It's definitely possible the way the software pipelines have begun to dry up. There aren't all that many options anymore, so it will be easier for the few games that release to meet their sales goals.

Exactly what I was thinking. There's somewhat of a drought right now and pretty much any new game sells well. Hell even Spider-Man sold well.

Next-gen early adopters don't really have that much to choose from...

I think it will happen.

Hmm... I think their goal is a little too high.

Assassin's Creed sold over 10 million (on PS3 and 360, according to VGChartz), so having a new IP on a new generation of consoles sell over 6 million is doable.

However, I think because of the bad press (delay, downgraded graphics), the hype is not what it used to be.

I think if Titanfall was multi-platform, it could reach 10 million. My personal prediction for Watch_Dogs is that it will barely pass 5 million.

I am also curious what happens if it doesn't sell 6 million units. Will it be dropped as a franchise? Will Ubisoft give it a second chance? Or will it be a similar situation to Bioshock Infinite or Prototype?
