Research firm, SuperData, has a bold prediction for Guerrilla Games and Sony’s Horizon Zero Dawn: sales numbers will be in and around 6 million by year’s end.
SuperData CEO Joost van Dreunen said Horizon Zero Dawn’s glowing review scores (currently 88 on Metacritic) will mean ‘it will be a favourite among consumers.’ He also stated that Horizon Zero Dawn comes at a ‘key moment’ for SIE as ‘hardware sales have been softening for Sony and the company is increasingly going to rely on successful game releases.’
Van Dreunen predicted between four and six million copies sold in 2017 before going onto claim ‘lifetime sales will likely be around 6-8m, which puts it in the same category as Uncharted 4 and Metal Gear Solid V.’
A bold prediction for a new IP, but the buzz surrounding Horizon Zero Dawn has certainly been something; time will tell how the general public take to Aloy.
Horizon Zero Dawn is out on PlayStation 4 on February 28 in North America, and March 1 in Europe, only on PlayStation 4.
