RE: Kane and Lynch sells over 1 million copies at retail@apujanata, what's the reasoning behind 1 million for remainder of life? Isn't the general rule a game makes 2/3 of its sales in the first 2 months? That would mean there's a remainder of 500k copies.
At 1.5 million units, and given the 60% allotment you assume, the 360 version should be at 900k copies.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 159 ]bids

I believe that the price needed to go up a bit when I posted my other comment also, but I wanted to make sure that people remembered that it was not all on one platform.
Also, an implementation of being able to edit or delete posted comments probably would not be the best thing as people could just delete their comments or what not if they wanted to take back some statement they said and would interfere with the discussions taking place on the SE.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

Yes, it is true that at this moment, the stock LTD is not 1 million yet. But since we are doing GLS (Global Lifetime Sales), this one should be 1 Million or more.
Reason :
1 Million for 2 months, which means at least another 1 Million for the remaining life. Hence, 2 Million GLS.
Since it is on 3 platform, and it is not a main PC series (IIRC), then the breakdown could be like this :
60% X360 (high H/W LTD)
30% PS3 (low H/W LTD)
10% PC (since PC gaming are plagued with pirate)
With 60% of 2 Million, it should be 1.2 Million, higher than the 1 Million I predicted.
Even if you think that the GLS is only 1.5 Million (50% from current LTD), it still bring the figure to 900K, which is significantly higher than the current 660K price.
SimExchange really should implement a way to delete or edit the posted comment. :D[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Kane & Lynch ---- PC (guessing less than 100k)
TOTAL: 1.06 million [not including PC]

I didn't remember this was listed on the SE, otherwise I would've bought shares earlier. 360 version likely selling at least 55% more than the PS3 version is so this is undervalued.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

Do not forget the fact that the story does not clarify on what platform these sales were on and therefore are most likely a comination of all platforms that this title was released on (PS3, 360, and PC). So, there is no reason for this stock to have to be predicting at least 1 million copies sold.
Also, to answer your question from your other comment, at this time there is no way to delete a comment that you made in the past.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

Sorry, just noticed that I see this news less than one hour since posting. Probably most people hadn't seen it yet.
Is there anyway to delete the comment we made in the past ?[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Type of game :
- No leg : First 2 month = 2/3 of GLS (LTD)
- Some leg : First 2 month = 1/2 of GLS
- Real leg : First 2 month = 1/3 or even 1/4 of GLS
Example of real leg : Super Mario Sunshine.
As standard, I usually consider game as "some leg", unless there is a reason to consider them as the other category (can be based on track record of previous game in a series, can be based on same type of game, or different game on the same platform).
Because this is on X360, and because of the controversy around this game (free publicity), I consider this as "some leg".
