Analyst: Spore Will Sell 2 Million
September 4th, 2008 Posted in Business, Simulation by Rajiv Ashrafi
EA is positioning Spore to be a big-seller this year, but just how successful will the game be? Colin Sebastian, analyst at Lazard Capital Markets, is the first to try to give it a number: 2 million.
Sebastian’s guess is in tune with EA’s own expectations that the game will be a blockbuster. However, EA is more concerned with making Spore stand as a platform that can be monetized even further, ala The Sims.
Spore will ship September 7 on PC and Mac, alongside a stripped-down version on the DS.
