Prediction, it will not surpass Minecraft.

However, I think it can become the best selling Triple A new IP.


And that's what he means. There are other games that have sold a lot, but we're talking AAA here and not simulator or bowling games!

I have a feeling that it'll under perform greatly.

So have we concluded at which level we are setting the baseline? Nintendogs at 25 million? that one seems fair enough..

So, counting out massively bundled games and cheap digital/mobile games, who is the current record holder? Pokemon Red/Blue/Green and Tetris were bundled? The top games are most bundled,

I actually believe the top non-bundled new IP is Gran Turismo on PS1 with a little more than 10M, looking at the top seller games at VGC. Any game above GT1 is on it's first iteration and wasn't massively bundled?



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Tetris for the Game Boy was bundled in North America where it sold over 23 million. I tried searching for Pokemon Red and Blue, but I couldn't find anything. Maybe it wasn't bundled?

The first Assassin's Creed game sold aprox. 11 million. Does it count as a non blundled, AAA IP?
