Forums - Sales - Disappointing Infamous PS3 sales for the 1st week

LOL...this is too rich...pardon the pun, but Sucker Punch got sucker punched by consumers!

First off, almost 200k first is not bad in the slightest.

Second, this is only the first 2 or 3 days of sales.

"Almost double"

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

err....

150k + 150k = 300k

300k - 185k = 115k

A difference of 35k over 150k would make the prediction  almost double....

I was expecting 200k, but it is okay, word of mouth should mean it continues to sell well

Except in the prediction thread you predicted:

"about 300k first week, over 1m lifetime"

Someone has a short memory.

about 300k first week, over 1m lifetime

So lets nitpick his memory because he was off by 100,000? My God........

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

Who "expected" anything? The guy was 100,000 off, so what? You gonna lynch him for a measely prediction? I'm not seeing the logic here, at all.

I'm not trying to join any mobs here...But the fact remains that Munkeh111 expected 300 k then after the sales came in said he was expecting 200k...I don't know what bone that other guy is trying to pick.....

But Munkeh has now stated two different expectations...one pre and one post game release....

All I wanted to say was you can't have two sets of expectations...

And frankly, it seems those who like to bash PS3 exclusives have a field day in threads such as these. You shouldn't be shocked when people, who own and enjoy the game, aren't concerned with it's sales.

Those who made those high predictions (like 500,000+), which most people didn't (300,000 wasn't unreasonable), are the ones disappointed. Not the folks who own the game, and enjoy it.

The same could be said for those people that go into Xbox threads and say how boring Halo is...

I agree with everything else that you said.....

 



 



holy crap! I'm pretty sure I estimated 175k, I'm going to have to look through my past posts to find out if I did. I was damn close.

I also estimated great legs for it and I think 1.5 million liftime (good for a new IP)

i hope so but wasnt uncharted bundled also?

Yeah but it wasn't mandatory. It was offered as a pick-and-choose with several other games.

I don't think so...


Thanks for proving the point that it wasn't mandatory.



I think 185K is pretty much the average estimate from VGCartzer's. Some predicted 300K, some predicted sub 100K. Most predicted in the 150-200K range.

Doesn't matter the game itself IS the best Free roaming sandbox game to date, above all else.

Quality > All.

I was wondering how far through this thread I'd have to go to find exaggeration.  Not far apparently.

I am about two thirds of the way through Infamous and it is indeed excellent.  But there are better sandboxes.
