Forums - Sony - What if MGS4 and GT5 P bombs.?

GT5:P is already a success in japan alone....

220k units is awesome!

Considering that was work they already did and wouldn't have gotten paid for if the waited till the full game was finished.

Seriously they really aren't trying to make a profit with prolouge that means 0% chance of bombing.

NJ5 - That link is iffy. Everyone likes to go with "companies go with shipped sales" so.... that could possibly mean VGC has undertracked by a huge amount (especially since there has been 3 months worth of sales since december)

would it be possible to get a hold of the company and ask what that number imeans?



These games wont flop they are the savior of the system. Don't expect them to lift the PS3 up to the heights of PS2!



lol. good try noobie. but it will never happen



I don't expect GT5:P to do that well just because it's not the "main" GT game. MGS4 should do really well---especially over a few months.

As far as hardware sales, I don't think you can measure how well a game has influenced hardware sales in just one week. It's about momentum.

MGS4 will sell consoles over a period of time...not just the first week. Sometimes people buy a console because of a culmination of games...not just one game. What we should see is the ps3 hardware average weekly sales, gradually increasing throughout the year because of multiple games coming out...not just one game.

there is no chnce that they bomb trust me, this game will sell a lot



One tracker in Norway includes downloads (Spillforeningen), I'll see if I can dig up some numebrs and check percentages at least!



Neither one of these games is going to bomb. It's unlikely that they will sell as well as their predecessors, but they'll still move a fair amount of consoles and make money for their developers.

So far all the discussion on the Sony forum is regarding how good MGS 4 and GT5 P is going to be... and nobody try to remember the past trend... apart from few partial hits like DMC4 and (i don't remember any other) :), all the games have mostly bombed on PS3

So to cut the long story short.. i would say there is a reasonable chance that MGS4 and GT5 P bombs... So far PS3 has no million seller on day 1. and i m not sure if it will have 1 game like this in this yr atleast.

So there are 2 question wot amount of sales will determine that the MGS4 or GT5 P is a success or a bomb..

i think for GT5 P anything below 500k on week one in each Europe and NA is going to classify it as a bombed

For MGS4 i think anything below750k on week one in each Europe and NA and 400k for Jap is going to classify it as a bombed...

Second question is wot is percentage chances of each of these games to get bombed again on PS3..

I would say there is a reasonable chance like 35% for them to get bombed...

So wot u say.?

 

 


 Because of this I wont even try and give a normal answer ... your so MS biased that I can smell it from here lol

Regarding GT5P in Japan (which was already released, so we can look at how it did):

GTA4 Prologue Japan PS2: 210k first week, 97k second week, lifetime = 790k
GTA5 Prologue Japan PS3: 109k first week, 31k second week, lifetime so far = 220k (with no signs of having strong legs)

This shows that it's not at all stupid to suggest that MGS4 *may* do worse than previous MGS games in Japan.

 


You can't say GT5P bombed in Japan because we don't know how many people got the download version....my guess would be about .5-.8 the number of people that got the BD version.
