If you mean 300k for both consoles, I could agree.
I think otherwise though. 150-200K for 360, 50-100 for PS3.
Reviews have been decent, 7.5-8 average I think.

Um, what are you talking about?



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Actually the reviews for "The Darkness" are quite good. Check out Metacritic:

http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/darkness

It's currently running in the 80's. It actually should be much higher than that but yahoo tanked the game. Most others are very positive.



Gamerankings.com has darkness @ 80.5%....Not too great. But, we'll have to see.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

My prediction.
1.The Darkness 65k-80k => 75K (Kinda Technu Z )
2.Overlord 40k-60k => 45k (Kinda Call of Juarez)
3.Hour of Victory 30k-50k => 45k (Kinda Call of Juarez)

I have a serious question for Xbots:

What do you expect the "baseline" sales for the 360 will be now in Japan? That is, after the Trusty Bell hype has completely gone away in a couple weeks, and we're back to "slow week with no new major games" sales, how many systems will sell per week? I expect the new baseline to be around 2.5-3k instead of 2kish. Anyone else agree/disagree?

 Hour of Victory will do worse than that 20-40k (lots of bad hype and flop demo)

Overlord will do around that or a little better 50-75k (good hype and fun easy game)

Darkness will do better 250-300k (lots of hype from the hardcore people, reviews and it's a shooter)



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

3-3.5k or something and then a little jump to 5.0-7.0 for oblivion.

Darkness - IMO, I doubt it'll get near 300k. No game this year thus far has done ~300k yet. Crackdown, Lost Planet and Guitar Hero 2 all were, at max, 280k/wk. I don't think Darkness will beat any of those 3 games. At most, I'd say 250k, but I'm thinking more like 175k should be safe and viable. Remember, there is a PS3 version, so sales might not be as brisk as some assume.

For the 360 baseline sales. I think it's hard to say, as theres only a month between now with post-TB drops and Oblivion, which should also increase the baseline.

Baseline was about ~1950 units on MC before TB. It never got to 1950, but I do believe that was where the minimum was (1050 was the baseline last year).

Trusty Bell should improve it to ~ 2250, and Oblivion should increase it to around 2400~2450. This is after the obvious increases are considered, and should be used as a worst-case scenario figure. Is this number awesome? No, not compared to anything. However, if post Oblivion baseline was indeed 2450, that's more than twice the 360's baseline at the same time last year. Since golden week has been over, the 360 has yet again been selling 2x or more week-over-week versus last year. This doesn't include the fact that the 360 sold 6:1 last week, and around 3:1 this week.

HoV will be interesting. I think it should get ~60k or more. IMO, CoJ is about the worst shooter you can get (in terms of hype and such). Atleast HoV had a demo, even if it sucked.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
