Let's say that will sell 600,000 first week...
Nope, nearly impossible.

You're talking like Bloodborne will have no legs. 600K can turn into 2.5M. PC fans of BB will take their time coming around to buying a PS4, and they won't until there is a decent price drop. But a lot of them will come around eventually, though I also expect a lot of them to buy digitally, since that is what they're used to. With the 360 fans also hopping across in reasonable numbers too 2.5 million is definitely on the cards even with a sub-1 million launch.

Dark Souls got near 3 million across all platforms.

Also with a more modern setting and guns it will attract gamers that are not so much into medieval era games.

So after all the observations, FW sales should be put between 700k-1.2mil WW, looks like 2.5mil isnt a bad goal for the game!



I'll go with 3mil+.



It is sold out on Amazon until the 27th and still climbed up to nr2 on the charts as we speak, the thirst is so real even the digital download has gone in the top 40. Game has been streamed a lot and there's lots of positive word of mouth.

I think it'll do 3M.

Dark Souls managed to sell more than that with it's complete install base, Bloodborne seems more accessible and better marketed than those titles.
I'm pretty sure that Dark Souls netted over 3 million, if not around the 4 million sales mark, so Bloodborne could easily sell more than 4 million, if not close to 5 million.

Dark Souls sold roughly 3m on PS36

Dark Souls II sold about 1.5m on PS360

Demon's Souls sols 1.77m on PS3

So id say without Xbox no, but at the same time i think Bloodeborn has much more going behind it being what many consider the first big PS4 exclusive, sooooo its possible but its hard to say either way when its on one console.  I do think its possible though, just needs to find growth and not only the same people

i just want to say that a lot of people, including myself, skipped dark souls II under the assumption it was going to be ported to ps4.   i never expected the port to be soo late it would come after bloodborne.

 

OT - ps4 has a lot of 360 converts and great critical acclaim.  i think 3-5M is possible.  this isn't the next CoD but i do think the "souls" franchise is gaining in public awareness and popularity and that the faster combat of bloodborne will help bring in new players.



Including Digital, yeah it will.

This is the only 90+ game on the PS4 XOne that's not a remaster or last gen port. Alot of people are gonna jump on this in such a dry period.

Dark souls and Dark souls 2 sold two thirds of their copies on the PS3.

If Dark Souls can sell over 2 million on the PS3 then Bloodborne can sell over 2.5 million on the PS4.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

Yes, around 2.5M is a good prediction.
