| DMeisterJ said: I know that many people were surprised at the numbers Devil May Cry 4 put up (most likely) in it's first week. So now, a retrospective: DMC 1 Launched in Japan with first week sales of 396K DMC 2 Launched in Japan with first week sales of 340K DMC 3 Launched in Japan with first week sales of 192K And for all intents and purposes, DMC4 looks like it will launch with 200K first week sales. So I ask the question: Will this be the trend for all PS2 franchises coming to the PS3? Many have stated and predicted that DMC4 would not have these kinds of sales first week, because the install base is low (Under 2 million), compared to what the PS2's install base was. If you look at the predictions, users have it at 120K first week sales (Link) and it's easily outshone that. So will this appen for all PS2 --> PS3 franchises or is this the only one? |
I think the hardware figure is more telling 36K is definetly a sign of things to come
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
