Forums - Sales - Force Unleashed sells 1.5M in first week

I believe that looking at pure quality for how much a game deserves to sell is stupid.


What else is there besides quality? The only other thing is the big name. Which may be a good reason but sure is a point of criticism when the game just isn't good.

1.5 million is great

the reason WHY so high is...all formats.

and the game -at least for the wii- is pretty damn good. i got the Wii version, my son absolutely LOVES the game(finished in 8hrs) and is playing it again, i just started playing it and well frankly...i think its one of the better games on the wii out there currently. personally from what i watched- and frankly when my son was playing in the room, i'd be watching what he was doing more than what i was doing at the time--i'd give the game a solid 8 out of 10, except for some camera quirks  i liked it alot.

for the record i have 25 wii games.
from freddie the fish for the little kids to zelda, to mario galaxy..i have all genres etc...i do not have wiiplay though.



I forget the user's name, but everytime he says something, it's about the PS3 and how "The install base is starved for games, so they'll buy anything, even garbage"

Hopefully this will shut him up, showing that almost everyone buys any sort of game if they like it enough



Thats very good =)

Shows that most people are not driven at all on game reviews. They just get what looks fun and that they wanna play.

I read somewhere that it had shipped 4.3m, and they said they were having to make more. That would basically confirm 1m on PS360Wii eventually



I perdict the Wii Version will sell 11 million. Wii= Casual SW= Casual (mainstream)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

It`s a great game,great story,good graphics,i like it a lot and i`m not a SW fan. The scores are a little too low if you ask me,but it does not have multiplayer and it`s a little short but you pay 60$ for it,so...that`s why it`s a 7 instead of an 8 or 8,5 .

False.

It's fan base is just big. I doubt "casuals" know the inner depths of the Star Wars universe, nor do they know the significance of this story.

A lot of people just want a fun hack-n-slash romp

 um.... you took my post seriously? read it again. I predicted 11 million sales for the Wii... clearly I was not being serious.
