Do you see why it is going to get bundled, or what indications you have it will break 2 million in sales? It is under 400K on the PS3 at this point. Care to show where 1.6 additional million in sales is going to come from, for a platform that will likely be lead platform maybe a year or two more, with a number of additional releases? Explain how breaking 2 million in sales will work now. |
What?
It's been one month. Who expected two million sales in 1 month? Chill.

Way more front loaded. Week 5 for PSAS is still at ~ 70K while inFamous dropped quickly to ~50K and then 30K~ zone. People said inFamous 1 would likely cap at 1-1.5M. That game made it to 2.5M.
PSAS, as many have said before, will rely on legs and word of mouth. Much like Demon's Souls and Valkyria Chronicles. Not to mention, those games didn't have digital sales to factor in.
