God of War III - 4 million+
More known now, releasing in the prime of the PS3 lifecycle, more hype than before, no piracy.
Also releasing right after a huge hardware sales boost when new PS3 owners are looking for new games to play. 4 Million is definitely possible

Joke post? Uncharted was nowhere near as bundled as MS and Resistance.... Not only that but almost everyone who played Uncharted liked it unlike PR and Resistance. Now, U2 has been being hyped a lot more than MS:PR...
"GT5 - 6.5 million (The game is not even in the top 40 for pre-orders in NA if this site is correct. Splinter Cell: Conviction is so it being this year or next is a bad excuse. GT Mobile is not either and that is 2 weeks away, poor little bugger. Still expect the game to sell 4 million in EU though and that too with ease, 800k in Japan and 1.7 million in NA.)"
Since when do games without release dates have high pre-orders? Ontop of that why are you basing it off NA's pre-orders?
As of June the Prologue sold 3.93 million
"in 2007 uncharted 1 was one of the very few amazing PS3 games, now everything is different, PS3 has so many great great games"
And it got the least amount of it's sales in '07... what's your point? The reason why it did so well is because of good word of mouth.

Well then, excluding the fact that I couldn't find a source to confirm that, that's not really true. Forza 2 might have come with every pro 360 sold for a short time, but it didn't come with every 360. The sales numbers shows that. So by your definition, it was very much possible to get a 360 without Forza 2, and your example is wrong. You could buy a 360 with Forza 2 or without it. As for Halo 3, it had been a standalone game for a long time before it was bundled with the 360. So basically, neither game fits your definition of a pack-in. And I'd like to actually see some kind of source to back up these definitions. It shouldn't be so hard if they're the correct ones. And that sounded like an insult to me, although you do come from NeoGAF, so that's no surprise. |
"Turn 10's highly customizable racer Forza Motorsport 2 and Raven Software's superhero beat-em-up Marvel: Ultimate Alliance will now come packaged with the standard $349.99 Xbox 360 and $449.99 Xbox 360 Elite, Microsoft announced this morning. Both titles were well received by the gaming populace at the time of their respective releases--the multiplatform Marvel: Ultimate Alliance arrived in fall 2006, whereas the Xbox 360 exclusive Forza Motorsport 2 skidded into stores this spring"

It was both Elite and Pro model and I believe it was WW.
RPG is our retard of the week, GT5 has no official release date so U CANT PRE-ORDER IT FOOL!
Anyways, everyone so far is right about the sales. I just think that a lot of people are making GOWIII's sales too low. This is the only game that all my 360 friends want, and everyone one i have talked to about games say that they only want GOWIII, so Its going to sell around 4.5-5million

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.
Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

No idea how pre-orders work in the America's however here in the UK GT5 has been available for pre-order well over a year. I also checked Gamestop and GT5 is available for pre-order on that website so yeah no idea what you are on about.
ur predictions u made are wayyyyy tooo low
id ad half a million to a million on all ur predctions
FF Versus XIII: 5-6 Million (DarthDevidem R U serious?1.8?yes first week in Japan)
Uncharted 2: 2-3 million (i hope it will do better)
God Of War 3: 2.5 million
Gran Turismo 5: 10 mill + but only if the US are on GT again which i doubt a little but Sony do their best do change that!
R&C Crack In Time: 1.5 - 2 mill
MAG & Heavy Rain is too hard to imagine...maybe this games will see some hype around it...lets see if not then only Infamous sales!

