Well you have to consider inFamous is probably advertised in every country the PS3 is sold. I believe they even bundled it in Europe. It was a major release for the PS3.

It wouldn't be crazy to assume it atleast had the budget of a game like Left 4 Dead.

Please cite proof validating your "assumption" aka a figure with a link showing sony actully spending as much as left for dead's advert budget.


Speculate - To engage in a course of reasoning often based on inconclusive evidence.

Ahhh or in this case cover for an unsupported argument.

Exactly! I'm not allowed to speculate? This is a forum where people put their thoughts. I don't claim they are fact.

You can speculate, expect to be called on bullshit though.

You're still speculating or making things up, so QED one can speculate or lie or not use facts. carry on then. . .

The way I see it is like this...

VGC poster:Infamous will reach 1m since x game did same or worst in it's time and managed to do 1.5m blah blah blah...

Infamous Hater: No hahahahaaha wont even come close to X games sales ROFL!!!

Couple of months later...

VGC poster: Infamous is now .5 from being 1m seller YAY!!

Infamous hater: well 1m is shitty any ways so....

THE END.

Who said this game wouldn't sell a million? Most of us guessed much higher if anything.

I've read the sales on this website are based on trends and even educated guesses. Which is why numbers are constantly adjusted.

Do you call bullshit on the webmasters as well?



@Boneitis

And you think Infamous is gonna stop @ 1m??? the game hasn't even hit platinum yet or have any bundles so what are you bitchin about 1m dissapointing? Let me guess....after Infamous hits 1.5m it's also disappointing cause you think they spent like 999gazilion advert budget or sumthing.

Seece?  I'm pretty sure he was the very reason this thread was even bumped.

@Bostables: Clam down there bud.  There's a difference between having a civil debate and doing your damndest to throunce your opponent.  It's... well, unnecessary, to say the least.

Vg Chart's webmasters have stated and shown Infamous was in sony's eyes a sales flop? Did VG webmasters state without proof fantasy advertising budgets as part of a rickety argument? No they did not. So really one can conclude that I'm calling bullshit on you.

They're based on quite a bit more than that, my friend.  They extrapolate their figures from actual (albeit limited) sell through data.

Hmmm... you're putting words in my mouth.

I don't know why you guys are getting so angry. Does it bother you I'm not impressed with the sales? I don't think 1m for a game of this caliber is cause for celebration. Especially considering the amount of time its taking to get there.



@ makingmusic476
That's good to know. But sometimes sales can be way off.
