@ dbot, uncharted 2 will not flop, don't even think it, PS3 fanboys will buy 10 copies each if we need to

Well we still don't really know how Heavy Rain is going to play, or really have a release date, but of course far more than Alan Wake

 

Having seen a few extensive developer gameplay walkthroughs I think I had a good taste of the game.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

I agree.  I will be buying it as Christmas gifts for my family.  I was just speaking in terms of hype, those are the titles that are receiving the most attention.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

Could you enlighten me (or point me somewhere) as I am still quite confused about it

Infamous
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake
MAG

 

1) We bearly know anything about the game...
2) If we were to judge from Socom and Warhawk, the game should post some nice [not amazing] numbers....


OT:

InFamous - Don't think this will flop. I think this has a chance to hit 1.5M actually.
Heavy Rain - ..... It would be one heck of a struggle to get this to half a million.... Mainly because of the crowd it's targeting. Sales wise, yea... it has a greatest chance of all three to flop so far.
Alan Wake - It's possible but still too early to say anything...

as many have said: heavy rain is a bit risky.

I wish Punch Out would flop and Nintendo would decide to launch real big hitters for traditional gamers (I mean, games with a long development time and high budgets : Zelda, Kid Icarus, Super Mario, Starfox, Metroid, Donkey Kong, news IPs...)

Of those three games I believe Infamous or Heavy Rain have the highest chance of being a flop. Alan Wake it looks good but I have a feeling it may never be released. Sad but hey that is life. Duke Nukem Forever 12 years on and it has not arrived. Alan Wake well was scheduled to be released in 2006, fast forward three years and it is no where in sight. No video footage or trailer just screen shots. In regards to flops it is a long shot but I am hoping FFXIII flops in regards to reviews does not achieve AAA ranking. However it is guaranteed to sell 3 or 4 million on PS3 in Japan just because it is a FF game. IMO: All Final Fantasy series games are over rated, Japanese emo/gothic game with kids as the main characters. 13 could be unlucky for Final Fantasy series. I saw the videos and it looked like a very boring mediocre game to me. WRPGs >>> JRPGs.

Really?  You must have seen trailers for a different FFXIII because it looks cool IMO and it looks like it will raise the bar fore future JRPGs.
