The game's exec producer reveals sales target.

Triple-a action titles cost a lot of money to develop, and no one is more aware of this than Medal of Honor executive producer Greg Goodrich.

Speaking to The New York Times, Goodrich revealed that the minimum his game has to sell in order to secure a sequel is three million copies.

EA and Goodrich don't have long to wait to see if the game reaches its target - it'll be in stores across the UK from October 15, 2010.

If they fix the lag when you die as they load your death animation then I may buy the game.

I think it will achieve it over a period of time. Not on the first day or week or month. Probably 6 months maybe a year if they are lucky. Depends if they will support the game like what Bad Company 2 has been given. I liked the multiplayer beta, definitely got some replay value there, and the singleplayer from what I seen so far is looking good. I'm looking forward to the new MoH.

As unimpressed as i am with either Cod or MoH releases for this yr ( Online wise ) the story on MoH looks to be better & just like BFBC2 seems more fun & paced better than the lets see how many rounds i can shoot at enemies so far in the distance my optician wouldn't recommend Cod, with the added bonus of no jam splash if i twist my ankle (brain herniate) ?MoH a rent unless a Mw2 price war ensues & then i'm sold for anything under £30.
If it doesn't sell 5million i'd be more surprised.

Dead Space didnt sell well at first but seems to have been a slow burner when it was reduced to £10 - I do understand Bevan's point.

Dead Space was not a flop!!

Did you not see the reaction at E3 this year for the Preview of Dead Space 2?

We will being seeing a second one then.

Dead Space flopped and they are making another. Just more dribble to advertise their game to me.
Similar to Sony and MS at the mo.

I don't plan on getting this anywhere near release myself but I'm sure 3 million will be easily acheived, especially considering that most FPS fans out there will be buying this as well as Black Ops.

I was a little non-plussed with the beta as well but I aim to try out the single player at some point down the track. At the moment I may still just borrow it from a friend, finish it and give it back. Same as Black Ops.
