Anything over 500k is good for a new franchise, but since this is the SSB of PS, i expect no less than 2mil lifetime, but it'll be good if this game gets a mil i guess. TBH, if it gets a mil now it wont be that much of an accomplishment! Why? Well PS3 has over a 70mil userbase and this game got heavy discounts, more than every game this holiday! Me personally think it well have 1.2mil life w/o bundle imo |
oh because i was about to say that this game is definately going to reach a mill. It will cross the million mark a few weeks before LBPK does
these games are slow burners and you can tell just by the way that it is selling now
Battle Royale MIGHT be able to reach like 2 mill but we just have to watch the legs as they happen. I'm waiting to see if Sony is going to bundle this and if so, i want to see how far this gets before they bundle it
I originally predicted this to sell 3-5 mill as long as it had ATLEAST decent advertising and Crash Bandicoot and Spyro because these are the PlayStation mascots and will FOREVER be apart of PlayStation Family.
and of course the main PlayStation franchises are not here to represent their place in the PlayStation Universe and the advertisements were pretty much absent besides that wack commercial in Europe
I've said this before but i will say it again
could you imagine what Smash Bros would be like if everything Mario related and Zelda related was omitted from the franchise? exactly, YOU CAN'T
Battle Royale also needs some work done because it does have some stuff that is missing and there are little things that bother me with it
like where the fuck is the background crowd? They also could have allowed unlockable characters and hidden stages. LIKE WTF!! I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M PROGRESSING!!! I loved that rewarding feeling i got when i unlocked a character or hidden stage in Smash Bros. There is no feeling in Smash Bros that feels better than when I unlock a character or a hidden stage
you know that Hit the bag thing that was introduced in Smash Bros Melee? yea they need something like that in Battle Royale AND that Hit the target mini game thingy lol
It needs a subspace emissary type Adventure mode or ATLEAST an adventure mode like the 1 in Melee(I was expecting to see 1 of these in Battle Royale. They could have made a damn adventure mode. You remember that video of the early build of Battle Royale when it was called "Title Fight"? well some of the stuff in that video could have EASILY been used in some parts of the Battle Royale adventure/Subspace emissary mode.
here is the video if you haven't seen it
They could have fleshed out the whole rivalry thing A LOT more than they did. The menu while selecting a character could be better and it is also bland when you are waiting for a match to start in the single player mode. I also like the way you "select" characters in Smash Bros better aswell. you know how when you select a character you have to drag the little coin thing over the character to select them? yea i like that more than the" regular" way you do it in Battle Royale =P
also i somehow "feel" more involved in the game while waiting for a match to start in Smash Bros but i guess that is due to the blandness of the battle royale menus and wait screen
I'm convinced that SuperBot was solely focused on just outdoing Smash Bros 64( being that it was the 1st in the series like Battle Royale is) and i'm hoping that they step it up next gen just the way Nintendo did when Melee released
It's a pretty good game when it comes to the gameplay or what not though(which is what matters the most to everybody i guess)
The reason i didn't like Brawl as much as Melee was because they slowed the gameplay down and it didn't feel right AT ALL playing with the Wii Mote but that was back when it launched
but Battle Royale is going to slowly climb up the chartz regardless though
