potential new customers don't always translate into actual customers.

3.5 million is very very unlikely to happen unless its massively bundled.

You've just said what I've been saying  " potential new customers don't always translate into actual customers".
exactly not all but Some which is what i've been saying even if its by a few thousand, the higher install base mean more sales . End of discussion

Not really, they just offset the people that decide to buy it that bought the last game. Just go look at Gears.  and GT while you're are it.

I agree higher install base does get new people buying the next game, but that doesn't mean the game will sell better than the first, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. In this case .. Uncharted won't sell another 1.5 million on top of what the first 1 did.

your saying it again sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't, so your kinda saying it might at the same time as trying to disscus it won't, look were all entitled to our opinions and you think a bigger install base wont make a difference fair enough, but life time sales I predict 3 million low end 3.5 million high end

and I'm saying fat chance.

Sony fanboys will say Uncharted
xbox 360 fanboys says Splinter


;)


people who has both consoles will either choose one or buy both and enjoy their games.

This is a thread discussing about sales though. However its funny to look back and see how petty it all becomes, and playing both the games is the only thing that really matters ... this IS VGChartz though

It really is going to depend on how much MS and Ubisoft are going to put into this game. Splinter Cell is an Xbox title much like the Meta Gear Solid series in Sony's. I think if they present something phenomenal at E3 it'll electrify a lot of the AC crowd into buying the game as well.
