Fable 2 will be a million seller for sure. I'm not so sure about Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet and Twisted Metal becoming a million seller though...

 

L.O.L.

KZ2: 3 million +

LBP anywhere from 2.5 million to 10 million plus, time will tell if it becomes a cultural phenomenon. Possible.

TM PS3: 2 million +

Fable 2 will be a million seller; you're right about that.

 


So, you expect Killzone 2 to sell four times what Killzone 1 sold on the PS2, Twisted Metal to sell likely twice of what Twisted Metal Black on the PS2 sold, and LBP to sell to possibly an unprecedented half or more of the PS3 userbase.

Someone's a fanboy.

And besides that, hyped game on the Internet doesn't necessarily = multi-millions in sales. See: Zack & Wiki, Ninja Gaiden 2, Lair.

 

KZ / KZ2 difference: budget, attention to detail, yes hype, and obvious quality from what we've seen in videos and what websites who have played it have reported about it.  IGN in effect said that KZ2 did the FPS cover system thing better than others attempting it (read Gears).  They also pointed out what is obvious to everyone: the visuals were amazing.  KZ may have been < Halo, but KZ2 really looks > Halo 3.  There, your KZ / KZ2 analogy is disposed of.

TM:B had a smaller install base at launch, right?  PS3s install base will be way bigger once TM PS3 drops.  There, your TMB / TM PS3 analogy is disposed of.

LBP:  Put my prediction in your sig if you are confident it's wrong.  I dare you.  It will sell 1 million in month 1.

NG2 and Z&W had no buzz compared to KZ2 or LBP.  And no one had played Lair to figure out that the controls were wonky.

My sales figures are not set in stone, obviously, but they are way more likely to be correct than these games not selling a million copies like the prediction I responded to. 

Fanboy.
