a better example of worse case scenario in comparison to the potential of Mercs2 might be Assassin's Creed. COD4's "unexpected" boom was pretty expected. and also the extended boom has a lot to do with the multiplayer longevity of it.
- Game poised to surpass "Monster Hunter Freedom 2" -;;; "Monster Hunter Freedom 2G" has become a runaway success thanks to the introduction of exciting new gameplay elements along with the ability to transfer data over from "Monster Hunter Freedom 2". This hot seller has become an instant hit with fans of the series, and also has attracted a wealth of new users eager for this exciting entertainment experience.
@vGInfidel,
I see. To prepare for the worst case scenario (COD4 like unexpected booming), and combined with the fact that this game's release is still a long way from release (as you mentioned), so I am going "slow and high" on this, just like I did with Gears of War 2.
If Buronut should ever get to 160 DKP or above, I will also short them. You should be careful of margin call, especially when you are almost red.
I am losing money on Mario Kart Wii April Short, so for those people who think that I am only shorting X360 games, you have your evidence that what you think is not correct.
@Joe80,
Do you know how much Mercenaries 1 sell WW ? Or if you don't have WW figure, do you have US figure ?
The US figure I have, combined with the fact that Mercenaries 1 on XBOX doesn't even get Silver award from ELSPA, means that Mercenaries 2 will have to sold way, way better than Mercenaries to crack 1.9 Million. In fact, it have to do 300% better (100% of the original + 300% sales # increase = 400% of Mercenaries 1 #) before it can crack 1.9 Million.
@Laoldar,
If it is add-on, not replacing core controller, not all X360 owner will have it. Developers will need to estimate how many % of X360 userbase have the "X360mote" and adjust their sales expectation accordingly.
Off -topic : even my questioning comment get downbid. :(.
Thanks to the Number 1 videogame company of the World, EIDOS. "Classic hack-and-slash '80s game series officially coming to Nintendo's handheld this year.
"So what exactly is Demigod? Whether your top-down gaming preferences lean toward the pointy-clicky Diablo variety or the draw-a-box-then-pointy-clicky WarCraft III flavor, you're covered. That's because half of this game's Demigods (the game's heroes, essentially) cater to the former, and half of them to the latter.Taylor compares the gameplay to Battlefield 2 -- minus the firearms and first-person view."

Yeah I noticed that and thought that was a bit harsh.
