No ... probably not , but it could get close , lets say 800-900 K , if the EU sales are good , and legs last long ...

very little chance, europe would literally have to carry it on it's back to get there. PC version should eat up more sales in Europe than it did in NA too



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Very unlikely. American is the biggest FPS market, and these games are usually very front heavy (huge launch, bad legs).

It looks like a good game, but the FPS genre is way too crowded for its own good these days.

I hope you know you are 100% wrong. Europe is but in the PC Market which is 100000 times bigger then the console market anyways.


Revised statement: America seems to be the keenest on console FPS. 

Of course that might just be an illusion from how popular that Xbox was in the US, and how many shooters it had. Both of the HD consoles seem to be going for the "just like PC gaming on your telly!" schtick this gen, so Europe might soon show she loves them as well.

well when you look at the fact that comparing the overall current PC market to the makes the overall console market is like comparing the entire PlayStation brand's sales to the virtual boy's sales you would realize that the PC market is massive even when it's down. 

Largest PC markets are:

1. Europe

2. Asia

3. America 

 

Compared to Console which is

1. America

2. Europe

3. Japan

 

PC games sell best in the UK and the key genres are MMO and FPS. This is why Valve Corp. ports all their games to console instead of making a dedicated game.

That's pretty bad becouse PC games are being destroyed in almost every week by console games there. In the UK top 40 there are normally few PC games and in some week even all 40 titles are on consoles.
In Germany PC gaming market is less than half value of console market (data for year 2007).
In Spain monthly charts on adese.es indicate that consoles are much more important than PC: in most months all top 10 are console titles and a PC title in top 10 is a rare event.

Im not sure if France and Italy charts include PC games (I haven't seen single PC title on them) but I'm also pretty sure that PC isn't there bigger than consoles.

What you are saying about PC market size in Europe is simply false.
