^ I agree, Looking back the best launch for a Devil May Cry game was 400k for the original. DMC3 opened to 193k or so on a much larger userbase. Also, the current PS3 Japanese fanbase is becoming notorious for not buying many games.

I'll predict the sales will surprise us. I think Japans ps3 sw has had a drought lately and they want something to buy (people who already own the system), and i also believe that people will buy a ps3 for this game also. after all this is just the start of the infamous ps3 year. 600k seems too high... I'd say 300-350(max) unless you are talking about ps3+360then id see 450k

lets wait till the first day sales come in and the weekly sales.

I'm still leaning on my 60/40 and 800k/600k predictions.

 This is not possible, DMC sell maximun half million in Japan Lifetime, you think DMC4 sell more tha DMC, just see this and cry http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Japan&game1=Devil+May+Cry+-+PS2&reg2=Japan&game2=Devil+May+Cry+2+-+PS2&reg3=Japan&game3=Super+Smash+Bros+-+N64&weeks=100

C'mon - we all read about the *massive* day#1 shortages? The real / full shipments will arrive 2-3 days after the launch.

Like it matters anyway - we are the only ones who care about day#1 sales! Sales after 1-2 weeks will be the same, regardless of how many were shipped for day#1.

Galaxy did what - 130k for day#1, and 230k for week#1? Is it *that* bad if Brawl only does 400k-500k for week#1? That's still a heap of units!

The most concerning thing about DMC is the lack of legs. Sell 350k week#1, but only 520k lifetime. Not good.

DMC3 topped out at 300k lifetime (minus special edition sales) - and that with the PS2 install base.

...

Will DMC4 really sell better? Maybe, across both the PS3 + 360.

anything above SMG for brawl is great. I think people here need to calm their expectations a bit....

500 K first day for Brawl, and second shipment has already started! http://www.vgchartz.com/news/news.php?id=821

DMC has shipped 250K so far. Up to now, it is about 66 - 33 in shipments, but apparently only 140K Dmc have been sold, so 78 - 22 % sold up to now!

there is no way that DMC4 hit 400k first week.... it will be lucky to do that lifetime.... 400k would be what a 30% attached rate(around the same Halo 3 did in US first week)... that would be like.. well really high... I am gonna low ball DMC4 because of the trend that PS3 software has followed... 175k first week... 500k lifetime... DMC3 for PS2 only sold what 400k on a user base of 20 million +

 

 


Nice call there on DMC4.... it might be about 200k first week or so, so that was pretty close. I personally believe that DMC4 will only sell 400k ltd max however.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
