Forums - Gaming - Who will have a better first week in sales, Quantum Break or Ratchet and Clank

 

Which game will have better first week numbers

Ratchet and Clank (PS4) 440 77.88%
 
Quantum Break 125 22.12%
 
Total:565

It'd be better to just talk about full april WW numbers instead of FW to diminish the issue of R&C staggered release and late movie release
That way it's balanced; QB has an extra week (~1.5 because of R&C schedule) while R&C includes the movie week.

As much as I love Ratchet the games have never really been great sales wise... That's tough to call IMO.



If we're going to go on something other than gut feelings I guess it would have to be Amazon pre-order performance and VGC pre-order charts, and AFAIK R&C comes out ahead on both. And since USA is a proportionally much more important market for Xb one than PS4 if R&C edges QB in the USA it's hard to see QB taking it out globally. If the Amazon and VGC pre-order picture was in favour of QB it might have been a much harder call.

So I have to go with R&C.

Ratchet and Clank, maybe by a good margin.



Likely Ratch and Clank. It has the larger install base overall and is getting some advertising. Though maybe QB will have large appeal. We'll see soon enough.

The tendencies have been very clear, unless something weird happens (ULTRA weird i would say), Ratchet and Clank will sell better than Quantum Break.

I think the real war is between Dark Souls 3 and Ratchet and Clank (PS4 version).

I will be bold enough to say that Ratchet and Clank will sell better than the PS4 version of Dark Souls 3, which will be the best selling version among all 3 (PS4, X1 and PC).



Price point, cross promo with the movie, and larger install base tells me that Ratchet and Clank win this one.



Not done any research but I'll guess R&C.



I think the reviews and strength are on the side of R&C, but its FW only consists of USA sales while QB was a global launch so it could go anywhere.

Movie won't do anything to help with first week sales, cause it doesn't release until the 29th.
