And you are right it will be proven wrong... because it will decrease... obviously.

If over 100k per week buy a PS3 and less than 60k are buying the game then it will fall quite quckly.

You might need to check your math again.

Just a suggestion.

 

 ok ok... i take back "quite quckly"

less than 6k would have to buy the game for it to fall

No, my maths is fine. Can I suggest summer school for English?

Bingo.

Tombi is right.

For example, this week the attach rate is 6.13%.  If the PS3 sold another 100k and KZ2 sold 50k, the attach rate would rise to 6.33%.

Not to mention we are including Japanese HW, so it is really 7.14%

Everybody makes maths mistakes.

I think MAG will sell fine. It will sell to the SOCOM faithful. It will outsell SOCOM: Confrontation, so it should make it to 1M... hardly a bomb.

My maths left me for a while... you are correct.

Either way it will still be rather poor sales for such a mega hyped FPS and MAG wont have that kind hype or interest.... that was the point I was making. A subscription would send it to the bomb department.

 

I doubt MAG will sell well with or without a subscription.  It is an online only shooter.  They generally don't sell well.  I am not particularly impressed with the first batch of pictures for MAG.  It looks like a poor man's Socom in first person.  Call of Duty and Killzone 2 will occupy all of my online FPS time.  I would have preferred that SCEA would have spent the MAG resources on a different IP.  Hopefully, I am wrong but I don't see the need for another "run of the mill" FPS on the PS3.

 

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

@squill

I know... I just wanted you to say it out loud!



This game may just be a bomb in the end. 6% of PS3 owners have paid for KZ2, and that stat will fall obviously.

How many will pay a monthly sub for a FPS?

And to compound the problem it will launch around about the same time as COD MW2 presumably.

Whats that got to do with anything?

A very small % of 360 owners have purchased Left for Dead, but they still pay Live fees.

And MAG will likely bomb, but it has the potential to succeed. If Sony advertised it telling the public about intense 256 player online battles then...who knows.

Warhawk is an online only game but it is quite popular
