How much will SC2 will make on it's first day out? Estimate

Let's see your estimations.

 

Atleast 50 bucks.

 

One hundred MILLION DOLLARS

*evil pinky*

 

Greater or equal to 50 bucks

 

negative 50 bucks.

 

if im serious, prolly like, 30 million on opening weekend if it opens on a weekend... otherwise... LOL WUT?

 

How much did other video games make on their debuts? Can anyone proffer a site? I had no idea that video games were often measured this way, but I guess it makes sense!

 

Do any of ya think it'll go past Halo 3? =P

 

LOL past Halo 3.....

Halo 3 beat ALL box office records of all time, it sold 140$ MILLION its FIRST DAY, more then any other media outlet in its first day OR weekend.(music, movies, games, etc.) HALO 3 has champed out Tatanic, Star Wars, Harry Pothead, you name halo beat it. I dont think SC2 will get anything close to that for the fact that Halo has such a bigger face base, and console systems always do better publicly then PC platforms.

Im thinking around a 30-50$ million its first day...and thats with pre orders and what not. still a great figure.

 

Make a poll..

I estimate 50-70 million.

 

Hmm....One word.



Korea.

 

i think probably around 50 to 80 million =P

 

30-70 million is my quess

 

60-90 million. It's rare for RTS games to get even that much nowadays.

 

I'm not good at estimating anything so I won't estimate.

 

The game may not make quite as much as we think because everybody with an xbox 360 would be too busy playing halo 3 to care about some new computer game unless it was xbox compatable.

 

yea

korea + sc2 on first day + a little (or a lot) of chinese to go with = roughtly 100 - 125 Mil

 

You could probably expect more people in Korea to buy SC2 than in the US, even though Korea's population is only a fraction compared to the US's, even though Korea's population is almost disproportionately large compared to its land area.

 

I dont think that SC2 is the kind of game that everybody buys on the first day. Halo1/2/3 are more like that. But, for instance; Who buys halo1 Nowadays? No one, but it isn't as old as Starcraft1. Starcraft1 can still be found in shops and malls etc. SC2 will probably sell for several years, instead of being sold out the first day.

 

i think it will sell a little more than TBC, that was 16 million copies on its first day
