Set the bar low?

infamous did almost 250K first week (sold 175K according to NDP) for a new IP thats really good, Prototype will do less in my opinon, it's multiplat and it's a new IP if I'm not mistaken.

So for a new IP thats was hyped and market well, only 175k in the first week is good?

Don't worry I'm sure it'll have good legs, this is a PS3 game after all and not every PS3 owner uses there PS3 for games, so that's why game sales are usually a little low. Also it wasn't hyped that much, it had decent marketing. But just look at all the other new IPs and there first week I'm sure InFamous will be the same and will probably sell close to 3 million:

  First Week WW  LTD Sales
Resistance 242K 3.60 million
Motorstorm 270K 3.50 million
LittleBigPlanet 335K 2.22 million
Uncharted 133K 2.44 million
Heavenly Sword   104K 1.36 million

 

What else would People use their PS3 for?...

To play Blu-ray movies....Why would people get a PS3 and not a 200 dollar Blu-ray player?

For about a year or two the PS3 was the cheapest Blu-ray Player around. It was either pay $1500 for a Blu-ray Player or pay $600 for a PS3 that plays Blu-ray better then anything on the market, not to mention there wasn't any big games out when the PS3 was released. But Now  people and going to be buying the PS3 mostly because of all the huge games coming to it or already is on it. Also a lot of scientist or who ever they are bought the PS3 for The Cell and because the PS3 is basically a extremely cheap supercomputer.

would they not need DEv kits too?

Because it's a PS3...it play games. A $200 Blu ray player can't do that. You get both options with the PS3. I'm sure you realized that

Nope...I got Xbox 360...Once you "Jump In" you never Jump Back

Yes it will.

inFamous > Prototype on all levels, its more like an Assassins Creed rip-off if anything.

it better out sell it or i'll be sad

There are thousands of games out there but very few get commericals. Infamous got a pretty good amount of commercials so it is hyped more than regular games.

Maybe not hyped enough as other blockbusters like Mass effect, halo, gears, "wii" games (i mean wii fit, etc), sports games, etc, but still commercials reach many more people than these game forums. I don't think PS3 versions of Prototype will outsell infamous though, main reason is because it is multi.

well I've sold more copies of inFAMOUS then Prototype on both systems combined just to let you guys know.

heck I've sold more WM+ attachments then Prototype... and its selling poorly.

i played thorugh all of prototype. Def overated.  0 replay value.  I didn't even care to do the 1000 repetive side missions after i beat it.

 

It ended up being one of those games your finding yourself rushing to beat just to get it over with.

 

The difficuly toward the end of the game is just irrating.  It took me 30 min to defeat one boss because id have to run away and get health every 10 seconds.  Just to get hit by someone else while trying to consume somone.  I think i almost threw my controller a few times.

I really hope so, because i like Prototype more than Infamous... i'm only talking about trailers :P
