Nice Bloodborne :D

So now a third person shooter plenty of zombies,  a very cinematic style , developed by Naughty Dog and heavily marketed by Sony for months was niche? It had ALL to become a mainstream sucess. And 750k on the fw is not so impressive at all when we are talking of the best game of a console with an 80 million userbase.

Bloodborne is NOT comparable to Tlou and the amount of people with a PS4 is around 25% of ps3.

The last of us is the only new IP in PS3 that sold more then 750k so i think so how Bloodborne will so close to 750k

Its very rare for a Playstation game to double its first week number let alone do more than 3x life time on the first week.

I wont mind it doing 500k LT but i doubt it will manage to do that if it opens to 150k..

I think it will open to 200k and do 350k LT

The last of us was considered niche before launch.It only became "mainstream" once it make everybody that was predicting low sales eat crow.

That is what i expect from bloodborne.

Most people here are saying "but the genre is niche","but Dark souls didn't sell that well at launch"

They forget that sould fanbase is bigger now that it was back in 2011 and that they are really passionate(hardcore) group.The kind of group that buy games at launch.

If this game is well received by reviewers,i can see having legs too.

So any game that sell a little is a niche game for you i don't agree with that,a game can target mainstream but fail to sell well.

Game like Bloodborne no matter how much you spend for advertizement won't selling as  much as mainstream games,how do you know the number of fan increased Dark souls 1 sold more then Dark souls 2 what i see is less fans not more.

Review don't affect sales as much as people thing

Are you sure you read what i said?

I never said that every game that sells little is niche.But the opposite is true!

A niche game,by definition,will sell little.If not,it's not niche anymore(aka,it became mainstream).

TLOU was considered niche back in 2013(before lauch).

Just look at old threads.People thought:

"it's a new IP and it is story oriented,with drama and stuff! It will not sell that much..."

Then when ND announced that the game sold 7+ million copies on PS3 people were eating crow.

Reviews don't affect sales? tell that to The order's legs.

The last of us sold very well so it's mainstream it have nothing to do with people expectation and don't you think a mainstream can flop or sell less then what people expected.

Only the most hardcore gamers read review most of people buy a game after watching an ads in tv we only have 2 week of The order sales even biggest IP have big drop in second week they have at least 70% drop,In internet i see a very big number odf person saying Call of duty is a bad games yet it's the second biggest IP

Again,i never said that! A mainstream game can flop if it is bad received,or have bad word of mouth,or is not advertised enough,etc...

That is not the point! The point is,people expect bloodborne to sell little because "souls games are niche" and PS4 has a smaller install base than PS3/360/PC.

What people are ignoring ,though, is that PS4 is outselling all this platforms software-wise even though the intall base is smaller.Plus Souls fanbase is pretty loyal and buy games front loaded.Just look at how much Bloodborne is selling at amazon USA.

I can bet that Bloodborne will make people eat crow just like TLOU did back in 2013.
