I know Naznatips, it's like people stop buying consoles after a big game is released...
Oh wait, it's the exact opposite. Grand Theft Auto III launched so early in the PS2's life and had it sold according to the PS2's numbers at its launch, its chances for 12 million would be slim. But the userbase expanded and more people bought the system, and along with it, Grand Theft Auto III.
And there's no one type of casual. You could be talking about the Mario Party lovin' kid. The Madden-lovin' frat boy. The Cooking Mama 'lovin housewife. There are a bajillion different types of casual gamers. While I'm sure the PS3 and 360 are lacking in the Singstar/Eyetoy type audience, I doubt there's a shortage of Grand Theft Auto fans.
I know plenty of people who are willing to pick up either of the two systems just because of Grand Theft Auto. Even if it does sell less than San Andreas, it's likely that the 1 or 2 Grand Theft Auto games coming after it this generation will easily outsell San Andreas.
You can say that it will sell less than San Andreas, but come on now, 11 million? That's just terrible. Don't make any bets off of it. You know that's a silly number. |
Oh come on you're being ridiculous. Of course the userbase of a console when a game launches directly effects its sales. How is that a silly number? I'm predicting GTAIV will sell about the same as GTAIII on much more expensive consoles who's combined lifetime userbase will be signifficantly less than the PS2's. Am I the only reasonable human being left in this discussion? |
So when Grand Theft Auto III launched, the PS2 userbase was 30 million?
Do I really have to check figures for that?
And stop being so aggressive. Damn. I might just have to call you unreasonable and ridiculous if you get any more aggressive. Oh wait...
