FYI, VGchartz has this at 1.14 million copies sold. Considering that the site seems to be overestimating a lot of games, this stock could be overvalued at this point.
@mithrilwind, if the PS2 verion of SC2 only sold 1.77 million copies globally, I would be pricing SC4 for Xbox 360 well below that. SC2 was a solid hit, we don't know if that will be the case with SC4 yet so we have to price in some performance risk. We are indeed forecasting pretty high quality given the Metacritic Future (92 right now). Xbox 360 will have no where near the market share of PS2 so we need to deduct more units given that.
I'd think that, with the drought of decent fighting games recently and the timing of it's release in 2008, a lifetime sales total of 2 to 2.5 million shouldn't be too outlandish.
@ixaarii, Ya i saw a bid up there for 100 shares at 400 and I had to do everything i could to get my short margin out of the red as fast as i could so i could be the one to sell him those 100 shares! :p
@Bleezy, now why didn't i think of that??? I saw the huge outrageous price and i went "i'm not buying taht"... and totally forgot about shorting. Congratulations!
