I really like this series. I hope the game does well, and is well received.

It will never happen, but how crazy would it be if Infamous had a stronger opening week than TLOU, all those people that still doubt the game'll reach 3 million would instantly be silenced. :D


3 million is a bit too much. 2 million is a good number. But we have to wait a month to see the actual result.

I disagree, 2 million is in my opinion way too low, I'm still positive that this game is going to sell over 3 million in 2014. Unless of course it gets bad reviews.

In the UK

Yes, quite misleading title...

But given the UK as the PS4's number 2 territory, certainly for a game like inFamous, this is no bad thing!

until we start getting digital sales numbers, it will be hard to gauge iss or tf numbers or anything else . day 1 digital is a big thing.



Thanks jlmurph!

Well, shouldn't it have a higher ore order number as well?? I mean, this is the third game in the series, so it has a following already, while TLOU was a new IP...


Not really.

TLOU was released on a console with a nearly (At the time) 80m user base.

Yes, but it's the Sony hardcore that's bought the PS4 so far, and they're far more inclined to buy "old" sony franchises AND so far there's nothing much else to play... SO I don't think this is an indication of anything. It'll probably not sell more than TLOU in the end.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I think the Sony hardcore fans are at least as much inclined to buy a new franchise from ND as they're inclined to buy older Sony franchises from other developers, especially if it's as hyped as TLOU was. I don't think Infamous'll outsell TLOU but still this is good news.

Infamous will be HUGE!

Both the hardcore and the more casual of Sony's audience didn't really appreciate the past two games that much.

SS will easily outsell its predecessors.  Being release When there is really not much to play will help surely. But all in all, Infamous just can't be compared to anything that ND can make, honestly.
