

The 5 million number I set. We were debating about Gears potentials and the idea of Agent outselling Gears came in. We agree it's an unlike scenario and I was just pointing out that even 5 million will be difficult for Agent.

Gears, and Assassin's Creed did it, but Gears of War was the flagship 360 title before Halo 3, and before CoD got big, and Assassin's Creed was a rare case, and still launched early into 360's life. It will be much harder for Agent to pull those numbers.
