1 million preorders... and 700k sales. So interesting.


Don't believe inside derp, but remember infamous was up for digital pre-order for 4 weeks, and how accurate is VGCHARTZ software numbers?

Insomniac?


Yup, in my opinion they haven't made a good game since ACiT. R3 was underwhelming, then they whored out the Ratchet franchise with those 2 horrible games (how I wish Sony would let another dev have a crack at Ratchet), then Fuse (lol), and then they went back to Ratchet with the okayish Into the Nexus. I'm sure we'll see them whoring the Ratchet IP again after SO bombs (even if it's a good game, the Xbox audience isn't for that type of game).

I wish them luck, but I've little faith in them after these past few years. But again, that's just my opnion based on my own experience with their games. Had they announced an Xbox game at their peak, after ACiT, then I'd be pretty damn hyped, but as is, I just loled when I saw them at the MS conference. But hey, they may prove me wrong. 

Well I don't know, all I can say is that from all X1 games that I've seen until now this is the one that looks the most intriguing to me. And I love the artstyle.

I can definitely see the X1 continuing to fall now that the Titanfall hype is starting to sizzle out. All Sony needs is stable supply. Then, launch MLB next month, exclusive marketing for Watchdogs in May, Driveclub in the Summer, exclusive marketing for Destiny, and then the Order late 2014. Add to that some hype building by showing off a bit of PSVR at E3 and it's going to be a very tough road for MS this year, especially if all they have is a HD remake, a game from a mediocre developer, and yet another Forza. I very much doubt QB will make it this year, and even if it did, it's not the system selling, buzz making type of game (see Alan Wake). 

Insomniac isn't mediocre, and Sunset Overdrive looks amazing. 

Based on a CGI trailer and their bad track record these past few years? How'd you come to the conclusion? I mean, at least if we'd seen something about then maybe, but we've literally seen nothing. We know more about QB than we do SO (and that's saying something). 

I honestly want to know where the hype for SO is coming from outside it being an Insomniac game exclusive to Xbox. I must be missing something because I swear no one gave a crap about them until they announced Xbox exclusivity (the reaction to Fuse, their two "Ratchet" games, and the constant hate for R3 would have led me believe otherwise). 

 

And regarless, SO isn't a hype building, system selling game. It's good for people who already own X1s, but it won't be moving many systems, it's not going to help MS' future prospects unless it comes with a nice, fat price cut.

They say that it has 150k digital sales here http://insiderp.com/ps4-reaches-7-million-as-infamous-sells-1million.html

Wasn't there a report that that PS4 digital sales were a lot higher nowadays than expected. It'd make sense given all the PSN $ cards at the top of Amazon charts (though Amazon isn't a big indication of much). inFamous Second Son was the first, full priced digital game I've ever purchased.

I don't care that it's exclusive to Xbox, it looks like a fun game. The E3 trailer was fantastic, if the gameplay is anything like that I think it will be a great game. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Do you understand that no one care for your biased  and uterly wrong "predictions"?

You can down play and hope XOne will fail as much as you want. It won´t change the reality.

The reality is that Xone is performing better than much of people here "predricted".

CGI non in game trailer...I thought we were past the point of being excited of those?

You arent getting it, they said it had at least 850k retail pre-orders. Which was completely wrong.

I said if the gameplay looks like the E3 trailer then it'll be a great game. Just because it's CGI doesn't mean the gameply will be completely different.
