How many copies will 2k sale now?

With the recent news of the delay of NBA Elite what will the sales figures for NBA @k11 look like? Sure Elite was not really a competition for 2k11, but with it on the shelf next to 2k11 it was sure to pick up a few sales either from "fan boys" or just people not looking for a basketball experience( we all know 2k11 will sell out in some spots)... But my real question is what is stopping this run away train from crashing and maybe reaching Halo type numbers? As the only sim basketball title in stores this year will it break records? Will it become a reason for the NBA to just sell out and go exclusive? maybe all these answers are yes. We will not know the answers to some of these questions until next year but I predict sale numbers nearing Halo or Modern Warfare 2, we will see it comes out in a week.

The numbers will rise dramatically from last year by the millions, but nowhere near Halo or CoD.

yeah the fps fan base is wwaaayyyyyyyyy more then the sports fan base but I think 2k will see some record numbers for them.

in Feb. of this year 2k10 reached 2 million copies (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/03/nb...n-sales/)world wide and that was with a very good live.... now that EA has stepped aside for 2011 I believe 2k11 will add another million to that number......also what will increase the sales are going to be positive (I think) reviews.

With MJ on the cover and fans fiending for Jordan in a basketball game since NBA Street Vol.2(Classic), I dunno how any basketball fan with a console wont buy this game.

I hope it does reach Halo numbers. I get bored of that game after a while. I like sports games in general because they are more realistic. I will be buying my first NBA game in a long time, and if it was the other way around, I would be buying NBA elite.

So would I game4fun...only difference is it wouldn't be a 1st day buy like 2k11(this is coming from a 2ksupporter) also if it does reach Halo numbers would it start to receive the same type budget as a Halo or GTA?(maybe not for a yearly release)

I am not sure it will reach the Halo numbers (though that would be awesome) they will though get a good number.

I truley beleive that alot of the NBA Live/Elite fans will convert to NBA 2k permanently. I've always felt like NBA 2k was better and NBA Live has had fans just b/c they are loyal.. they continued to buy the game. Now they have no choice to play 2k and now once they get a taste... they won't let go.
