next game?

[Cranky Old Man]

Is there a way to determine if the sales are good?

A little outdated, but maybe give that one a read if you haven't already.

You can easily see how the salesfigures depend on the previous title Frictional Games were associated with:

Amnesia: 20,000
A machine for pigs: 120,000
SOMA: 92,000

Penumbra gained them 20,000 super-eager fans.
Amnesia gained them another 100,000 super-eager fans.
Then fans confused A Machine For Pigs with Amnesia 2, so there was a LOSS of 28,000 super-eager fans, and so on.
You often can't tell if you should buy a game until you've bought it.
