Forums - Sony Discussion - Can All Stars sell MILLIONS of copies?

Tagged games:

It will if Sony bundles it, which they may very well next year. On its own, not a chance.

This is a game that should ignite the passion in every PS fan, yet I am amazed the preorders arent reflecting this.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Depends if they decide to bundle it or not. I still think it is going to flop review wise. My guess is between a 78-82 metacritic. As far as sales it is really tough to say. Sony characters doesn't have mass appeal like Nintendo's characters. My guess is between 1-2.5 million but it's really hard to guess this because it has many characters but with no huge mass appeal and my guess mediocre reviews.




       

Depends if it will be heavily bundled. In this case, it could really sell well. It's a great game (by the beta), but Sony's market is horrible and killed Twisted Metal and Starhawk. A worldwide superslim 16 GB PS3 bundle with All Stars could do the trick and push the game.

That's what they are trying to change with All Stars, increase the mass appeal of their characters. Kratos is the only big Sony character and Drake and Sackboy are relatively well known. A game like this could improve brand recognition, if it sells well. So they could really make a big push to sell it (marketing + bundles).

Yes, the low preorders are a signal that it will need bundles. Maybe after a lot of bundles, the game will be more known and will gain some legs (like LittleBigPlanet).

It would make the perfect bundle game.  And yes these type of games are great for advertising so it would make sense.

So people are predicting that All-Stars will become the all-time best selling fighting game on the HD twins? Is that what people are predicting here?

A. was tekken bundled?

B. I don't see why not. Fighters have really lost their appeal and are best in the arcades. While All Stars is not similar in anyway i think it will be a fresh fighter with an experience exclusive to the PS3

Why is Sony going to bundle All-Stars, in order to counter a Smash Bros. release on the Wii U?
