Portal 2 to be one of the biggest selling games of 2011?

Jules April 11, 2011 Software & Gaming

Valve's Portal 2 for PS3 and Xbox 360 is already holding the top two game spots at Amazon, knocking down the very popular Pokemon black and white DS games.

Portal 2 is due to be one of the biggest sellers this year, but the pre order success on Amazon is due to a few reasons. Portal 2 follows in the wake of the massively popular first title which took even Valve by surprise as it outsold many of their higher profile games at the time.

Amazon have cut the pre sale price of Portal 2 on the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 from £49.99 to £32.91 with free delivery if you are an Amazon Prime holder. The PC version is reduced to £24.91 which is actually less than the STEAM store.

KitGuru is confident that this game will sell more than anything else released this month and sales figures are sure to be still high many months later as people jump into the fully 3D massively addictive puzzle world.

KitGuru: Can this be as good as the first one? It is a tall order, but if anyone can do it, Valve can.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

    Even though I have a huge back-log of games to play on Steam before I allow my self to buy any more, I am definitely going to make an exception for this.

    “Cheaper than on Steam”, ah, but you need a premium account and you don’t get a giftable copy of Portal or a twinpack on Amazon!
