Forums - Microsoft - Sunset overdrive releases in 6/7 days; Dismal pre orders

finalrpgfantasy said:

I haven't seen marketing for this game but as other users have said, VGchartz' preorders numbers aren't reliable.

The past week i've seen the SO commercial a bunch of times. I just seen it before the MLB World sereies game started.

For ryse and DR3 it makes sense, but insomniac dont really do PC games



Should sell about 800k LT at least, but I think a lot of other people are waiting on reviews before making a final call.

If great reviews then maybe 1.3mill LT.

As for being a financial success? Probably not.

VGC pre-orders aren't very accurate.



While I guess preorder are not really high.

I can't believe you guys trust the VGC preorders chart... it is more random than RNGesus in Destiny.

I dont know why people are saying VG preorder numbers are useless. Thus far they are fairly accurate appart from obscure Japanese games.

Sad numbers indeed for MS and Insomniac, but can you really blame them?

The game hasn't really had what I would call gripping marketing or overly enthusiastic previews. I think the game looks great, but MS havn't really done a good enough job of marketing this game.

This one could, they said they are very interested in PC but they have no plan for a PC version right now



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Really?  Then either something is wrong with the preorder chartz or people has little enthusiasm for this game.



Sunset Overdrive is a 22.98 GB sized game, average American internet speed is around 7 mbps.
It wouldn't take long for most of Americans to download their games digitally. Also, there are in-game incentives to download it at the comfort of your seat.



Although pre-order numbers on this site aren't accurate in the slightest I really don't expect it to sell well. With that being said however...can we stop using VGC pre-order numbers as a reason to make threads. First MCC and now this.
