It's going to sell more than the first two games for sure. But I don't see it selling more than 4m really.

I believe it's because it counts the views of people that watch it as an ad on youtube. As in one of those "Click to skip ad" videos. I think. I could be wrong.


Youtube only counts those views if the person does not skip the ad, so you're partially correct.

You're very critcal of Sony titles arent you? Especially underrated ones which could've done better. This just might be the moment of redemption for InFamous.

A fairly undeserved redemption. It does nothing different or better than the previous games.

I can see the unsold copies of Infamous 2 going "THE FUCK!" if this sells significantly better.

 

It does nothing different? It sounds to me like you played it and completed it already >.>



It will probably be the best selling game in the series by a fair margin, but that's not really saying much.

I think it can break 4 million, largely because it's likely to be the best game on PS4 for quite a while.

I see it the game performing well. It helps that infamous will be one of the best games on the console for a small period

I think it will surprise a lot of people how well this game will do. I think itll do close to 4.5-5 million units lifetime, it ll also probably have some nice legs.



           Survivor Millennial vs Gen X!!

First week, it has a good chance of selling 500k to 750k. Life time, about 3 mil.

Underrated series IMO, but looks like a great game. If/when I pick up a PS4 it will be the first title I probably snag.

On topic, the combined sales of the first two were around 4.5 mil I believe. That was with a much larger hardware base.

Would not put too much stake in the YouTube views.

My guess is around 2.5-3 mil lifetime.

2 million sales from people that buy a PS4 in the next 6 months before the order.

1 million sales from people already with a system. Killzone is at 1.5 already. Infamous should do similar.

1 million sales during the holiday.

3 million from legs.

 

I can see it doing 7 million dude. Resistance: Fall of Man did 4.2 million for comparison.



Since ps4 is more popular then ps3 i expect the serie to grow



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
