Devil's Third will be a full blown bomba, so will Fatal Frame if NOA ever releases it here.

Xenoblade and Splatoon won't bomb be they will be sales disappointments, ala Bayonetta 2 and DKC: Tropical Freeze.

How was TF a disappointment? It has passed 1m by now...



Depends on your definition of bomb. For example I see a lot of people listing Evolve. The beta, however, is phenomenal. So what would warrant it being a bomb? Same with Rise of the Tomb Raider from the OP. It's on less consoles now, so what qualifies as a bomb? Not outselling TR? Of course it won't. But, if due to the deal with MS, the dev/pub are still making money, does it count as a bomb?

If we're talking critical bomb, give me The Order. It will probably still sell decently, because PS4 has a large userbase and had a terrible 2014 in exclusives imho. If we're talking sales bomb... maybe Dying Light?

I can't think of any game that will bomb because I don't think there is a game that will sell lower than what I expect.

People are listing Evolve because hardly anyone gives a shit about that game and I've seen quite a few people say that the game bored them after a few matches and they don't see it as being worth $60. Actual consumer interest in Evolve seems ridiculously low.

Does it need to sell well though? I mean it's a nice little remaster. Do people expect it will sell anything close to other FF games?

These four:

- Devil's Third;
- The Order 1886;
- Bloodborne;
- Mario Party 10

Bloodborne? Seriously? Could you give a reason for that?

OT: Until Dawn, Evolve, Devils Third I guess

 

Not seeing so much hype for it outside the guys who liked the Soul series and those aren't a lot tbh.

I believe it will be a relative bomba.  It will sell between 1.5~2M LTD, which isn't bad, but the way Sony is marketing it tells me expect more than this in sales.



I disagree with Halo 5 but the FPS market is becoming crowded & saturated with too many titles. That said I think Battlefield will be the biggest bomba of the year & Mario Party because WiiU lol.
