Where are you getting these numbers from, are they just USA or worldwide?

if i had to guess, i'd say around 2-2.5 million, total sales, across all platforms, within a year.. Im hoping that is a low guess, but we will see.

Thanks, I'd happily bet that there are a lot more Brink pre-orders in the USA than that, that or you yanks just don't like new things.

Terrible sadly. I pre-ordered at gamestop and they told me they wont do a midnight release because there has been under 20 pre-orders. I live in Austin, Texas. [pretty big city]

...im english too D:

ANYWAYS :3 160,000 is actually quite alot preorder wise, as I pointed out earlier Homefront had only 80,000 and went on to sell over a million

its bound to do well since it's selling on all platforms it will be interesting to see what it sells the most on though.

Oh yeah its a lot, but I just don't think that the number is every pre-order in the USA.

Either way, I must see this. That's actually quite funny. Care to take a picture if you can?

This would be my estimate aswell, and potentialy more depending on reviews.

As for pre-orders being low for ps3.. I would think its obvious why those pre-orders are so low..

Seeing as Brink is second ONLY to Gears 3 (keep in mind how big of a franchise Gears is), I would be surprised if it doesn't sell pretty well.

BRINK is Steam's 7th best seller.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:11 pm

which sais alot considering direct 2 drive is selling it for half the price, If Its high on steam, chances are its even higher on d2d.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:33 pm

it should sell really well on pc. as for console itll prob sell well but might not sell as well as other games like crysis 2 and homefront since its a teambased game and isnt getting alot of publicity.

Interesting thought, but read a little earlier in this forum and you will notice a link to pre-order sales. I did a little compare and contrast. Brink already has more sales than Crysis 2. The real intriguing fact about that? Crysis 2 had around 81,805 for Xbox pre-orders with one week to go; Brink with three weeks to go had 164,720 for Xbox (these pre-order sales are the ones in America only).
P.S. That is more than double the pre-orders for Brink, and there is no game leading up to Brink nor is it well advertised.

Yeah, I bet that ate into a lot of steam sales and I usually order from steam but not this time because I needed 3 copy's makes a big difference. I like others have said the only outside advertising I have seen is from gamestop locally here.
