Splinter Cell is a Huge franchise on Xbox. Remember, Double Agent was multiplat and came out when Xbox 360 only had a 5 million installed base. In no way could it have done fantastic numbers. The userbase just wasnt there.

Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell were both made by Ubisoft and share very similar gameplay styles. And Splinter Cell rocks!!!

 

 A. Originally, Double Agent was an exclusive to the 360. It wasn't ported to the ps3 for almost a year.

B. It doesn't matter that they are both made by the same company and that they share a genre. What makes you think fans of AC will move onto SC because they are made by the same company? One is an open world medieval stealth title and the other is modern with the use of technology. Completely different. 

C. Gears of War was also released with an install base that small and looked at how many sales it got.

D. I think this is more of you thinking Splinter Cell rocks then it is the majority of consumers thinking Splinter Cell rocks. The fact is the series changed it's roots with the last outing and has lost a number of it's fan base by doing so.

Gears of War says otherwise.

Anyway, I expect Uncharted will do ~2.5mil LTD.

Not sure about Splinter Cell. If Microsoft really push it with advertising and make it one of their priorities this holiday season, then it could well work on up to and just over 3mil. Then again, if it's treated like Ninja Gaiden 2, it might only do 1.75-2mil LTD. Really unsure.

What makes you think Splinter Cell will do those #s? A serious question, not being ugly.

 

 Its funnly how you dont even question me about the 4 million Uncharted 2 numbers I predicted even though the first only did about 2 million

It's funny that you compared these games in the first place, but hey, it's whatever. Uncharted 2 selling 3-4mill (even though 4 seems a tad high) seems feasible. Splinter Cell  Conviction selling Assassin's Creed #s (IMO) does not. Have you seen Splinter Cell #s? Sure, it isn't impossible, but unlikely. That's why I questioned it...

 

The first Splinter Cell sold 5.5 million copies across PS2 and Xbox 1

Splinter Cell sold nearly 3 million on the Xbox 1 alone.

 

 True. But the sales for the series have been decreasing, not increasing like you suggest. I can see it possibly doing 1.5-2 million but anything past that would be, frankly, a miracle.

But look at Double Agent on the 360, it sold no where near that. That, once again, is why I questioned Splinter Cell and not Uncharted, even though I admit, I can't see Uncharted 2 doing 4mill either.

 

Do you really expect Splinter Cell DA to sell 5 million copies on a 5 million userbase?

The latest Splinter Cell game was terrible..........goodness me so bad. Uncharted is a game I personally thought was a turd on a blu-ray disc however many people enjoyed the game and it has a considerable fanbase.

I see Uncharted 2 taking this one.

People said the same exact thing about MGS 4 before it came out

Right, across TWO platforms, not one.

 

My point is that the franchise is big and you asked  me why I thought Splinter Cell could do great numbers. It sold 3 million on the hugely unpopular Xbox 1 alone. Uncharted never has even seen 3 million yet.

And MGS4 hasn't and wont' reach the number of the first two installments in the series. MGS4 had the benefit of being the biggest named PS3 exclusive. MGS4 is also a bigger named series then Splinter Cell and with a bigger following, and yet you suggest that SC will sell even more then it? How could you possibly think that?
