Prototype, more than any other current game, seems to be the main competition for Infamous.

Fair amount of similarities too; super powered anti-hero, post apocalypstic environment, comic book style story telling, free roam open world, high mobility game play mechanics. Even the character designs are pretty similar, which had me thinking that there are only so many character designs that can be done for a semi-serious game without appearing either too over the top or periodic.

There should be a split between these games in terms of genre sales, with the better of the two eventually picking up more residual sales (at least on the PS3) over time.

Infamous really shouldn't get a "free ride" from PS3 owners simply because it's a platform exclusive; they will be choosing between one or the other in most cases. But they could pick up if Prototype disappoints via word of mouth, otherwise the sales will probably remain split (reduced for both).

I assumed Infamous would have a better launch. I would have bet the farm that it would outsell UFC atleast.

seriously, these numbers cannot be right. I didn't expect huge numbers or anything but these are just far too low. There must of been reason why it took forever to even get THESE numbers up, because they probably are having issue collecting the data. I totally forsee a correction happening in the next few weeks. Not to mention it has been weeks now and they don't have any data up for it.

The game has to be selling on a rather well basis. KZ2 didn't even get the same amount of exposure as Infamous is getting and many people are in shops asking about Infamous(something that didn't happen nearly as often with KZ2). Gamestop even reposted advertisements for it(when they were originally supposed to be replaced with Prototype) because it's selling so well.

Great game that will hopefully have good sales legs which will carry it to 2 million sales ltd.

hell even Yahtzee liked the game.
I'm sure sales will pick up.
Besides, I think 150K is not a bad start for the game.

any prediction for Infamous 2nd week sales?

2nd week : 100k

3rd: 50k

4th: 25k

5th: 10k

6th: 7k

7th: 3k

Now if it was a casual wii game

8th week: 300k

9th: 400k

10th: 500k

The bundle should give it a nice boost. When will that happen?

Oh god, no. SO many things were wrong with that OP, I'm not even going to start on it.

No it doesn't, it goes to show that people don't like sandbox superhero games.

And remember guys,

^^ Huh?! I like sandbox superhero games, kinda why I can't wait for Crackdown 2.
