This game wont flop. But that certainly doesn't mean it'll break out either. It has 175,928 pre-orders on the 360 in America (add onto that whatever it has in the rest of the world and whatever the ps3 numbers are). This would seem to me to be positioning it to be a moderate success. It'll probably get a decent bump during christmas aswell.
The developers pedigree and the strong support it should get in PC gaming circles (its number 1 on steam atm for example) should also give it an added boost. Plus its an FPS and its post-apocalyptic setting is quite popular.
I can only see it breaking out if all of this is matched by significant critical acclaim however.
