I still don't think MP3 will do that great. Bioshock has been advertised a lot, whereas MP3 has had almost none. MP3 should have better legs though.

Are we including the PC version of Bioshock?

Bioshock - 300k
MP3 - 175k



MP3 - 3million
Bioshock -10billion.

You saw it first here, and I'm going to be right.

Kopbio, being violet is preaty much a bonus to become a killer app. (minus the 250 mario games released) You seem to imply that the 360 is suffering right now. Whats your reason behind this? That bioshock  and halo won't be enough?? Those 2 games will no doubt be a influx of sales and profits.


I surly dont believe MS should give up on the console. If anything I'm alot happer with my xbox360 than I was with my original xbox or ps2. My bais agianst the playstation brand has alot to do with the controller. I just dont like it. I was kinda hoping for the ps3 boomerang!

 *First week sales Prediction*

Bioshock 355,000

MP3 325,000

 



Around the Network

Bioshock: 220,000

Metroid Prime 3: 190,000

I don't think any is going to sell that much. Metroid has hardly been advertised, and Bioshock is a new IP. Plus, I don't think both are really that revolutionary enough to draw in more people.



Everyone on the internet has hyped metroid and bioshock, that's enough advertisment.

Nakushitemo torimodosu kimi wo

I will never leave you

As I have said before I am not very good with the software numbers, but I will say I hope both games sell extremely well since they are both awesome games (I say this with personal experience, buahaha).

Anyways, if I have to take I guess (and for me its strictly a guess) I will go with:

Bioshock: 320k
Metroud Prime 3: 350k

The only reason I give metroid the edge here is because Bioshock has a PC version and Metroid is an established well known franchise being released on a console where there haven't been a lot of hardcore love over the past 2-3 months. All in all I have no idea on the exact numbers but I am guessing MP3 will have a slight edge. Regardless both games are must owns for anyone with the appropriate platforms to play them.



To Each Man, Responsibility

We have 22 pre-orders on the games and we have receive aroud 50 call todays.

We sold around 30 Bioshock in one week (all platforms), but with the demand for Prime 3 right now we can easly sell it more than Bioshock, it just depend of the quantity of copies Nintendo send us ( 32 on the first day ).
