Tough I agree that higher installbase is not = with higher sales, if reviews will be good the game will surpass ToD. The fanbase is there IMO, and the R&C franchise should have no issue to put out another 2 million seller, especially if some bundling will take place ;)

1.8/2

Taking into account the ten year plan and stuff, this game being the last and best ratchet?

8 million ;)

Na erm, It all depends if the ps3 gets the price adjusted or not


Wait i find it hard to predict the sales of Old ps2 franchises because the ps3 still costs more then what the ps2 did at launch. So it might be safe to say that people who buy "Playstation" aint going to spend more than that for a console.

So when the ps3 drops to that price it might life up the sales of old ps2 franchises from previous PS2 owners buying the sequel to the most loved games.


Just a thought

I won't say that higher install base = higher sales absolutely, otherwise MGS4 wouldn't have outsold MGS3....but ToD DID release when the PS3 was still $500 and the userbase just wasn't *that* high

Okay, I'll admit that that was ridiculously optimistic.

Around 2.2 million should be possible. Market saturation exists, yes, but the fact remains that the PS3 was considered a failure with no games, a ridiculously high price, and a pathetic userbase when Tools of Destruction released. Despite this, it sold 1.47 million.

The PS3's image is now a lot better, its userbase is way larger when it was back in hell year (2007), and it sells more weekly than it ever did back then. It has other games, so people will buy it, and it may have gained some new fans with Tools of Destruction. It will hopefully have online, and it will support trophies.

I don't see how this could sell less than 2 million.

And yeah, Resistance 2 could well reach 2.6 million, not that it deserves those sales.

Here is some data for previous R&C games. Every console one, except Tools of Destruction, and possibly Deadlocked, has sold 2 million at least.

1		Ratchet & Clank (All region sales)					2.93m
2		Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando (All region sales)					2.42m
3		Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (Old all region sales)					2.17m
4		Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters					1.54m
5		Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction					1.47m
6		Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal (Weekly american sales)					1.29m (US ONLY)
7		Ratchet: Deadlocked					1.02m (NO OTHERS)
