Yes
i think it will debut at ~600.000 WW 1st week, and then have a great holiday season
afterwards, it will have great legs, due to the new userbase that will move to the PS3, due to the wand

so yes, i think it will reach 3 mil after a year or so

I think it'll do better than LBP in numbers, just because it looks to be very accessible and easy to pick up and play....great game to showoff Play, Create, Share

comparing with mario kart is not realistic. mario kart didn't sell that well because it's a kart game. it sold that well because of mario and the wii install base.

modnation may have a lot more features, but it doesn't have mario nor does it have the wii install base. it won't get anywhere near 3 million. 2 million max.

Actually no I am not expecting it to do LBP numbers but I want it to surprised so I am hoping it to be a hit. Imagined what joy it will bring to me. LOL!

you mean like how third party games don't sell?

The game is definitely less hyped than LBP, so it will probably sell less. And it will not have a chance for a GOTY Edition, as there is no way it is going to win GOTY this year.

Two kart games with no mario, with limited collected data.

Mario kart 64 shows up as ~10m, and supermariokart is ~9m.

Kart games have become increasingly popular over time now. 5m first year.

It's also a matter of game quality and platform market.

Modern Warfare 2 proves that there is a massive audience for the FPS genre.

Now look at CoD Wii and The Conduit..........................

I think it will do worse personally. I'm looking forward to the game but I don't foresee it getting as big of a advertising and general push from Sony as LBP did since it was the first in the Play, Create, Share type series.

Two questions when is the released date of this game? Will it released alongside the gem/sphere or whatever?
