I m mixed

the pre-orders are still low.
The sales will depend on how people react to the review

As I have said before, AW is a new IP and like Bioshock at his time, it will need very high praising review to make people think : "this is a must have experience, I buy it"

Also, AW is not a FPS, it is a shooter with a not so badass hero ... It is good for me, but is it good for the average Xbox360 owners ?

Because 360 owners will only buy a fps with a muscle bound baddass hero.

We really need a roll-eyes gif on this forum.

OKI, you are only the one that seems to have problem with my post

let's put it in another way specially for you

AW is basically a survival horror (= niche game) that may have problem to sell well

Then say that without the thinly veiled dig at 360 owners.

no, not really, just didn't post before cause I was not interested in discussion on other topics. Decided to get involved in this topic cause I'm kind of interested how an IP  that doesn't contain 'steroid heroes' will do on XBOX 360. And I really hope it will do very good, judging by the reception I guess it deserves at least 1+ mil.

It was lack of variety of exclusives (an not the ones that I could buy also on PC) that made me sell my X360. AW seems like an interesting change, guess too late for me but I do hope that 360 owners will appreciate some new fresh and more innovative IP on their system.

Then why couldn't you voice you "opinion" like that in the first place without the pointless digs.

Like this, an opinion I respect and take on board.
Your very first post, troll like in essence.

Got to love theose steroid heroes in Forza.

I personally will be getting the game on day 1, I just hope enough people purchase the game to garner a sequal

Plus it will show MS that exclusive new IP's actually sell well on 360 which in turn will force MS to make new ones which will = happy 360 gamers

Forza is not exactly such a new IP is it ?

Sorry for my previous rant, as i said, guess I had to get it out of my system. Believe it or not, I've experienced quite a few 'examples' of some XBOX Live 'mature' users. Guess it was just my bad luck with the service and having to pay for it just tipped the scales for me.

But did Heavy Rain have problems to sell well in your opinion?

- Heavy Rain was massively advertized

- Heavy Rain was SINCE THE START advertized as a special game with a special experience, neither good or bad, just very different.
The review said the same, everyone was happy, it got quite good sales for a new IP

- AW was hyped since it became 360 exclusive as the best gfx ever AND as a survival horror that is so different/good/special that it can't be called/compared to a survival horror.
The review said it was not the best gfx on console AND it is not that different than a survival horror shooter

(from what I got, you take RE4, put Twin Peaks setting + great story = AW = a very good ... survival horror game)

- Heavy Rain pre-orders were superior compared to AW pre-order (I m betting/guessing from my memmory) AND PS3 install base is 2 fold inferior in NA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont know how will sell AW but judging on the pre-order AND considering the 360 base is heavly targetted on badass shooter WITH MULTIPLAYER , I m not sure this game will match Heavy Rain sales (I still dont think it will bomb...)

lol

I say what I want : it is a nich game that will be released on 360 that is primarly a NA console

AW : survival action horror with no online

==> shooter : pan pan : GOOD for NA
==> survival : NOT badass hero : BAD for NA
==> horror : NOT badass hero : BAD for NA
==> no online : no pan pan with your friend online : BAD for NA

Since Xbox360 mainland (and sales) are in NA, you can see the little problem here

In the other hand, Halo REACH is a futur BEAST !



Time to Work !
