I have always tried to explain to people that video games aren’t only toys for kids. I usually ask them what the biggest single day or weekend hits in entertainment history are and Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty never make it out in the responses. Imagine Harry Potter movie and book on opening weekend. Better yet Imagine Twilight. A big games launch can crush it. A half of a billion dollars in a few days is not out of the question for a major game franchise to pull in. Over $100 million in pre-sales more than a month before it even gets to the store isn’t crazy. Now, why is this hard for some people to grasp? Because only in this decade has that possibility had a chance. A few years ago is was almost laughable. It just takes time.

The other end of this is that gamers (and especially game bloggers) start to think that a game selling 100k or 200k units means it is a failure. They set values based on what the big games have done and not on what is expected in sales by the game alone. 1 million units of a PC game is still a massive (and rare) achievement and many people just throw a WOW comparison in there to make waves. When you see this, know that whatever quasi-journalist wrote it, knows shit about this industry and that they are probably just a literate fanboy with a soapbox. That doesn’t make them right. These same dickholes never make a bleep about sales projections themselves and never ever blog when past ones are dead on, but they can’t shut the fuck up when a past projection is off.
