Well, I don't think this opening is good at all. Any less than this and it would go down as a flop. This is just high enough to not be considered a flop. If that is "good" to you, then yes, it's good.

Also, this game won't pull an Uncharted. Uncharted's major strength is that it was one of the only AAA exclusives on the PS3 for a loooong time. New PS3 purchasers all had Uncharted on their lists. I think that that it will have good legs though.

I think the game is great. I give it a 9/10. Now, as far as "best sandbox game this gen?" or "ever?" Hell no. GTAIV was easily better, and every GTA all the way back to 3 managed to surpass this admittedly excellent game...and I loved this game, I don't even like GTA.

I like NMH nearly as well, this gen.

Prototype, I hope, can come close. I have that on my gamefly.

It's fine to admit this game is great. It reminds me a lot of Fable, always has. Meets Fable II in quality as well. However, this, nor Fable 2, is a "best of this gen" anything. It's just a great exclusive, that didn't sell too well, unfortunately. A game this good....I don't know the budget or anything, but this level of quality needs some money behind it. I hope it has legs so we can see Infamous 2.

Uh huh.  If you make a bad prediction then own up and say "wow, I overestimated that one"....don't turn around and say, "well, it's pretty much what I expected" when you went on record and predicted almost double what it actually sold.  Changing your estimate after the fact is spin, pure and simple and expect to be called on it.

Lol

"Almost double"

I didn't realize 300k was almost 370k.... Now you are over exaggerating.

I predicted 150K, and it did a little over that, so not disappointing at all for me. If you set your expectations too high, it's your problem, not the game underperforming

Now who's nitpicking? If it sold 35k less his prediction would have been double the amount sold....so therefore, almost double.

It opened up better than Uncharted and Ratchet according to vgc.

Who cares about Game sales?

Publishers for one....

Game Devs....

Retailers....

Console Makers.....

Stock holders (if applicable)

Fanboys....

I understand why you want to hold quality over sales...But the reality is that is the game is question has low sales..then it's quality is being overlooked and the focus is going to other tittles within the release window....

When the Game is Exclusive to one platform and hold a great level of quality...it is dire if the sales are not good......

InFamous is a very well made game...I have seen it in person....If next weeks sales are not over 150k or atleast 120k then this will be another overlooked tittle on the PS3 as I assume sales will only dwindle from there on.......But hey things could change.....

This is a strange Trend on the PS3 with quality games....The PS3 moves the least software for some reason....

@Squilliam

After next week sales are in..Would you say that it will reflect Uncharted 2's opening week?

I don't think so...

CGI....You can't expect two different sets of numbers...
