Why some are expecting Agent to sell 5 million? Here is the list of games which will likely sell over 5 million LTD.

Modern Warfare

Modern Warfare 2

MGS4

GT5

FFXIII (PS3 version)

FFvXIII

GT5p (Currently @ 4.17 million shipped as of SEP 09)

Ofcourse there are many unnounced games which will sell over 5 million. But by end of 2010 PS3 will have atleast "8" 5 million sellers.

A million is generally a big number, so yes, 5 to 6 million is a big difference. Maybe if it was 500 to 501 million that wouldn't matter so much.

so 6 million makes your game a SUPERHIT?

Goddamn, why being so stubborn?! I think they all get the point that you think this thread isn't necessary and that you think that the first game to reach 6 million units sold on the PS3 isn't noteworthy. They get it, can't you just let it go? Besides, it seems that you're the only one in this thread that thinks this thread isn't necessary, can't you just let them celebrate this milestone? I think the question is not if a first 6 million seller on PS3 is noteworthy, i think the question is why are you making such a big deal out of this?

Anyway, do what you want. Freedom of speech FTW!

If people continue to react to me I'm sure I have the right to reply. All I asked is why this is actually worthy of its own thread. Quite a logical question seeing the OP completely lacks substance. And the most sophisticated reaction I receive is "it’s a nice round number", along with false accusations of hating the PS3 and an attempt to discredit me by pointing towards some thread I started one and a half years ago. And the fact that after 60 posts in this thread nobody actually provided a reason why this is noteworthy only proves why my question is justified. But lets just leave it at that. Don't reply to me and I'll let you celebrate this "great milestone" in peace.

Could happen.

No MGS game has ever broken 6 million. No GTA on a console has failed to break 10 million since 2001.

I don't expect Agent to sell on GTA (combined) levels, of course, and 6 million isn't likely, but it's possible. I say ~3-4 million is more likely, depending on marketing and, of course, quality.

Wow good job PS3, hopefully more to come. It took so long though, its been the first 5 million seller since forever :P

Others to follow: GT5 and MW2 are sure hits. Maybe GoW3 can do it? hopefully   Edit: forgot abt FF13, definite contender

To you this is not a great milestone, to me it also is NOT a great milestone, so in that regard i totally agree with you. BUT, apparently it is a great milestone in the eyes of the writer of the OP, and clearly in the eyes of a lot of others as well. So, who decides what is noteworty and what is not? The answer is: nobody.

The writer of the OP thinks this is noteworthy so he has the right to start a thread about it so people can come in and place a comment if they want to. You on the other hand thinks this is not noteworthy, and i feel the same way, so this thread clearly is not meant for us. What does this tell me? That we should've stayed out of this thread and let the ones who feel this IS noteworthy celebrate the fact that PS3 has it's first 6 million seller.

Fact is that not all people think and feel the same way, or like the same things. So, arguing about the fact that this is or is not a milestone is kind of pointless and therefor unnecessary imo.

CrazzyMan.

The reason no one gave you a reason for this being a milestone is simply that most recognise a ***** when they spot one.

These ***** posters are best ignored.
