It's possible, but to reach that number it will need some help from the mainstream gamers. Infamous is a known franchise, rated T, and generally looks more kid-friendly. Bloodborne is a new IP, rated M, and a lot of parents will probably shy away from buying it for their kids.

So what are we thinking? Similar numbers to The Order? No way in hell lol. BB is hyped to the Moon right now and will continue to build for the next week plus. Its already in the top 10 on Amazon before reviews. Im doubling down and saying If it reviews well it'll easily double The Order.

There hasn't really been any super successful new IPs this gen outside of Destiny so far. I'm not even sure what could come along and just explode in popularity like Gears did early last gen.

Watch Dogs did very well,

 

[Nightengale]

250 to 300.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Amazon...are...are you a magician?

 

[allan-bh]

[PS3] God of War 3~ <1million (march2010)

The Order on track to be a stellar franchise confirmed.

Watch_Dogs and Titanfall were pretty successful.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Resistance 3 was so good I still dare to dream. I felt terrible for passing on it for so long because of how much I disliked the second game, R3 is a treasure.

Oh i agree Resistance 3 SP was really good, the MP on the other hand was worse from the previous games.

 

[Kacho]

It seems TV was better than Vita in Feb, what happened?
Tv > 30k, Vita < 30k.

Amazon had that sale, right?

I doubt Amazon had more than a couple hundred to sell, given they sold out so fast.

 

[shwimpy]

MS, we gotta go cheaper. $250 with Tomb Raider and I'll be there day one.

 

[Chobel]

Maybe even less than The Order.

 

[kitchenmotors]

A number to give hope for The Order fans:

[PS2] God of War- ~214k (march 2005)

Except God of War had excellent word of mouth and The Order... well, no need to drag ha anymore. It's embarrassing.

GG new IP, Horizon.

Robo dinosaurs is an instant mega-hit, especially if they release it around Jurassic World launch.

Peak hype.

 

[Welfare]

So comparing January+February 2015 to 2014, the Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U are up YOY.

 

[USC-fan]

[ethomaz]

MS needs the $299 Xbone.

 

[truth411]

According to creams chart, my rough estimates are:

PS4: ~48.5%
XB1: ~38%
WiiU: ~13.5%

Therefore if XB1 is 276k like some are saying, PS4 would be 352k

Wait a sec, where is this 276k coming from for the X1? If the X1 did 151k in January, that would mean 151 x 1.84= 278k. Right?

[Lord Error]

As far as I understand, there are no games designed specifically for the New 3DS that flat-out won't work on the old 3DS, right? So it's similar to say, GB->GBC situation. I'm not 100% on this, so feel free to correct me. If there are indeed N3DS-only games made, then the line definitely gets blurry if it's the same platform or not.

That would be perfect! lol

EDIT: nvm LOL i don't know

 

[Justice_Bolt]

MS needs the $299 Xbone.

With a free game included.
/s

 

[Xenus]

Tv > 30k, Vita < 30k.

Amazon firesale for 50% off including the bundle. Plus bestbuy bundle of a PSTV for free with a PS4

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Im gonna double down and say Bloodborne will atleast do 270K.

 

[QaaQer]

Yeah, at the end of 2005 was at 740k.

God of War is a good game.

That dumb qte-fest? I hated it when I tried to play it last year.

 

[Jigorath]

Is console gaming still dead?

 

[BlackJace]

Goodbye

Vita-chan just keeps surprising.

What the fuck. If you're still lurking Aqua, it was always a pleasure to read your posts. Good luck and take care.

 

[Vena]

It would probably be bigger if it wasn't limited to a handheld. The action games market in the US is on anything but handheld.

But it's Capcpom so yea nothing they ever do really makes any sense.

No, it really wouldn't be smart of Capcom considering the millions of sales they see on the handheld in Japan from this title. This is something that makes A LOT of sense.

Heck, MonHun is built to be mobile.

 

[allan-bh]

Bloodborne could sell less than 200k. It wouldn't be a surprise

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Sony doesn't know what a handheld is. PS4 is the best selling console. 3ds is the best selling gaming device.

I think Sony isn't counting N3DS with the 3DS family. Cause sorry to break to you guys, it's isnt the same. Its iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 here. Nintendo has to call it "3DS" family.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Until Wii U pulls Wii numbers, yes.

Lucky Americans, still sold out in Canada ;_;

 

[Kill3r7]

Watch Dogs and to a certain extent Titanfall.

 

[allan-bh]

Well, it's not a Ninja Gaiden quality, but it's a solid game.

 

[heidern]

If The Order cost $50M - $100M to develop and market and 'only' ends up selling 1M units then that could mean it loses Sony tens of millions of dollars. AAA market is tough.

 

[Kagari]

How did Dragonball do?

 

[KillerMan91]

After that 20.2 million worldwide sell trough number I kinda thought that PS4 did better than people expected in february ( in US).

 

[Purest 78]

I believe The Order did well In EU, thankfully sony does good numbers there.

 

[allan-bh]

How did Dragonball do?

We don't know, except is more than 200k.

 

[Moneal]

How did Dragonball do?

yes would definitely get an idea of its numbers. it did better than the order at least.

 

[Lord Error]

If The Order cost $50M - $100M to develop and market and 'only' ends up selling 1M units then that could mean it loses Sony tens of millions of dollars. AAA market is tough.

That is true. I doubt it cost more than 50M though, no way 100. That team is small by AAA standards.

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

How did Dragonball do?

It didn't turn out like Yamcha, that much is known for sure.

 

[ethomaz]

If The Order cost $50M - $100M to develop and market and 'only' ends up selling 1M units then that could mean it loses Sony tens of millions of dollars. AAA market is tough.

RAD is not that big I guess.

More like $10-20m in my guesses.

 

[Jigorath]

If The Order cost $50M - $100M to develop and market and 'only' ends up selling 1M units then that could mean it loses Sony tens of millions of dollars. AAA market is tough.

Uncharted 2 had a budget of 20m. If Ready at Dawn went anywhere near 100m Sony should stop working with them immediately. That said, I don't think the cost is anywhere near that much.

 

[Purest 78]

If The Order cost $50M - $100M to develop and market and 'only' ends up selling 1M units then that could mean it loses Sony tens of millions of dollars. AAA market is tough.

Where did you get these numbers for production cost?

 

[Zophar]

I'm betting The Order becomes a pack-in sometime this year in lieu of a price drop.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is New 3DS exclusive.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Also how is this good for Nintendo? Is Wii U a lost cause? Going the way of the PSV? Or are they expecting the Amiibo fad to last forever? they'll probably make more money releasing a new Zelda game on handheld then on Wii U.

 

[sturgboski]

She. And read this. It's not worth losing her job over.

Oh man. Wish I saw before the ban. If anyone still direct chats with her tell her thanks for everything and good luck.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Why all the focus on Sony? Looks like everyone had a good month - good for all I'd say. The industry is doing well.

I don't have a Wii U but wish it was doing better but at least Ninty had a good month overall with 3ds sales.

 

[QaaQer]

Well, it's not a Ninja Gaiden quality, but it's a solid game.

It hasn't aged well, IMO of course.
