This game starved Ps4 narrative is weird to me. Back on topic though, I think bloodborne will sell 1.8 million by the end of the year unless bundled.

This really all depends on how starved people are for a new game. The game is reviewing quite well so people might be ready for a "great" next gen game finally.
I have friends with PS4s who never played a souls game and they are going to buy it now after all those crazy high reviews. They're not even real big gamers. I hope we see more people new to the series jump in.

That would explain why my preorder copy never shipped and I had to download it instead.

I'm guessing some surprsingly good numbers. People are getting PS4 for Bloodborne. I think it's a legit system seller.

I think a lot of you guys will be surprised at how well this will sell.

Yea, it'll coast through a million, no sweat.
My uneducated yet optimistic projections put it at 3 million when all is said and done.
Edit:
With that said, it may be my first AAA digital purchase - Its currently sold out on amazon canada and i pray its not for retail..

Some people are grossly overestimating it's potential sales. It's a niche game with an awesome following, but expecting it to sell 2.5x dark souls 2, which was on 3 platforms, is pretty out of touch IMO.

I could see this. Month 1 seems a bit optimistic but still.
Hinges on how real the thirst is for an amazing AAA game that isn't a remaster on the PS4.

Higher rated than the Souls games, the first big critically acclaimed PS4 exclusive, and Sony marketing support - I think in the end that's all going to make up for being on fewer platforms with the result that Bloodborne outsells all of the Souls games.

2 million world wide lifetime sounds right to me.
Not sure what Sony wants. I think it will move hardware though.

Amazon Top VG Seller chart is amusing to look at right now:
#1 - PSN card
#2 - PSN card
#3 - Bloodborne (Amazon sold out, being sold by 3rd party venders)
#4 - PSN card
#5 - Toad Amiibo

Holy shit! My pre-order takes forever to ship. At this rate, I will buy this game at Best Buy instead.

A bunch of people in some other thread were predicting it would do worse than The Order. I don't see how that's possible.

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Yea, so I think my guess is pretty accurate. You don't?
It's a shame it's coming so late in the fiscal tho
Last Time I checked it was not available from Amazon But only from other dealers

4.2M by the end of the year. Believe
I'm thinking this will do 3Mil. globally lifetime. As for the first month in NA I'm expecting in that 350 to 400K range. People love to say this is a niche title but with the advertising Sony is doing and not many other great games on the PS4 right now I see the demand for it. Hey I quit Demon's Souls because I couldn't get past the first boss and I'm buying the collector's edition for this one. LOL!

You never know man, people are desperate for a good exclusive game on the PS4

I wanna know how many has worked in the project. That context alone is very important. A million sales on a small team is a lot considering its exclusivity leaving only the shares between publisher and retail not withstanding the online version.

I don't know but I hope it does really well as that will mean that publishers will take more chances on punishing games like this.

Well, how many PS4s are on the market ATM?
I would imagine a few MILLION copies will sell this week alone, including the pre-sold digital copies.
With the reviews, and the drought of solid AAA budget games at the moment, this one will certainly ring up the registers.

I would assume a similar team size as Dark Souls 1/2(which IIRC was a somewhat larger team)?

Will have to wait until someone checks the credits.
Demon's Souls was 61. Dark Souls was 70ish. Dark Souls 2 was 82. So, I'm guessing <100.

I thought that was just Amazon going through its rotating list of 3rd party market vendors until I added the regular copy of Bloodborne to my cart.
"Usually ships in 2 to 5 weeks" it says.
That's crazy lol. I wouldn't say Sony under shipped but I think with the influx of reviews it pushed people to purchase.
I don't have sales expectations for Bloodborne. As long as the company makes a healthy profit, that's good enough. The rest is message board argument material or a bad excuse for sequelitis.
However, given the game seems to be easier and shorter than the Souls games, is the first noteworthy exclusive on the platform, and is advertised heavily, I'd say it'll be a safe assumption it'll be the highest selling in the series.

I think Amazon completely underestimated how many copies of Bloodborne it would sell.
Not that this has never happened before with Amazon but they're usually pretty good at estimating demand and (if they failed that) restocking really quickly.

ahahaha half way? I'm going with 1/3 just to be safe.

No way it'll beat battlefield hardline.
Yeah. Honestly I don't think it will beat GTA( were heists this month?) or even borderlands
I'll say 300-350 k NPD

im waiting for the 1M milestone announcement in the next couple of days, by the end of the year i could see easily doing 2M-2.5M
To ppl saying look how started ps4 gamers are . I'm on gaf was looking forward to order didn't buy it due to reviews . I have no plans of buying bloodborne until it hits 20 or lower and then I'll think about it . It's just not my type of game and I'm sure it's the same with many others ...

I think Bloodborne is going to sell upward of 2 million copies worldwide. I just think it's way to difficult for it to break into the mainstream.
