Haha when did I agree to that? Not that I object but... I never granted you internet forum power of attorney!

is it being released on PC, PS4, and xbox 1 all at the same time? cause if that's the case, then yes, it will definitely sell over 2mil. if it's just PC, i don't think it will hit 2 million in just one week.

I have heard that the console versions will be launched in the fall of 2014 along side the F2P conversion already being built as we speak.
But...
I wouldn't be surprised with how shitty the game is that they hurry up the 2 console versions, switch it to F2P earlier, to sell more boxes to make a profit and say to hell with it.
Otherwise word of mouth about the PC version not really being a sequel to Skyrim will spread down to the casual market and will impact their console sales.
Either way, they are not going to be ethical about it, and will completely fuck over the consumer base to make back whatever they can by duping the masses.
Ita going sell boxes prob 2 to 3 mil easy. But subs post the first month? 500k and under down to 100k under three month in. Then a miracle pvp patch bring it back to 500k for a week then down the shitter again

I'm hearing great things about this. You guys won't believe your eyes when you see what's in store. The beta is just that, a beta. They have plenty of time to fix things PLUS what they haven't even unveiled yet. I know I can't wait.

Wait you left out its running in extreme debug mode , and that when it's released it will push 60fps on Pentium Pro's due to the awesome optimization they aren't showing yet.

If Blizzard can take Cleveland Steamer over a box and slap Diablo 3 on it and turn it into the best selling game, then I am sure TESO will be able to pull off at least a few box sales. Then it will fade into obscurity like
Asheron's Call
Anarchy Online
Dark Age of Camelot
Dungeons & Dragons Online
Vanguard
Age of Conan
Warhammer Online
Aion
The Matrix Online
Tabula Rasa
Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars: The Old Republic
City of Heros
and on and on and fucking on.
Fact is 95% of MMO's suck massive donkey cock, either due to shitty corporate dick weasels or coked up developers or rushing it out before it's ready. Seems like they forget the first and most important thing above all over shit is making a smooth responsive game that's actually fun to play. That shit trumps all the other retarded bullshit these companies seem to care or worry about.

I guess it is somewhat subjective and maybe you could consider some of the list to be good games, but the overall point still remains. There is a huge list of what many would consider to be failed MMO's, I tried to pick a few of the ones that most would at least be familiar with.
And Jesus fuck, don't go pulling the WOW numbers shit. A game doesn't need millions of subs in order to be successful in fact I would rather MMO's focus more on a niche market, and try to maintain a few hundred thousand, and be good at what it does. I don't want a game to try and appeal to every fucking person in the world and in turn have to dumb it down to +gooder and pokemon like WOW does.
I also don't want a bland sack of shit like TESO either. You know as well as I what people really would like from this game is an MMO Skyrim not what it is.

Don't see how anyone could consider the original Asheron's Call a failed MMO...
Anyone who considers DAoC a failed MMO is full blown retarded. Considering its age it was a success for its time. It might be a ghost town now, but by that thinking EQ is also a failed MMO, and before long WoW will be a failed MMO as well. Plenty of stinkers on that list, but DAoC isn't one of them heh.
