"impressive" is a relative term

So 3 million wouldn't be impressive?

Prototype could take away a lot of prospective InFamous customers. Could be a slow crawl to 1million.

Exactly its "relative"

If we are talking about Gran Turismo 5........3 Million would be seen as a BOMB

However if we are talking about Infamous......3 Million will be seen as one of the success stories of this gen

Its all relative to the game we are talking about, & no-one expected 3 million from infamous, not even crazzyman!!

Valkyria chronicles doing 500K is AMAZING, but FF13 doing 500K is expected.....not amazing

EDIT: so impressive for infamous would probably be around 1 million

Obviously it is not guaranteed, though I do think it will make it to 1m. Sony really should have advertised in Europe

Meh.. they always do the same advertising in Europe with their big games... BUNDLES!

So yeah.. it will make a million easily..

Is there a PS3 game that was not bundled in Europe?

So Infamous has OUTSOLD the first week's of both R & C (established franchise released in the holidays) & Heavenly Sword (New IP's released in the going back to school season) in such a DRY time for gaming!

Very impressive.....some of you may say....well PS3's userbase is higher, but higher userbase doesn't mean always mean higher sales (Motorstorm 2).

Due to many sandbox games out on PS3, infamous wasn't the "only" one. This probably led to lower sales.

But 1 Million is pretty much CONFIRMED.....congrats SONY!

Those game came out when there was almost no good games on the PS3. Thats why they sold as well as they did.

InFamous will have legs

Gran Turismo has a history of outstanding sales. However, If each Gran Turismo sold 3 million copes it would still be one of the most popular driving games.

Obviously I meant if Infamous sold 3 million it would be considered a big success. If Infamous only sells a million that wouldn't be very impressive considering its a major release from Sony. Ninja Gaiden 2 only sold about a million and it didn't seem people were impressed. Crackdown passed a million and no one seems boast about that. My guess is Infamous will sell 2 million. Its a very respectable amount but not exactly outstanding.

Valkyria Chronicles doing 500K is not amazing to me. In fact it shows me that people no longer have the interest in JRPG like they used to. Even Final Fantasy games have seen a decline in sales since the release of 10. Perhaps FF13 will have impressive sales with 2 consoles combined.

IIRC the Sly Cooper games did not sell very well at all, so this is a huge boost for Sucker Punch.

the Sly Cooper games never cracked 1 million, and rarely (if ever) even came close to 1 million.


InFAMOUS is a Huge success for Sucker Punch and Sony.

Any new IP that crosses 1 million is a success imo.
