Forums - Sales Discussion - Any chance that MLB '08 The Show debutting in top 5 of US software chart

I think its a very rare ocassion that a PS3 title makes it in the top 5 of the US american chart. and hardly a dozen title have done so for PS3... mostly the american US chart is devoid of any red (playstation) title.

So is this game favourite enough to make a debut in Top 5.? and if so at which number.?

I m expecting it debut around 4th.

Mmmhh, maybe.

WiiSports will be 1, WiiPlay 2,(pre-SSBB craze) God of War PSP probably 3,

Furthermore Bully is released on Wii60 and MLB2K8 is released as well.



This could easily happen. It's been ranking high on Amazon for quite some time.



Currently playing on PS3: God of War III

Currently playing on Xbox360: Final Fantasy XIII

Currently playing on NDS: Chrono Trigger

It could do it , but I dont think so ... there is still a good chance for the PS2 version to outsell it ...

probably top 5 (most likely top 10) in US, the PS2 version.

I am not sure how popular baseball game is. To me personally, those game are hardly a sim, when they didn't show the biggest part of baseball, steroid use. ;)

Instead of 'training' your player, you should be able to just use some in-game money and buy steroid and be done with it.

It could do 50k first week.

2) 51,752
3) 42,689
Last years edition sold 87k first week on the PS2.

If the numbers don't drop considerably from last year it definetly has a chance at making the top 5.

I don't think the PS3 version has a chance at making the top 5 however. It might make the top 10. Sales should be up from last years release, due to larger install base, but I wouldn't expect more then 65k first week sales.

what?

MLB '08 is a baseball franchise developed by Sony. It's being released on the PS2, PS3, and PSP.

 


No, he's saying that if the Wii sells a lot, it could boost software, this displacing Sony games from the top 5 (hint, look at this week's American charts, sky high Wii sales, 4 games in the top 5).

Edit: Dang!

Yeah I quickly realised my mistake. :)

Nothing to see here people!



 

I hate baseball, and I hate baseball games. However, I hope this sells well, to the fans of the series, because I hear its got quality development. I won't be purchasing it though, and to me, it's a parody of the current PS3 blockbuster lineup.
