Forums - Microsoft - Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (xbox 360) another million seller?

Do any of you think this will sell a million, I thing the price cut will help as well as the Christmas boost.

In conclusion I think this game has great potential.

Do you guys agree?

It has great potential TO SELL. And that's where its potential ends.



Sigh... another million seller. How can the PS3 catch up if the Xbox 360 just keeps pumping them out at a faster rate?



Tease.

yea i could see it even without a price cut 1/4 way there right now

If VGC numbers hold true, it's a lock.

If any X360 game can sell 250,000 units between NA and EU week-1, provided it doesn't drop off insanely (Too Human), it's a lock.

Usually, MGC Top 10 is a good litmus test for million sellers - if a title can get in the top 5 at any point, it's a million seller lock. Mercs 2, Soul Calibur IV, and Battlefield: BC have been the last 3 games to do that other than the normal games (COD4, H3, GH3, RB, GTAIV).

Oh, and RB2 has already hit the top 5. But that was a lock for 1m a long time ago.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I wish I could play the commercial.

I'm pretty sure the game itself is substantially less good than it's advertising though.

It deserves it... Its a fun game...

Blowing things up is the kind of game I can really like!

What is this MGC you speak of?  And how do they already have RB2 numbers?

Mygamercard.net...Uh...It's in your profile. Check their leaderboards for top played games. They are pretty much spot-on when it comes to projecting big sellers. Rock Band 2 has more players this week (10,000+) than GTAIV as of right now. Very few games get "that" high of numbers "that" quickly, as 1m+ sellers (and games that VGC tracks to 300-400k O/W) usually crack the Top-5 when the leaderboards get reset Sunday Night.

So having said all of that, depending on when VGC tracks RB2 numbers...I wouldn't be suprised if it sells 400,00+ OW in the US/NA alone.

LOL.  I am not good with acronyms.
