its preorders on this site is high as hell, its preorders at ebgames is high as hell and it has over 90 comments on the preview buzz, could this game be a sleeper hit we didn't expect?

Why do people keep calling this game a 'sleeper' and keep bringing this game up like they've never heard of it.  Its been given major space at each Sony E3, its been on all the sites multiple times with preview videos and its been hyped by people just like all other shooters.

It'll sell just like all the other major shooters out there.  And as long as they sell over a million copies, it'll be a hit.  Since the game has so much hype, they'll sell well over a million.

Last time I checked...Gamestop doesn't do promos for "sleepers".  I think it's part of a lowering of expectation to a point so low, in which nearly any level of performance is deemed a success.

a game doesn't need to sell an "x" amount of copies to be a hit.

a game just needs to sell an "x" amount just to make a decent/good profit.

and 1 million copies, isn't always the definition of "hit" or not a hit...

WHat does gamestop have to do with it?  I mentioned SONY has been hyping the game.  And for over 2 years.  If you're going to call this a 'sleepr' title, that just means you were asleep.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

We seem to agree...people need to stop trying to treat MAG as if it's a "sleeper" title.

SONY will need to Advertise the sh*t out of this game, and very much in NA
all they would need is 1 reviewer to say 'better then COD' and put that in the AD, people will go mad

hope its good

MAG pre orders are amazing still cant belive it has higher pre orders compared to established franchise like Splinter cell,ME 2,GT 5 etc. I dont know if it will be a hit but its looking to have a healthy launch.

Coming up it never really mattered what console it was on
If it was a hit and was good that's all it was
And the reviews were like a games source of life
8.5 and 9 at gamespot was like the best!
but now it's like the least you get
8.0 and less it;s just a piece of crap
9.5 or 10 means you are GTA IV Metal Gear Solid or microsofts money
No more reviews for games credibility those days are gone

Eminem - Benzino diss?

 

haha good work on that one
