You have to think it will probably have good legs, and do well over the holidays.

I can't afford it right now, but eventually I'm getting it since I loved Tools.

i got this game its really fun while playing with my friends :D haha i love the humor and animations u guys shud get it :D it deserves sales haha

It's week 1 sales are better then Tools of Destruction....

Which ended up doing 1.6 Million.

I forget... was Tools bundled?

If not i don't see why it couldn't also hit 1.6 million.

Ratchet and Clank games had great legs in the past.
Tools had weak sales but then it went up alot.
