And look at Brawl - its sold 4m, across ONE platform, in two territories in 2 months. Pretend the platform is doubled, and add Europe - and its an easy sell of 10m in just 2 months. Looking at it again, GTA4 should *easily* do 10m this year. If the game is good enough, it could so an insane figure... as high as 15m-20m. Yeah - that insane. |
GH3 is a completely different type of game than GTA4, so I don't think it is a good comparison. And about Brawl sales, releasing a game across multiple platforms does not automatically double the sales.
Personally I have no idea how many copies this game will sell, I'll just leave it at thinking 13M for 2008 alone seems a bit optimistic. But the article actually has a far more crazy prediction, saying Final Fantasy XIII will sell 8M copies in 2008.
