Its possible the game will flop, it looks like a risky project.

However, Alan Wake was profitable in spite of selling just over 500k in 10 weeks. Depends on the budget but I get the impression Remedy does good work with a smaller budget than many studios 

Anyhow, somebody at MS claimed pre orders were great so maybe it will have a solid start.

I dont think AW costs as much as QB much more technical + coming with à TV show staring very expensive actors. ( same problème than beyond , it's à a lot of money just for 3-4 people)

Imo they shouldnt have put a budget in à serie, i read  somewhere that the budget was very high because of that when they announced it , it must be à big hole in thé budget of the game and because of that, it might not be profitable.

Well bear in mind the money spent on actors isnt the same as TV/movies. Also, the actors in QB arent as famous as those in Beyond.

The TV series stuff is pretty low budget. It looks like a sci-fi channel show. Its some of the best live acting we've seen in a video game but it doesent scream big budget.

I dont think it has to be a mega seller to break even. But hey games like this are risky, this wouldnt be the first time a game lost money.
