In its defense, Alan Wake wasn't necessarily the biggest game the year it came out. Positive word of mouth kept it afloat for years so hopefully that'll be the case with this one as well.

This is a digital only game as well, so that will probably hurt it.

True, but because it was an Xbox exclusive, there was more buzz around the game, something that doesn't seem to happen with the sequel.

I mean, I don't know where you guys are expecting it to reach in terms of sales. Remedy aren't known for selling millions of copies in a single week but their games tend to have slow burns like Control and the first Alan Wake.

Time could hurt or help Alan Wake II depending on how well the game turns out. Overall, I do have confidence in Remedy as a studio but after CrossfireX and with Control 2 on the horizon, I'm a bit worried they could be spreading themselves too thin.
