Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia is predicting that BioShock Infinite, which is due to be released in three weeks on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, will ship 3M units in the last week of March.


These do not include actual sales. Bhatia is stating that based on preorders and retail orders there will be 3M units on the shelves.

“Our recent channel checks have increased our confidence in the potential for success of Take Two’s upcoming title BioShock Infinite. The title has been generating good buzz for some time. With less than three weeks before launch on March 26, we sense growing retailer optimism for this title,” he stated.

This basically means at most there will be 3M launch sales of the game.

That is quite a good start for this game, which means that it has got to be good... or at least expected to be.

I would get the game someday... not the kind of game I want to pre-order.

Looking forward to this one too, I don't have enough time at the moment so I won't be getting it at launch but this is one of the games I'll definitely get to eventually.
Unless we get an unlikely nasty surprise.

3 million people with fingers crossed the launch goes smoothly. Me, I'll be happy to be simply an observer at this stage.
