I have been shorting this game for a long time now, at the current price of 370DKP I feel it is quite overpriced. Even though this series has garnered a near legendary name (or so the media likes to constantly perpetrate), I do not feel that it has the selling power of Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, or Elder Scrolls. This game is being released in a period when many other RPGs are being developed and companies have had enough time to make mature games for the Xbox360, hardly the same could be said when Elder Scrolls IV was released years ago.
Not only that, but this game is being released on all three platforms, which would certainly take sales away from the Xbox360 version. DLC does not mean that a game will automatically sell a boat load more copies, many people do not even follow this news and many more would not be willing to pay the fee (if there is one) for future downloadable content, especially when by the time it is released, they will have moved on to another game.
Furthermore, the PS3 now has the trophy system in place, which should only mature and caused more people to buy PS3 games for the trophies as they now do for Achievements on the Xbox360.
At most I see this game selling 3 million on the Xbox360, it seems that the exchange is starting to overvalued many Xbox360 games, especially RPGs (including Fable).
