im gonna go with fable legends. i even see the most hardcore xbox fans forgetting this game even exists. and honestly, it looked bad at E3. (just an opinion of a non RPG fan).

i can see until dawn under performing. Dead Island 2 will certainly sell less than the first (which did a massive 5 million).

i think project cars will do bad too. racing games are on a decline.


I haven't forgotten about Fable Legends. My only gripe with it is that it doesn't look like anything that I would expect/want from a Fable game.

 

Which makes me sad. :(

then you probably should forget about it.



Probably Kirby and Yoshi.



Delicious, delicious games.

If Platinum's games never sell well, then by definition they cannot bomb, they could only exceed expectations. Also, they've never had the full weight of a MS marketing campaign behind them.


You realise how much conflict there is between these two sentences, right?



Devil third ( it would have flopped on any console)
The order ( reviews will killed it).
Evolve ( there isn't any hype for it as far as I'm aware).
Tomb Raider ( it won't have the install base to sell enough)



Around the Network

We haven't even seen gameplay for Scalebound. Its premature to say it will bomb. There is a few reasons. First its exclusive, yeah so was Bayonetta 2 but was on the Wii U. We all know how mature titles tend to sale on Nintendo platforms. With that said, we know Platinum games don't sell well but I think it could potentially do better than most Platinum games with Microsoft's marketing. Im sure Microsoft will give them all time they need to make sure its a quality title as well. Its important for them to have a quality exclusive in Japan.

Anyone saying Bloodborne is going to bomb is crazy. People will buy a PS4 just for Bloodborne. Games I think will bomb? Easily Devil's Third, Mad Max, and Resident Evil: Revelations 2.

Note also, that people have mentioned Until Dawn bombing? I think it will do well if it has good marketing. Heavy Rain was very profitable. A lot of Sony titles tend to be pretty obscure that they don't seem like they are trying to reach mass appeal. Bloodborne won't. The only game they have that could potentially bomb I believe is Order 1886 I believe it will sell simply because there isn't much in February and has a good marketing push.
