If there's ever going to be a "year of the PS3," it's when the damn Ico game comes out.

Interested in how this will turn out like...

 

 Shadow of the Colossus sales = 0.73 million

ICO doesn't have sales on the site, but I wouldn't expect that much. ICO is not a huge seller, a team ICO game will not make it year of the PS3. 2009 will be with GT5, GoW3, KZ2 and on top of that rumours of a price cut/slim PS3

To me any year with a team ICO game is a good year.

SoTC has sold over a million copies btw, though ICO was a commercial Failure.

Either Way, first day for me.

ICO sold 700K. Not bad either

Plus over 200k in Japan, and whatever the sales were in others.  Anyways, I guess it depends on what "year of" means to you.

I agree, a new team Ico game will not be some sort of market earthquake. However, any self-respecting gamer who doesn't play it will probably need to hang his/her head in shame at some point.

If you call yourself a gamer, and you haven't played Ico and Shadow of the Colossus... you need to make some new year's resolutions to do so. Powerful games like God of War and Ninja Gaiden are like gaming symphonies, bursting with raw energy, whereas games like Ico and SotC are like sitting on a cliff, overlooking the waterfalls of Yosemite Valley, or peering out over the Swiss Alps... they are powerful, and fufilling, pinnacles of gaming art.

Wow, I was under the misconception that it sold under 300k. My bad, its not as bad afterall. However considering that the game had 4 years of development time, profit margin can't be high.

 like it didn't sell bad don't get me wrong. I just don't think a team ICO game will be as big as everyone thinks. I don't want you to get your hopes up and have it only sell like 500,000 LTD on PS3's small install base.

Pretty sure its lower than 700k.....Or the resale value wouldnt be so damned high.

 



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I am really fed up with people always bringing in sales into these ferkin' threads, what ever makes your penis feel bigger, yeh! The OP is just bringing us, IMO, the best news all year with the comming ICO 2 announcement, or what ever they decide to call the sequel to SoTC's, one of the best and most artistic games ever created. All it tells me with the sales figures anyway is that most gamers have ferk all taste and follow the rest ot the sheep. Baaaahhhh, baaaahhhh.

Oh, sorry... I'm aware this game will have little impact. Tbh, I don't care how it affects the PS3, really. I just want to play the damn game
