80k pre orders for a series that has been non existent for 7 years shows signs of interest among consumers for this brand. I just think that Sanzaru games have to first prove themselves for people to actually become interested in this game and for future installements of the game. It's the first time another developer has made a Sly game so some people may be on the edge. |
But it is not like Sly was ever a very large franchise, none have ever sold more 2m and the collection only managed 500k (which is admittedly better than Jak.
It all depends on how much it really cost, but you would suspect lower than $20m (the suggested figure for Uncharted 1 and 2), which means it has to sell around 1m copies to break even, without any advertising. I would guess it would be an experiment to see if selling it for 1/3 sell will make up for the lower revenue per unit, but we will never know Sony's thinking.
