What are the chances of AGENT launching this year? that could be big...at least bigger than MNR... and no, MNR selling 6 millions? if it was on Wii, maybe

I agree 100% :D call me crazy but I think the same way about this game....I just hope Sony puts their marketing team behind this game big time because from what I have seen so far this is the best Kart racing game so far

I'm saying no just for the lulz

jsut becuase its like mario kart doesnt mean it will sell like mario kart, if lbp is any indication the mario kart userbase doesnt own too many ps3's. we shall thouhg i enjoy bold predictions. i predict maybe 15.mln at tops by the end of te year, realistically probably not, its not exactly lighting up the pre order charts right now. but you never know with these casual games.

I don't even think it's a new IP. Total awesome-ness aside, it is just a racing version of LittleBigPlanet.

If your definition of Intellectual Property totally ignores setting, company making the game, genre, and instead focuses on general philosophy behind the game then there are alot less IP's out there then most people think.

Whoa it's a different company?  I thought they both under the "Play/Create/Share" umbrella.  I figured it meant they were in the same loose series, like Wii Sports and Wii Fit.

Hell, I still call all shooters Doom clones, and all platformers Mario clones.

Hm, dunno, I think maybe whatever game Nintendo's Vitality Sensor launches with has a strong chance of becoming the #1 new IP.

I can't tell if this is a serious thread or not :(

Just in case it is:

- Pre order numbers in America are low - only 25K with 9 weeks left

- A lot of people are rather upset that the PSP game will be getting some features and racing modes that the PS3 version will not. Plus the lack of interactivity between the 2 versions.

- 6 million is way too wishful thinking IMO, if it's reviewed well and has good word of mouth and legs, I see 500K US, 700k EU, 100k JP for PS3, about 1/3 of that for PSP UMD format. I'm basing this number off hype and the pre order numbers.

- The beta left a bad taste in many people's mouth. Bad framerate, load times and bad camera angle that cannot be adjusted by the user.

- New IPs coming out this year that will probably sell more:

1)Agent

2)Heavy Rain

3)Alan Wake

4)Whatever Sony bundles with Move standalone and PS3-Move bundle. It'll probably be Sports Champions.

5)Whatever MS bundles with Natal, will probably be some sort of mini games collection game as well.

6)Whatever Nintendo bundles with Vitality sensor

I don't think I forgot anything :)

Will it be the best selling new new IP?

Possible. There isn't much against it.

Will it be the best reviewed new IP?

Wouldn't doubt it. I'm sure it's scores will be higher than Mario Kart Wii and that you will write a thread about it.

Will it sell 6 million?

No way and you are bat shit crazy. It's either that or looking or you're looking for posts in your thread. I predict that it won't sell as much as LBP.
