Only great Silent Hill games (1, 2 and SH:SM) sold more then 1m lifetime. I can't see any reasons now why Kojima's game must reach that numbers.

Play P.T. with Dualshock 4 headset on (it is mandatory to finish the game), then we will talk. I think Kojima´s genious is what this very amazing franshise needs, since the original team is now on Sony´s Team Siren, he is the best bet to make a Silent Hill like never before, and P.T. proves it.

And I agree, Silent Hill 1-4 were scary, but they were not about scares, they were a horror experience.

In a diferent way, P.T. is the same, sure you will see many interent idiots screaming and laughing during their P.T.s broadcast, but the game itself is a unique, lonely, creepy and, in much way, horrorific experience.

I look foward to see this kind of criativity in Silent Hills.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

3 million copies, maybe. 2.5 and I'm being generous.

"Selling well" is too loose a phrase, given you'd have to know the budget to define what it needs to do so. Then again, 4 million for most franchise means it "sold well".

Well yes, low sales don't necessarily mean a game flopped, it all depends on how much it costs. But what i meant is that AAA horror games are struggling to turn profits as there just simply is'nt an audience for the genre as a whole and with Silent Hill looking to be a AAA game that means it'll probabaly have to sell into the millions to profit, at least that's what i think. But i think this game will manage to sell above 3.5 million it as it's a pretty well known franchise and has a highly respected team behind it, but who knows if that will makes the game profitable or not.

Actually, what Silent Hills proves is that there is an audience for the AAA horror title - you just have to know how to reach them and where to tighten things up.

More than that, they also proved that horror games, real horror games, could be made, that you could scare and enerve a player somehow.

2-3 million. Also, what's with all of this multiplatform talk, I thought this was an exclusive?

Those sales are wrong, very wrong. As most of the time :). The game will do quite nice.

Potentially timed.
 No word yet (though I think Japan Studio is helping - and if that is the case, it will be exclusive).


I don´t think it is even timed, i think it is straight multiplataform on everything but WiiU. I will get the PS4 version in honor of this awesome P.T. thing. =D

It won't be 7th gen though, or I sure as hell hope that it won't be. A crossgen game in 2016 is just stupid, unless it's a sports title.

Yes, the 2016 date makes it hard to be 7th gen indeed, but it could, since the Fox Engine allow easy ports and optimizations for both gens.
