Worst year for Sony's FP so far.

Next year looks absolutely stellar though. TLOU, GOW:A, Sly 4 and Beyond: Two Souls. Sales-wise I could see up to 15 million between these 4.

That would mean an average of over 4m per game?  No way man lol  TLOU will be unpredictable as it's a new IP. Sly 4 1m-2m prediction.  Two Souls 1m-1.5m  GoWA 2-4m

All respectable but not 15m.

Key term = "up to", meaning this is the best case scenario... I'll expand:

TLOU: 3-5 million (TLOU has a lot going for it with Naughty Dog developing it, massive hype, Uncharted's success/popularity, easy marketing (graphics + zombies)) With good marketing and scores it'll do Uncharted: Drake's Fortune numbers.

GOWA: 3-5 million (A lot of the same factors of above apply + established, growing franchise, tracking 3x better than GOW3 on US pre-orders)

Sly 4: 1-2.5 million (Doing surprisingly well on pre-orders)

Beyond: Two Souls: 1-2.5 million (Big name actors, Quantic Dream hype) I expect this to do as well as Heavy Rain (just over 2 million)
