HellFire-BahamuPosted 1/23/2013 11:50:26 AM | I'm not expecting balls-off-the-wall PC sales, but I'm expecting the US sales to atleast be over 500,000. Not sure if pessimistic or optimistic, but I'm expecting atleast decent sales.

KA_ME_HA_ME_HAPosted 1/23/2013 11:52:36 AM | After seeing the sales from the rest of the world so far... I think my prediction was off. I said it would reach 1.2 million sales, but it looks like it will struggle just to break a million. There's literally no chance of it hitting the 2 million Capcom wanted.

It's the benchmark, if a game reached it then it was a success. Most of the time. Games with ridiculously high production costs have to sell a little more then that. But for a typical game with typical costs like DmC? A million is a profit. --- They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour-One of the dumbest sentences ever. |

NT used a lot of expensive things to make this game, including the same mocap studio from Avatar. That's not cheap, Capcom needed this game to reach the 2 million they wanted. If and when it doesn't, they will consider it a failure. --- [INSERT SIGNATURE HERE] |

Rising_shadowPosted 1/23/2013 12:10:16 PM | Profit does not equal success. A game needs to do more than break even to be successful. A million units isn't that much. The projected sales were 2 million for the first week. That's not to say that's the breaking even point but that's the projected sales needed for a real success on the Capcom scale.
