Homefront Is 'Profitable', THQ Expects Lifetime Sales of 3 Million

QUOTE
Today, at the THQ investors call CEO Brian Farrell said that players can “safely assume that [Homefront] is profitable.” The publisher reiterated the break-even point of 2 million units for the title and future big-budget triple-A games from THQ. Farrell said that the game has “crossed the threshold” of profitability and currently has “extremely high” incremental operating margins.

Overall, THQ expects for the game to “trend well in excess of 3 million units” over its total lifetime. In contrast, EA's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has sold 7 million units worldwide and Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold 13.7 million.

THQ noted that the advertising on Homefront was “very, very strong” and contributed to the title's total sales.

it is the multiplayer component which gamers praised it for. COD + BFBC = Battlefield: Call of Duty

Then what should the sales amount be in order to be considered more than nothing?

since its an AAA title and its multiplatform, heck even its preorder on all 3 platform its more than 500k. I m quite surprise this game scored badly, since it MP portion is very good. In consumers eyes, a good MP> good SP.

COD:blops 8 mil in 12 weeks
COD:MW2 2 mil in 2 weeks

He did say "lifetime" sales, which in console speak literally means "First 3 months" laugh.gif

Joking aside that is true though, console titles rarely sell after it's initial release and even then, it's mostly 2nd hand sales.

for the first 3 months, homefront is doing rather well as any other big FPS titles in the market. in addition, theres very light competition for fps in the market since blop last year. Except C2.

i agree with that, most titles will not sell well after the release. thats the reason why THQ decided to release a demo for MP in the coming months.

Ridiculously, THQ decided to slap a $10 for MP portion for any 2nd hand copy. Smart move

Tips for good sales:
1. good marketing - a good release date
2. MP>SP
3. ???
4. Profit

THQ: Homefront Franchise Will Continue

QUOTE
Despite closing down Homefront developer Kaos Studios this week, THQ has confirmed that the shooter will see a follow-up with some "really interesting announcements" in the future.

Talking to news site Eurogamer, THQ core games head Danny Bilson noted that the franchise will be moving forward, with the company learning from the mistakes of the original.

"Everything we learned from Homefront you'll see executed in other games going forward, and including that franchise going forward. We'll have some really interesting announcements in the future about the future of that brand," he explained.

Regarding development of the first title, he said, "It was a tremendous learning experience for us. We learned a lot about managing dedicated servers. We got very ambitious with dedicated servers."

"I put a lot of myself into that effort on that game. I learned a lot. I still think it's creatively a fantastic game, a great place to go. The environmental storytelling is excellent. The marketing was wonderful. That brand resonated with a lot of people emotionally." The future of Homefront series is now down to THQ's Montreal studio.

Despite lower-than-expected review scores that seem tied to a temporary stock dip for THQ, the Kaos-developed Homefront sold an estimated million copies worldwide in its first 10 days on store shelves.

Kaos was always a fail studio. They can have a good multiplayer game but they can do single player for shit.

Nobody plays FPS games for the singleplayer anymore. Majority of people buy and play FPS games for the multiplayer.
