I mean coming out in one week and how many people know this game exists? Besides not having any advertisements, and basially not one review out. Not one hardcore gamer or casual gamer has it pre-ordered. So I am just wondering how much will it sell october and november npd. 200k total at best is my prediction.

I have it preordered.

I've been waiting for 2 LONG YEARS for the SECOND RETAIL PS3 Ratchet game, I'm set! :)

As far as reviews, probably A to AA at GS, AAA most other sites, like 2007's 1st PS3 Ratchet game.

No it has a higher chance of AAA than A on gamespot. From what I've seen from the footage, looks to be ratchet strongest game yet by a significant margin. And R&C TOD was weaker than the ps2 versions.

Ratchet has its fanbase, it should sell fine.

It's probably being overshadowed by Uncharted 2.

These games debut low , but always seem to end up sellingover time. Black friday through midJanuary will be when a lot more people pick up the game for gifts and with gift money.

Well since Aaron Thomas is no longer employed here, I think it has a change of scoring an 8.5.

It'll hit AA on most sites I think I never got the appeal of Ratchet, it wasn't something I really liked on my PS2 but I know a lot of people do enjoy it.

Sales reflect the quality of the game.

Good joke.

The real question is: What was unappealing about the Ratchet and Clank games? Ratchet: Deadlocked wasn't as good as the others(even thought it was still a lot of fun), but it wasn't a real R&C game.

If you just look at GS's history with Ratchet, the only AAA was Ratchet The rest have all hit AA and I expect this to be no different.

I'm getting it next week. I don't pre-order PS3 games, because they never sell out (except Demon's Souls). TOD and QFB were awesome. If you like video games, you have to like R&C.

R&C tod is the franchise syndrome. Terrible game that scores high because it is in a strogn franchise. Critics are forced to like this game but don't understand why they don't which mostly is due to hideously formulaic designs that just make it a bad game. This game looks half as formulaic and sterile as R&C TOD. More like Up your arsenal which was my favorite game in the series.

I think the series is good, but I thought it took a dip after Going Commando. Though admittedly, I haven't played ToD yet.

Does that really matter? That wasn't my point anyway. I asked if the games had anything unappealing about them, not whether they got AAA. And, from what I know, all of them are near AAA on gamerankings, except for Ratchet:Deadlocked , which was completely different from all the other Ratchet games. The only thing I could see that would be unappealing is the amount of weapons you have. Some aren't very useful, or aren't really meant to be guns(ie. The infector or w/e it's called), but that could also be a plus to other people.

You say all this, yet never show a specific thing in TOD thatwas bad. I haven't played it, but from the videos i've seen, it's at least as good or better than the other Ratchets.

Quite Frankly, Ratchet doesn't really need great advertisement for sales (at launch), the focuse of Insomniac has never been to rack up as many first week sales possible, then sell nothing ever again. Instead, the Ratchet&Clank games make names for themselves with critical acclaim, and later Sony advertisement. To say Ratchet won't sell well, is like saying any other popular well known franchise new title release won't sell well. The fact that we are even talking about it, shows that everyone has been anticipating a new Ratchet title to release

I keep saying this because the game bored me to death. Nothing about the game was fun for me. Regardless of all the polish and level design. It just wasn't fun at all. Why do I hate halo 3. The same exact reason. The game doesn't feel like it has any heart.

Thank you for reminding me to preorder it, i cant believe its already so close to release, i preordered a bunch of games about a month ago and didnt bother with R&C because of how far off it was... i'll do it now though :)
