people forget that Resistance is a franchise that has sold 3 Million WW....some coming through bundles.

It had to compete with Fallout 3 & LBP....yet came out with 500K Week 1 NA alone

In EU we know it can do better than that.

Since when is a potential 1 Million 1st week "disappointing".....have week 1 sales of MGS4, GTA 4, Halo 3, GEOW 2 made us a blind to the fact that you don't need a 3 Million selling 1st week to "not bomb"

@shanbcn

please tell me what YOU expected?

 

I expected 700k with 6.26 million install base. And 500k will be good but acording to ioi chances are low. 300-400k is bad because many multiplatform games have done better on PS3 then this hyped exclusive this year.

To be fair i expected 700k for Resistance and LBP. Lets hope they have legs.

@shanbcn & PSrock

so WAIT....you expected it to OUTSELL MGS4's Week 1??

mega lol!

and don't even try to tell me RESISTANCE 2 hype was anywhere near MGS4's......because it wasn't

If these are the kind of predictions the two of you make NO WONDER you get disappointed so easily!

RFOM2 will easily outsell the first one that's all that should really matter.

it's November, there's 2 million more owners, why not? 700K SHOULDNT BE SUCH A BIG DEAL.

I expect very good sales for both LBP and R2, both seem to have a chance (depending on OTHERS) to become 1st week million sellers, then the holiday season will be near and sales should only drop slowly.

My expectations are LBP to sell 3 million by years end, and R2 to sell 2.5 million by years end, yes they are possible, though we do not have enough data to say exactly how likely or unlikely my prediction will be.

LTD I say LBP 4-6million
R2 5 million

@psrock

you obviously lack any comaprative sense.

COMPARE with other Ps3 games....

If MGS4 couldn't do 700K then LBP & Resistance 2 had NO CHANCE IN HELL OF DOING THAT!

Consider its release is 28th Europe it dosent have a big competitor so it should be able to sell good there.

R2 is nowhere near the franchise power of MGS4. Therefore good opening week



darthdevidem01 on 09 November 2008

I am not able to comprehend how people thought .....actually forget Resistance.....LBP could sell 700K in Na in week 1

are people forgetting its a New IP....

It sold below Haze's & Too Human's 1st weeks..
