I'm gonna go a little high and say:


500,000 first week world wide!!!

2.5-3.0 million LTD!!!

 

 

 

STOP... just STOP!!! Why the hell should it do that much? Its advertised decently, it looks good, the reviews are great BUT its a new IP and it comes out to the console with the smallest installbase. I know that its a free roaming game, but Saints Row is arguably a bigger title, and it had a much smaller opening then that. I know its an exclusive but that didnt stopped games like Uncharted or R2 to come out at under 500k first week.

 

It could have good legs I agree, but outleg KZ2??? Now we are just fooling ourselves. The only way this game has any chance to hit 1.5 million+ is if it will remain heavily bundled. Sucker Punch games never where 3million sellers on a 125 million installbase consoel, with casual games and that wont change with a 22 million installbase and an M rated hardcore sandbox game :|

 

This is why many people get underwhelemed on this site when they look at PS3 gamesales openings... fanboys just hype some games up and make them bealive that if it wont sell over half million first week its a bomb...

 

It's actually rated T. OH SNAP

definitely >10K WW :) but will < prototype WW

Seeing as Prototype is coming out on PS3 and 360, whilst inFamous is only on PS3, it's a given Prototype's combined platform sales will surpass inFamous'.

The only debate is as to whether Prototype's PS3 sales will surpass inFamous' sales; I suspect that they won't.

Sell a man a fish you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish you just ruined a perfect business opportunity.

We didn't emerge out of the stone age because we ran out of stones. Its time to be proactive not reactive.

LOL must let everyone know Prototype is multiplat therefore being the reason it outsells Infamous! Can't have people thinking its because Prototype might be a better game!!!
