Duke Nukem Forever expected to sell 1.5-2M units

Analyst Arvind Bhatia with Sterne Agee stated that that he expects Duke Nukem Forever, released this past Tuesday, to sell 1.5-2M units, lifetime. He also revealed that store checks indicated that first day sales of the game in the U.S. were "mediocre."

Take-Two "was conservative in its unit assumptions on Duke Nukem," surmised Bhatia, and that the game is just "a one-off title for Take-Two."

Duke Nukem Forever has received some savage reviews, and has gotten flak for various offensive scenes including a level treating the rape of sobbing women as comedy material. The game did outsell L.A. Noire on day of its release.

Not surp[rising it sold well on release day and with pre-orders trounced "LA Noire" - it's been a long time coming and the anticipation of a great game was high. After reading countless player reviews, and noting a high degree of disappointment (except for those who will enjoy it no matter what), I'd say I'd give it a shot for a fiver.

Personally I doubt I'll pick this up for anything less than a fiver as Hero put it. And even then, I could probably think of a few things better to spend it on.

Project Zomboid comes to mind!

Well I get this game eventually, but only when the price falls a little.
