a sleeper hit for the PS3 in 2009... mmmh, who knows. I wonder if Eyepet could be such a hit. Maybe if the console is cheaper when it's released...

*gasp* HEAVY RAIN IS VERY HYPED, lol, now explain yourself o_O

We've been through this. Not enough faith in humanity, remember?

Lol.

OT: Hopefully it's better than Dark Sector, not saying Dark Sector was a bad game. I really enjoyed it.

Doubt it. I don't see this game will be very good, and if it is, with no hype it will not sell "millions."

I'm going to call it for inFamous. That game looks like it might shape up to be good.

Yeah, just had to comment - I don't think this will sell millions. Actually, I think it'll be lucky to hit 1mil.

From the creator of the Fatal Frame series, that's fine. However, none of them are million sellers. Also, nobody mentioned this game is a third person shooter coming from a Japanese developer... I don't think they'll be able to pull it off.

Compare this to established franchises, like, Devil May Cry 4 which has sold 1.3mil on the PS3. Predicting more than that would be extremely optimistic. Just because it's a Gears clone doesn't mean it will sell like it - contrary to what the article says, there are not millions of people that will buy it because it "looks cool and is violent."

If it's hyped, it's not a sleeper hit!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I think inFamous and Heavy Rain have a chance to be sleeper hits. But of course we can't predict that. Hell, EyePet could be a sleeper hit.

Did I mention I think Quantum Theory looks awful? A living tower? What? Why are they climbing a living tower? "For their own specific reasons"? (IGN) What the hell kind of explanation is that?

One that doesn't spoil any story issues the year before release?

Quiet! You'll ruin everything!

ARGH!

Quantum Theory looks like a pretty good game. The thing that annoys me the most about the exclusive list is Heavy Rain. Nobody really knows what the hell this game is about. I think that it has expectations but I don't see it as being a huge exclusive. I need to see more videos and gameplay footage of Heavy Rain.

Why would people buy it because "It's cool and violent"?

Lair was cool and violent
Haze was cool and violent
Too Human was cool and violent
Devil May Cry 4 was cool and violent.

Hopefully Quantum Theory will be better than all of these games, but games sell on quality and marketing, not coolness and violence.
