Just checked over this again and Max Payne 3 looks kind of low! Hopefully it'll do better than what the pre-orders here are suggesting


I agree with you there, they're not abysmally low but certainly not what I was expecting the game to do. In my opinion this game should do at least 600K on the 360 WW in week 1 and 600K on the PS3 WW in week 1. (I don't see this game being noticably bigger on either platform than the other).

Hopefully it's just a little case of slight undertracking because it's not been a 4-5 million seller franchise before.

Do we know how much the previous games sold? VGChartz says 3.2m for the PS2 version alone! So 4-5m+ for PS2+PC is very likely. Oh and then there's an Xbox version I didn't know of that sold 1.1m. No Max Payne 2 tracking, which is weird

 

1 Max Payne PS2 2001 Shooter Take-Two Interactive 1.99 1.05 0.05 0.22 3.31
2 Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne PS2 2003 Shooter Take-Two Interactive 0.65 0.51 0.00 0.17 1.34
3 Max Payne XB 2001 Shooter Take-Two Interactive 0.98 0.19 0.00 0.05 1.22
4 Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne XB 2003 Shooter Take-Two Interactive 0.47 0.15 0.00 0.02 0.64
5 Max Payne GBA 2003 Shooter Take-Two Interactive 0.02 0.01 0.00 0.00 0.03

Looks like Max Payne did better than Max Payne 2 (Not sure if accurate, but I don't know for certain) and PS2 certainly dominated the Xbox version in sales, but I'm not convinced this is going to happen in this gen. (Honestly, don't hate me people).

So yeah, slightly bigger than I expected but not over the top yet, and VGC doesn't have any PC numbers unfortunately. :(
