I was discussing the declining popularity of hitman, and a way to help that is to have it available on as many platforms as possible.

 

Pre-orders for Games 9 Weeks away from release

Game	Pre-orders	Sales
Hitman: Absolution	190k
Deus Ex: Human Revolution	130k	2.2 million
RAGE	N/A ~140k	2.6 million
Saints Row: The Third	N/A ~150k	4.0 million
Dead Island	N/A ~110k	3.2 million

N/A = Didn't make the Top 20, so I made an estimate

As you can see, Hitman seems too be tracking above many successful games from last year. Keep in mind the games listed here have been on sale for only a year. They're going to sell more.

With that in mind, I think it's safe to predict that Hitman will do about 3 million. 2 mill at least.

 

As much as I want to agree with that table, those other games trend dont't really matter to me because I am sure we can make a list with games that had decent pre-orders but did not end up selling really well ,its just a matter of perspective and which info is chosen.

But with all that being said I really hope you are right and would be very happy to see the game become a top seller.
