I fail to understand why everyone keeps calling Alan Wake a flop. Its not done selling yet, its still full price, and holiday sales will give it a boost. It should hit 1 million by the end of the year. Legs and price cuts might take it to 2 million.
Worst case scenario, it should break even.

Let's see. This holiday you have Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Halo Reach, Fable III, Fallout New Vegas, Dead Rising 2 and Assassin's Creed Brootherhood. I can think that Alan Wake could have a smal bump on sales but honestly not a big boost.
I feel bad for Pop: TFS, it was an incredibly awesome game, I'm worried ubisoft may leave the franchise.
And what about s&p2? it was a hyper omega flop

Yahoo only lists games with mainstream appeal and hype.

It's an exclusive title that took 5 years to make from Remedy, a developer whose past franchise sold over 7 million units. Worst case scenario would actually be Remedy losing money I'd imagine.
It's been discounted in Ireland and the UK. I can't speak for mainland Europe or NA.

Well I think it'll hit a million by the end of the year... not guaranteed but possible. For that to happen it needs to move 380K in about 20 weeks. It could possibly happen especially if legs maintain. Very possible if price goes down to $30 - $40 during the Holidays.

But Remedy is a small development team of about 40 employees. MS has also been backing the project since 2006 and apparently had a lot of say. So if anyone loses money it'll likely be MS.
Anyhow, its only been out for 3 months and legs are still pretty good. I highly doubt they dropped a mega budget for a survival horror game. If anything, most of the money probably went to creating the game engine which will likely be used for other games. Sequels should be cheaper and faster to create.

I was in Gamestop a few hours ago (hell of a sale they've got going on--but I put the games I had back. They were impulse buys) and Alan Wake was selling for about $35, I think. Prince of Persia was about $40. A lot of other games were selling at huge discounts AND at half price. I think Madworld is selling for $6 (and somehow, I still didn't buy it). I loved Alan Wake but the writing is on the wall for that one.
