Lol TLOU sold over 6 million

This is exactly why I wrote that big Pachter disclamer before I released his hardware NPD predictions.
Pacther expected Xbox One to sell 400k in the US in January. The actual sales were ~150k.
Applying the same logic to the thread title, it means 1.875 million by year's end for The Order 1886.
Although OP should have gone with the even more outrageous number: "10-12 Million If Sony Opts For A PS4 Bundle"

It's a well marketed, pretty game where you shoot big guns. It'll sell well.
How is that an apt comparison? Did it sell that on the PS4 alone?
Freedom = $1.05

Before the end of the year? Sure. It'll easily hit 5 million once it's heavily discounted. People will be more willing to jump in at $20-30 than $60 and this game isn't going to hold $60 for long given what it is: a single player game with no online hooks to keep people from trading in their copy of the game.
Course it will, it's a flashy shooty bang bang game which will have decent marketing behind it. Bloodborne is much more niche.

World-wide? Hmm... I think that's possible, if a bit unlikely. I'm thinking 3m ww by year's end if it gets good reviews and word of mouth.
Perhaps another million next year if the game gets good DLC/post-launch support.

Very different scenario. Watch_Dogs launched on every platform under the sun, heavily marketed as a next-gen game, Ubisoft game with the word of mouth (for better or worse) that carries, etc. Or were those 4m just on PS4? I don't think that's the case.
I have no doubt in my mind it'll sell well. Unless it gets below a 70 MC rating, it has a lot of potential for long term sales. It has that style and gameplay that screams mass adoption, just like many other shooters.
Here's hoping The Order becomes a solid framework for vastly improved sequels.

Ok, bad example. Killzone Shadow Fall sold 2.1 million within a few months, and that was before the big install base.

Didn't TLOU sell over 6 on PS3 only?
anyway, Patcher is crazy...
The Order will do 2-3 million. Then holiday bundle might add to that.
Still a bad example, even if I do think The Order can reach 2 million. Although not massively popular, Killzone is a known entity and it benefitted from being a go to game for early adopters.

Well, I hope so!
We need more "The Order" games

Watch Dogs was multi-platform and the viral marketing was huge. The Order has none of these things.

Some other Pachter predictions:
He predicted that we were in the last generation of consoles, before the Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One were announced. He predicted Kinect was unlikely to sell for more than $80. He promisedGrand Theft Auto V would arrive by 2010, then by 2011, then by 2012.

Well, that's the kiss of death if ever there was one.
In all seriousness, it'll do well, but not that well. 2.5 million sold by the end of the year is my guess.

Thing is, whatever comes from the games potential downsides, whether you believe there are or not, this game is a graphical powerhouse and when people get a glimpse of it in action it will drive sales. Everyone wants that game that really shows off their new console and this most definitely is it.
From what I've heard of preorders it should get off to a good start at least. If the game is competent and entertaining enough I don't see it doing badly at all, remember most of the super concerned folk on here don't count for much, they're probably not buying the game, or don't even have a PS4, and are just trolling for the lols and console warring nonsense. The general public will just see a stunning looking game with a level of polish and story above what's come before and will want to play it. I mean, the setting is irresistible!

dafuq did i just read 10-12 mill .... i though the 5 mill was idiotic till i read the other part...
realistically 2 mill. tlou did 6 mill on a frigging 75 million install base with rave reviews. this is going to be a divisive game on a 20 mill install base. 1.7-2.5 mill by year end . (5 if bundled)
are you sure? have you seen the playthoughs or played the game yourself. the other two are true tho this game is insane graphics wise and very polished. And yes it has already been pre ordering very strongly.

So I can probably get a code for the digital version for $30 or maybe even $20 by the end of the year?

I would put it at roughly two millions worldwide by year's end, if I were to make an optimistic guess.
That doesn't prove your point either way. Killzone shadowfall was one of the only non-broken multiplayer games around at the time, so it would probably sell more than The Order if it was released now.
Watch_Dogs was a better comparison, but you'd have to figure out how much it sold on PS4 alone.

No way this doesn't make it to 1 million.

I can see it being a future bundled game, so it will do well.
You are implying people play Killzone Shadowfall's multiplayer...

Not when sites like GameSpot are ready to kill it with the review score over the embargo.
It was bundled with PS4s though. How did Driveclub or Infamous SS sell?