GT5- I agree on that. Don't get used to it. God of War III- I can grudgingly agree to disagree with you on that, because I accept that some people don't have the faith to think it will outsell the original. However, I will say that GoWIII is launching earlier in the generation which gives it more time to sell, it is a more popular franchise now, and has had three iterations, and because of the PS3's lack of quality exclusives when compared to the PS2 (all consoles have a lack of quality exclusives compared to the PS2), GoWIII has more hype. Never underestimate hype. 3.5-4 million Uncharted 2- You mention R2 and Pacific Rift. I will firstly say that R2 was a poor excuse for an FPS, and by far the worst piece of crap Insomniac have ever released. Okay, exaggerating a bit. The point is that it WAS NOT GOOD. RFOM was infinitely better, and fortunately people have some taste and chose to pick up CoD4 and WaW instead. Pacific Rift was pretty good, but to be honest, nobody cared about it. RFOM and MotorStorm were both launch or first few month titles, and early adopters really had no choice. They were the only decent PS3 exclusives until Heavenly Sword and Warhawk, and then to a greater extent, Ratchet and Uncharted, came out. While people may have greatly enjoyed RFOM (I hope they did), word of mouth on R2 would have been awful. And as I've mentioned, far better FPS have come out since then. R2 did nothing but copy them and lose all originality. Ho-hum. As for MotorStorm, people probably thought "okay, cool, this will pass some time" when they bought it, and didn't enjoy it nearly enough to buy a sequel in holiday 2008, when the PS3 actually had a quality lineup (including, Darth, MGS4!). Comparing Uncharted to these two is rather foolish on your part. Firstly, Uncharted was pure concentrated awesome, while RFOM was a slightly flawed, though innovative FPS in a gen FULL of FPS, and MotorStorm was a typical *yawn* offroad racer which wasn't particularly good, really. Uncharted 2 has visibly improved on the original, adding multiplayer, received a LOT of coverage due to the awesomeness it is right now, and the awesomeness of the original, it has won numerous awards, and whereas last year's holiday the PS3 was in a bit of a slump, this year, it's on a ROLL, Sony have learned how to advertise, and a rise in the number of gaymers will cause more people to buy it due to Drake's buns (now with 4 times the polygons!) 3.5-4 million + 1 for Seece. Heavy Rain- I'd like to think it would sell more, but it won't. Sorry, CGI. 700-800k Yakuza 4- Hold on, Yakuza 3 won't release in the West for at least another year, and Yakuza 4 is "upcoming"? Okay... whatever. FF Versus 13- WHAT? It's a Final Fantasy. Main series or not, it won't sell less than 3 million. It could come close to 1.8 million FIRST WEEK (okay not quite). 3.5-4 million Ratchet and Clank ACIT: Similar to Uncharted 2, though to a lesser extent. Sales boost for PS3, huge upgrades over previous iteration, but without the bun boost. I still think you've underpredicted a little. 2-2.25 million. MAG: Have some faith! It has 256 players and...you're probably right. But I'll be nice and optimistic and say 1-1.5 million. The Last Guardian: This should sell 20 million, but it won't. SoTC sold 920k in Japan + NA. No EU numbers. ICO, meanwhile, sold 900k, the majority of which was in EU (Wikipedia). Therefore, the least SoTC should logically have sold is 1.7 million. Maybe as high as 2 million, because Europeans are awesome (this is something we can agree on, I'm sure). Anyway, hype, increased popularity of internet, and Team ICO with it, increased sales, yada, yada, 1.5-2 million. Hopefully more. |
GOW 3 --- puh lease kantor. PS3 is not PS2......it is a weak software selling machine in comparison. America is where GOW is mightitest & america is where PS3 is weakest. I've done it a favor by saying it will outsell GOW 2 in america.
________________
Uncharted 2 --- I am REALLY going to enjoy the crow going around for this game.......3.5 - 4 million......ROFL LMAO
Just because YOU think those games were average/not great doesn't mean everyone thought so. Motrostorm 1 was a great game & AMAZED people who came to play the PS3 at my house so was resistance 1. MANY people found Uncharted 1 not that great too, why do you think I hadn't got it till last week.....because from what I'd hear it wasn't the best PS3 game of 2007 at all.
If Killzone 2......a game hyped since 2005 to hell & back is STRUGGLING to make it past 2 million, I heavily heavily doubt unchared 2.....which is once again a game hyped for grfx a lot is going to make it past the original, let alone nearing MGS4 level sales.
Remember in 2007 PS3 has FEW good games, uncharted 1 was like a big shark in a pool of goldfish ps3 exclusives & multiplats........NOW we had MW2, Assassin's Creed 2, GT5 all coming out back to back.......be assured people will decide to get those games over Uncharted 2 due to brandname alone.
You need to understand that GETTING MORE SALES on the same platform for a sequel of a game released on the same platform is very very difficult, in most cases its historically unprecedented for uncharted 2 to do the sales you are talking about, its looking very foolish kantor.........I have history to back me up, you have high expectations & nothing else.....no other proof.
Uncharted 2's hype is going through the roof on VGC.....so did LBP's......so did kz2's
NONE of those games matched the sales expectations of PS3 fans (including mine).....do not blame me for being bullish, blame PS3 owners who did not buy those games which result in my expectations of PS3 1st party exclusives not called gran turismo going down the hole.
One final thing, uncharted 2 was bundled last holiday, otherwise it would be at around 2.3 million right now.....see its sales chart & look at a sudden spike last holiday.

FF Versus 13 -- Its a FF game? yeh so what.....NO FF SPIN OFF has done 3 million.....nil, zero!
Claiming......ZOMG ZOMG FF GAME HAS TO DO OVER 3 MILLION......is just really stupid
& 1.8 million first week.....my faith in you was completely gone from there......so wait FF Versus 13 will OUTSELL MGS4's first week......yeah right, get real.
Please understand, FF Versus 13 WILL BE SEEN AS A SPIN-OFF by the general public, the poeple who buy games in the west & mostly in Japan too.
They will see FF13 & then FF Versus 13 next to it.....like dirge of cerberus was to FF7, and assume FF Versus 13 is some kind of a spin off.
Please do not overhype this game because in the end because of people like you saying it can do upto 4 million, we PS3 fans yet again get ridiculed for high sales expectations......don't let this happen again!
YET AGAIn.....I have HISTORY of game sales (for gods sake use this websites sales data) to back me up, what do you have, some hope that All PS3 fans will buy FF Versus 13
_____________
R&C:CIT -- Doubt it......even if it deserves too.
_______________
Finally, why are you just picking on my post?
@TT Makaveli
YES I am damn serious, if you expect FF Versus 13 to outsell FF9, FF12......I must ask you, are you serious?
GT 4 "prologue" had sold/shipped about 1.5 mil.
GT 5 "Prologue" sold/shipped about 4 mil.
GT 4 sold about 10 mill. So I'm convinced that GT5 will sell around 13 mil if not more :)
the rest:
FF Versus XIII (5 -- 5.5 mil)
uncharted 2 (3 -- 3.5 mil)
God of War 3 (3 -- 3.5 mil)
R&C ACIT : (1.5 -- 2 mill)
MAG (1 -- 1.5) but if the 256 player works without lag and the gameplay turns out to be good, it might hit 2 mil.
Heavy Rain....... :( it will sell poorly, although I'm very excited for it. 500 k and if we are lucky... 1 mil. (Hope I'm wrong though)
