Are any other PS3 owners excited about this game like I am? I only really took an interest in it in the last few days and after watching the trailer of the in-game play I am very impressed. I grew up on ps2 playing mainly sports and racing games and rarely delved into other genres but with a lack of games for the ps3 and with the quality of the trailer, I am definitely considerring buying this when it comes out. Price-wise, i think we may be close to, if not a little over what it should be taking install base into account but if it gets bundled it could definitely be a big hit.
I suspect much of the reason for lagging price changes on this stock are due to a lack of information. As I understand it, this will change with E3, expect a rise if the content looks good.
i'm surprised the price on this game hasn't gone up, even with the lower sales of the PS3. this game caters directly to the average PS3 owner, i would be willing to bet that come the end of the year, this and GTA have the 2 top selling games out for the PS3 ... the difference? GTA is grossly overpriced right now, but Assassins is still low enough to make a good chunk of money on this stock. ...2 mil plus is my guess. (not to mention its coming out just in time for PS3 console and games holiday sales.
Keep in mind that news about the sales of the system, in this case the PS3 might effect the stock as well. Were Sony, for example to announce a price cut before Assassin's Creed was available for the PS3 I imagine that would help its price a lot.
iggins, yes, news is what moves stocks. In the current situation there is lots of news moving lots of other stocks, which make them much more appealing plays than Assassin's Creed, unless a lot of people change their minds and decise this is severely under or over valued.
I have heard a lot of people out there that will not get a PS3 till the price drops or really good games come out for it. Games that are availble for other cheaper systems are not what they are talking about when they make that statement. Chances are that by the time the PS3 install base is up that many people will have forgotten about assassins creed. Its not even impossible that before there is a huge PS3 install base it will be competing with its own sequel. So the game may have more competition on the 360 but it also a larger base to compete over.
