No way The Last Guardian is a system seller

Yeah, really doubt it as well.
It'll sell as it should be, no big hype.

How well do you think that it will sell ? Will it sell more than No Man's Sky ?

P.S.: I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the August thread. At 1469 replies it was the the most replied-to Amazon thread this year so far and since I took over entirely. It was also the third-busiest Amazon thread since Teeqoz started them in January of last year. Only March and November of last year were busier.

It seems that, even with the Halo Bundle, PS4 will take September.



I think PS4 will carry this month thanks to PSVR which might actually lead all hardware this month. Microsoft will be completely dependant on Gears.

Forza Horizon 3 dropped fast, wow.

People need to remember Forza is not a big name on the US. Also, it is usually a slow burner. Last year entry failed to sell 195k on its first month. And this year it will shift to digital more and more because of the UWP in addition to the grow of digital share across the industry.

Based on people reaction, it seems to be doing a lot better than the last three games. And based on my memory, it seems to be doing better than FM6 last year on Amazon.

It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

I'm not keeping up with NMS sales, as I don't really care about it, I know it tanked after the release, tho.
TLG should have a modest opening and even more modest sales but for a good while, it should be a game people will still be talking here and there some years in the future, despite the average scores it'll most likely get (low 80s at best, think it'll go around mid 70s).
I expect it to push over a million sales in the worst case, should be considerably above that by the next holidays, but I'm willing to say it'll be reaching 2M in the long run.
If it does better than that, I would be pretty happy, but surprised.

It will be hard to surpass No Man's Sky because of the opening week. I think that it is at 800 thousands on Steam, even after a lot of refunds. So, I  think that, with the ps4 sales, No Man's Sky sold 2-3 millions already.

I'm sure that they will do some deals with Gears in the next 3 months.

In November for sure and I am also expecting another round of free game deals in October to offset PSVR's launch.

Gears has a lot of influence in the USA. I think that the Gears of War's bundle was the best selling Xbox bundle of 2015.
