I just wanna stress something, if you wanna get yakuza3 in the us or europe, you'd better buy valkyria chronicles IMO, I think it's gonna be some kinda test for sega!

I kind of agree with this statement. IMO, they're probably going to try to determine whether it's worth it to expand the market to worldwide. Yakuza 2 wasn't really hyped up at all for its US release and it was, what, 2 years after the Japan version came out?

 

 

I want yakuza 3, but Im not buying valkyiria

Valkyria:no ; bioshock: no ; madden: no ; dead space: no ; I'm okay for the rest but I'll go far cry 2 too!

Umm, how is Madden not going to reach a million?  '08 reached 880k, and '09 is already 350k higher than '08 was in the same time frame.  You really don't expect it to sell another 236k?

Wouldn't it make more sense to buy Yakuza 2?



dead space should but wont playing now and its a pretty good game



My PSN Name is:  EvilChronos    add me if u want :)

END OF GENERATION PREDICTIONS  "9-21-08"

PS3=130M     360=90M     Wii=120M     DS=130M     PSP=70M

Other Prediction: The PS3 will overtake the 360 XMAS of 09  "9-21-08"

 

Well they know that yakuza2 will fail. the version we have in europe has japanese voices with english subtitles!!! How do you want a game to sell with that settings? Valkyria is on ps3, such as yakuza 3 and yakuza kenzan. VC is also a typical japanese game, such as Y3 and Ykenzan. But I think there is a good chance for this game to hit the us, but for europe, that's another story.

The only real similarity they have is that they are both from Sega.  Also if they expect Y2 to fail, and then it sells great, that would be all the more incentive to get 3 out for the West.  Would Sony look at the sales of Folklore to decide whether or not to release GT5 in the West?



I don't think SC4 will ever reach a million. The sales have pretty much dried up completely.

17- LittleBigPlanet

18- FIFA 09

19- Far Cry 2

20- MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

21- Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

22- Fallout 3

23- Resistance 2

24- Tom Clancy's EndWar

25- Madden NFL 09

Most of those are yet to be released, because frankly most games seriously slowed down by now and will take a while to reach a million.

Semi off topic: What does a game need to qualify for Greatest Hits? I know Oblivion's on the list with around 700k sales, but Uncharted has 1.86 million sales and is not on the list. Does it need to have been out for a certain amount of time? (It's been more than a year, hasn't it?)

EDIT: Sigma has 370k sales. What is it doing on Greatest Hits?

Just a quick question, are you refering to the Greatest hits/Platinum re-releases? if so, Uncharted is definately on it, i bought it a few weeks ago.

If you didn't mean that sorry, i misunderstood your question....

Is Uncharted on it? I'm not sure, I didn't pay much attention when I recently went to buy Sigma (which was Greatest Hits).

But this Wikipedia article seems to suggest that Uncharted is not on Greatest Hits. Strange.

you guys are forgetting Need for Speed, which is definately a short term million seller

Dead Space and Far Cry 2 have a good chance to move 1 million aswell (if they are as good as the hype) .. I'm quite sure Bioshock won't make it, especially not short term

don't know about Fallout 3 - too much quality software this fall
