Interesting, ever since the topic creator had a disagreement with me, he's been on a rant against HEAVY RAIN.....go figure....

Either way, the game could sell just ONE copy (that of course being at mine ) and I'd be fine. I'm going to enjoy the game regardless. That's what it's all about

A funny observation though, for a guy with the name: MrNathanDrake, you sure post a lot of negativity towards Sony....

We are at a sales forum, so you can expect threads about sales.

 

Where have I been on a rant against heavy Rain? I actually gave kudos to the game and praised it, but I also said it just isn't going to be a big seller. That's honesty.

 

Post a lot of negativity towards Sony? Sorry, I love my PS3. But I'm not blind and I call a spade a spade. When they messed up the firmware, I was being honest about it.

 

 

 

 

Never said it was a problem. I've just made an observation about you, I'm calling it as I see it...

 

No need to go off topic. This thread isn't about ME, it's about Heavy Rain sales.

I'd say over a million seeing as how you don't really have to be a gamer to play this.

Yeah, but how many non-core people own a PS3 and then how many of those buy games for their PS3 and finally how many of those will know about this game?

Flop is the wrong word but I don't think it will sell a million and it definitely won't make money.

Which begs the question, was it all worth it?

If it's a good game, could be for the studio that made it at least.  If it turns out well they won't have their most recent game as a huge seller but their most recent will be a good game which means more publishers will want to talk to them.

Exactly.

 

It won't make money and it won't sell systems. What was the point of Sony buying it out as an exclusive and aiding in development costs?

I have a feeling this will end up being like Shenmue.

You mean it will be the greatest game of all time?


I actually meant sales wise. But yeah, the game has a lot of potential in being the greatest game of this gen.

Hey, I don't think it'll sell very well either. Under a million.

I predict that Heavy Rain is going to be the first PS3 exclusive to sell five million or more in its lifetime.

Furthermore I predict that Halo 3: ODST will sell more than 10m and NSMB Wii will sell less than 10m copies. Also, Gran Turismo PSP will become the most successful title of the GT franchise and Scribblenauts will surpass the entire lifetimes sales of Ubisoft's Imagine series.

I cosign what Rol said.

I think word of mouth will give this game great legs even if initial sales aren't amazing. I'm getting it first day, and will probably be harassing all my friends to try it.

Well gues they have to do a lot of marketing to have a big sell out though.
