Seems about right unless we consider Nintendo for March.  Little game called Pokemon Heartgold/SoulSilver releasing in the 14th.  Might be somewhat of a success haha.

Oh but I see this is a Sony versus MS thing but still pointing it out.  I chose ME2 for obvious reasons.

ME2 will rape MAG. ME2 gonna outsell Killzone 2 and that had a lot of more hype and advertising than MAG.

So ME2 > KZ2 >>> MAG.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

MAG, very loyal fanbase (SOCOM)



Currently playing: MAG, Heavy Rain, Infamous

 

Getting Plat trophies for: Heavy Rain, Infamous, RE5,  Burnout and GOW collection once I get it.

How is the NA boxart fucked up? It looks pretty good to me...
Obviously ME2 is going to have a better opening weekend as it is an established franchise on a much larger user base(japanese user base is irrelevant for MAG). But lifetime I think it will be close. I'm not going to make a prediction as it could be two years from now before hte dust finally settles and by then this will all be forgotten.

The Japanese fanbase is irrelevant for most things western. Both M.A.G. and Mass Effect 2 shall meet their resistance. I am all for Mass Effect 2 though.


but not missing Japan for 360 isnt half as relevant considering ps3 practically has 3.5 million more...

What the hell are you talking about? Did you read what I wrote? Those are western made games. Only a few Japanese will purchase them. The majority will resist PS3 or not.

If it doesn't take part thats lame. The Wii is just as much as a console as the PS3 and 360 is. I don't see why everyone is so hell bent in Sony vs Microsoft when Nintendo has their own games.

But anyways I'm not going to pretend the Wii doesn't exist thats up to you guys to decide. Let me know if another choice gets added I'll select the Wii one (either look good right now).

The Wii is not just as much of a console as the HD Twins. They are HD, the Wii is last gen with new gen peripherals. When comparing game the Wii is on its own and cannot be compared. It's in it's own world for short and the majority of casuals like that. Can't blame them really.



seriously mass effect 2, no contest. MAG is a question mark, it might do well, it might not. But ME2 is guaranteed accolades. Just wait It's a proven franchise.

stage do you have logic?



ME2 will have a bigger opening by nature. Its a RPG. After that the sales will drop drastically, as all RPG sales do. MAG will have longer legs, although I doubt it'll outsell ME2 lifetime, even thus.

Off topic, MAG could be a DLC monster for Sony in the future. I would wager that MAG, as a money making platform, will make more money than ME2 ever will.

No online-only game has ever sold much more than 1M (look at Warhawk, the latest SOCOM, etc.), so if MAG sells 2M, that'll qualify as a landslide success, especially if it has word-of-mouth and DLC legs.  ME2 would have to beat ME1 to qualify as a major success, in my book. I think that's possible, but usually sequels have bigger openers, and lesser legs, than their predecessors, and the earlier games end up on top, lifetime.

These two games are in radically different genres.  Their sales profiles will be similarly different.  Its not easy to compare them, except in obscure ways -- sequels to smash RPGs have bigger openers than online-only shooters, and that's pretty much all there is to go on.  Kinda pointless to compare them in that way, since financially, their models are also much different.



 

I think the real reason NMH2 is not represented is that.. It's not a sales powerhouse, lol.

Stop hyping your little game like it can match the power of these two.
