Considering that inFAMOUS is a pretty large scale game, probably takes a lot of money to develop, and is still exclusive to the PS3, I think that they are very concerned about sales. inFAMOUS seems like a fantastic game, and I just hope a lot of other people do too, because if we support more unique games like this, than that'll show other developers that they can take a risk. So how many copies do you think it'll sell overall worldwide?

prolly 250,000 copies, I am hoping for a 1,500,000 copies to give them an edge in current market.

Completely depends on marketing...sony needs to realize how much sales can improve with some marketing. CoD4, which really was not very hyped months before it's release had spectacular sales because of great marketing and word of mouth...and it's already starting again with modern warfare 2 being shown during the NBA conference games...

really that low?? i think they would be devastated if it sold that bad. even motorstorm pacific rift sold a ton more than that. i think this game is going to be better than most people think.

Add one to whatever number you chose, because this game looks awesome.

Wasn't interested in it before, but now it's a 2009 must have.

Are you talking 1st month??? Or overall all? U.S. or global? First month, they will probably sell in the neighborhood of 300k in the U.S.... Lifetime global sells will likely be 2 million plus...

really? to me it seems like video games sell the majority of their overall sales within the first month. i think that the first month sales will probably be around 600,000 world wide, and ending up at around 1 million. oh yeah and to answer your question, i was pretty much thinking overall all.

Not really sure, wasn't interested in this game until after I saw IGN's video review, color me really freaking impressed, probably will buy it over the summer. I predict a modest amount the first month, but pick up in a month or two after release.

PS3 games tend to have very good legs. Uncharted and LBP have sold over 2 million over time so I can easily see Infamous doing those numbers.

The past few exclusives have all sold a million with not much marketing and promotion behind it, I see inFAMOUS also able to sell a million WW. I mean it has casual appeal, a gamer goes to buy a game for PS3, sees the front cover of inFAMOUS and says "Oh wow this guy has lightning powers! sold!" Majority of casual gamers will do that.

I'm thinking about 500,000 first month, about 1.1 million worldwide. It will probably do as good or better then Killzone 2. After GTA4 and some other good open world games people are starting to notice the. As an open world game id expect a decent amount of replayability/play time, and that is what people are looking for at the moment in a 60$ game. I also see this game being very open to DLC which might swing a few people to buy it, that will effect my purchase also, nothing like spending 10$ for a few more hours of gameplay.

Add one to whatever number you chose, because this game looks awesome.

Wasn't interested in it before, but now it's a 2009 must have.

Even your interested in inFamous now? :P

I'd say 100k in May, 150k in June and over 1.5 mil lifetime.

Well he did say overall worldwide...that can be 3 years from now, but so long as it makes those numbers, it counts. It'll definitely pass the million seller mark. It took Uncharted a while to get to 2 million, because not as many people knew of it, but it made it. Eventually it will get there. Just don't rely on Sony to market it. :(

Exactly what i wanted to say ! Before watching some videos today (cuz of the awsome IGN review) i didnt even know which game was InFamous and which was Prototype ! Infamous looks crazy good, animation are just insane !!! Just compare this to the latest Star Wars game (where you also throw lightning) Infamous wins easy sh*t ! I'm buying this game soon ! (And believe me, i said to myself i need to stop buying cuz i havent finish 1 game i own...)

I'm guessing around 150,000 in the first week, then 600,000 after a year. Just a wild guess.

of course it will. i bet there are at that many preorders at least, but probably more. oh and my guess is over 1.2 million. It'll sell that many copies fairly easily i think...

It's hard to say, depending on how the demo goes over. It looks like a good, solid game to me, but it depends on the market of people who own a PS3. I work at a GameStop and it seems most people who come into my store are only looking at specific titles, which usually revolve around Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, some racing games, or sports, so I don't see it selling well here, though myself and about a handful of others that I know of will pick it up. I would say it'll maybe sell 300,000 or less the first week, but I hope I'm proved wrong in a good way.

I think this game will sell big. I've been really excited about Prototype but from what I've seen lately with inFAMOUS I'm completely hyped about it. In fact, I haven't been this excited about an upcoming game for a long while.

I hope it sells well, because I like to see developers get rewarded when they bring new and exciting ip.instead of bringing sequel after sequel.

Just a random guess, but 600,000
