I'd say 1 million is a pretty safe bet to approach profitability for that game. Personally I think it will do quite well with between 1.5-2.5 million sales lifetime.

i wouldnt say its a safe bet, considering just how long this has been in development and how big the changes that happened during developmet. this isnt a game that has been in the works just for the past 2 years, its been much more longer than that and went under numerous changes. im not trying to be a party pooper or anything, just pointing out something some people tend to forget. 

 

there was a thread that nsanity made a few months back about just how long the development of the tittle took, if i remember correctly the creator had the idea of the game back in the xbox and ps2 days. 

Its not the length of development the only factor, its how much time and resource has been spent developing the game.  The size of the team also comes into play as well.  1 million probaby would break even for this game which would be enough for a sequel also depending on reception.  

As for how well the game looks, it definitely has the eye candy thats for sure.  I wonder if Crytek has worked out a lot of the memory issues with the X1 so that if other devs use their engine they can obtain better performance.
