Nothing does that well for the start of a generation. Especially for a fad genre of games. Take Wii Fit U for example.

So much for the prediction thread i saw yesterday estimating 700k first week sales.


can you link me to this please.

I remembered incorrectly. The prediction was 200k first week, and 700k for first month. Still CRAAAAZY

If I would buy a X1 I certainly would buy ksr once cheap enough. Always keep some party games for ocasional reunions.

I only played the jet ski demo. it is great for what it is but the hardcore audience that are early adopters will not jump on this right away. this game will propably sell 200k first week, 50k second, maybe  10k each week for the rest of the year. Bundles will make this game popular!

Huh? What happened to your earlier predictions? Just three days ago you predicted:

  • 200k first week
  • 700k in April
  • 4 million in 2014


~250k-300k retail and 350k-400k from bundles is not unlikely

I have no clue what is likely or not, I was just surprised as your latest prediction seems a lot lower than three days ago.

I'm especially surprised how you expect Kinect Sport Rivals to sell 4 million this year if you predict weekly sales of about 10k from the third week on. You seem to believe that the vast majority of sales will come from bundles - but why should Kinect Sport Rivals bundles sell like "hotcakes" if the retail version doesn't?

10k not including bundles. 40k with bundles

I would give it a try but my XBOne is currently on a truck in Mexico. At least that's what FedEx told me. Stupid broken console.

The critics have given almost every game so far this generation lower scores than they deserved.

 

Except Titanfall.  They scored that too high.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
