Some crazy mobile game like Angry birds... iPhone version more than 12 million times downloaded.. 7 million of them are the full version.. and they earn 1 million dollar in per month in revenue from the advertising that appears in the free Android version.. thats serious money..

Depending just how good Bulletstorm and Rage are, they could manage 7 million between PS3, 360 and PC versions....If they can just do 3 million on the 360 and 2 million on the PS3 and PC then they are set.


bullet storm wont reach 3 million on 360, and definatly wont reach 1 million on pc.

rage has a chance of doing big but it all depends on the quality of the game.

unless all the kids stop playing cod and get their christmas gifts early, bullet storm isnt going to be the best selling ip this year.

What's stopping it? It comes with the beta for Gears of War 3 on the 360 (a game that has sold 6 million alone on each release). I'm not saying it's definitely going to hit 7 million but it has 10 months to sell that much. Just because you're not hyped for a game doesn't mean others aren't. ;)


well im judging on pre orders :P

the 360 version is going to sell very well, has a chance of reaching 2 million even more.

but i dont see the game selling equay in europe as in the us. mostly because gears isnt as popular in europe as it is in the us. other then that what is going to be the first week of the game 400K? if so then it wont reach 3 million. when it comes to the pc version, i dont even think were gathering data from it, vgc doesnt use dd figures. and now ps3 version, it could sell above 1 million, but it also could end up being a borderlands.

if their werent so many games coming out id be hyped for it!!

im buying more then: 12 game year. if i hype a game il buy it. and if i buy it i wont have enough money to buy the other games i want :(.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Considering all of those, I'm definitely going with Hyper Dimension Neptunia!

 I think you've said it youself - you're predicting Bulletstorm to sell more then Gears of War 2. 7 million is alot of units and I don't think a single new IP (Minus Nintendo's casual goldmine) has come anywhere close to doing that. You've expecting Bulletstorm to sell more then some huge, established franchises, like Final Fantasy XIII and Resident Evil 5 - simply won't happen imo. No one saw Red Dead's success coming I guess, but that game was far bigger budget then Bulletstorm (Which itself isn't exactly low budget, but not nine figure either :P).

 Bulletstorm I think will do fine though, I reckon EA will get a good 2.5 million sales LTD out of it, get the sequel out in 2 years.

 I personally view the best selling new IP as a toss up between LA Noire vs RAGE - I'd say Bulletstorm is a good wildcard though. I just can't go against Bethesda's recent track record and not say RAGE, as well as the fact RAGE really does seem to be a bigger budget game then Bulletstorm. ID are putting alot behind that and to be honest i think they're literally expecting 3 million sales as a bare minimum.

But still....Rockstar can put their name on a tennis game and it will sell. I see it outselling Heavy Rain easily between two platforms.

yes but i dont think it will reach 3-4 million sales.

one of the reasons red dead sold so well is because it had fun gameplay, great new features, a very good mp, and an interesting setting, as well as the rockstar name.

la noire lacks a great mp, and its gameplay will be either bland combat mixed with great detective skills, or heavy rain gameplay. also its not going to be called "the gta in the west"

it will sell well, but wont be as the same level as red dead. which wont guarente best selling ip 2011.

I didn't mention Red Dead at all.

But now that you mention it, the hype for L.A. Noire is reminding me of the hype for Red Dead. It started off the year before with a small amount of people hyping it up. Then Rockstar released info and more people started flocking towards the game. Now it just needs to live up to the hype and it'll do just fine.

I don't think it will sell as much as Red Dead but I think it can easily secure a few million by the end of the year.

I hope it turns out well.

Then again, I'm doubtful, because Rockstar is my posterchild for the most overrated developer of this gen in my book. No way am I getting suckered into buying another one of their games close to full price.

That would make my year if it would. I would love to see NISA have a multimillion (or even a million) selling game!

Hehe. I'm not going to lie, I misread the thread as if it was asking for our opinions on what we think the "Best New IP" was going to be for this year.

 

Yeah, I'll just run with it.

I think it will be codename:kingdom.  I don't see bullet storm or rage getting huge numbers with COD controlling so much of the market.

Well, it's being developed by Team Bondi, Rockstar is only publishing, so you should be safe.
