Seriously, I cannot see the 360 demographic digging the "kiddy" look of Banjo... They will all buy Gears and Fallout and COD5...

This game will flop. That does not mean it wont sell a million, but for a franchise this big, and for the amount of money they have put into this game.... anything less than 2 million is a flop. Kinda a similiar situation as Ninja Gaiden. Big Franchise. Big Budget. Less than 2 million = FLOP

Now if it does recieve steller reviews I might sell around... 2.5 million, and to me, if this game sells that much that will be SHOCKING.

Remember- The largest part of the 360's userbase is testosterone charged 13-20 boy/ young men. That demographic likes things that look cool.

This game would have decent sales potentional on the Wii do to the kid appeal, and females(for some reason I could see girls liking this.. must be Kazooie...) and the fact the Wii has a platformer fanbase (because of SMG)

Yeah, these kind of games appeal only to tardcore. Should be on wii.

 

Remember: The largest part of wii's userbase is little 3-30y boys who haven't even hit their puberty yet. That demographic loves kiddy games.

 

You have a history of flamebait and trolling, and most of it is deliberately skirting the bounds of the rules.  The only thing worse than a troll is one who deliberately tries to skirt the rules by straddling that line.  This is exactly why Naz and I have agreed to play hardball with this type of troll.

In short, cut the crap or your next ban is permanent, consider yourself  on an extremely short leash right now.

That trailer just reinforced my belief...

It had a rather lame and weird beginning to the trailer and then they showed some random, stupid looking machines...

Ratchet saw sales much worse than expected do to the demographic reasons I just stated. I think the one thing that saved it was the low competition on the PS3 last year. I could see Banjo selling like Ratchet, breaking a million after a while.

Remember though, a lot of those testosterone charged 20 year olds were kiddies who probably played/owned the first two BK games on the N64, and probably still have a soft spot for it in their hearts!  I wouldn't be surprised if this game turned out to sell really well, if not for the nostalgic game alone.

looks good to me, the previous banjo games never interested me but this really does.

I just can't believe the negativity behind the game just because it's different.

Haters go cry or play some Mario

If a game doesn't change, we scream for change. If a game changes, we scream for retro. There is no pleasing this mentality.

This game looks great, I can't wait to try it out. I'm kinda glad they tried something different.

I can't see it doing particularly well.  Maybe get over 1m, but who knows.  Is Rare making the new Viva Pinata as well, if so, then they could be in for a torrid time.

I'm surprised they are not making another perfect dark game though....could this be Rare's last 2 360 titles while under the arm of MS.



Prediction (June 12th 2017)

Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.

PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)

PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)

Rare is working on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise, Banjo-Kazooie: Stop N Swop, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, and the 360 avatar system.

What's giving you the impression these are Rare's two last games for Microsoft?
