| binary solo said: Multiplat FPS games other than CoD have done reasonably well this gen, though nothing has come close to CoD, or the 360 exclusive Halos (even the "expansion pack" ODST has sold more than the combined sales of any non-CoD multiplat). But none of the non-CoD titles has really set the world on fire. Bad Company 2 is the only title to crack 5 million. So where does that put Rage? It's a title with a significant pedigree behind it, but that pedigree includes game that predate the birth of a helluva lot of FPS gamers. There's little doubt it will be an amazing looking game, and I defy anyone to seriously suggest it won't get really high review scores. So the stars are alligning for it to be a serious contender to be the best selling non-CoD multiplat FPS. Can it be the first non-CoD multiplat FPS to break 10 million? |
Brief answer - no.
It's a new IP, with some fresh FPS ideas but nothing revolutionary from what I've seen so far. Will be lucky to break 5 million across platforms. Even Doom 3, failed to reach 10 million.
