Homefront To Ship 1.5 Million Units At launch, Says Analyst

On March 15th and 18th, in stores all across the world, THQ will ship 1.5 million units of its shooter, as it tries to contend with the mammoth Call of Duty franchise.

That’s according to analyst Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital, speaking in a note ahead of Homefront’s arrival.

He also said that DICE’s Battlefield 3 had an “early positive read.”

    KZ3 lasted me more then 5 hours.
    im not spending 108 bucks for a game thats going to give me 5 hours of entertainment!
    wont have time to play it either, motorstorm apocalypse is releasing the same day and that will take a dam site longer then 5 hours to finish!
    im really starting to get sick in these piss poor attempts to sell products!
    there should be a new law passed saying if a game can be finished in under 7 hours it can only cost half price.
    50 bucks for a 5 hour game that sounds more then fair to me!
    its too hard to make a long game they say, but watch how quickly their attitude changes when it effects how much they can charge for the game!
    most movies these days are around 30 bucks and last 3 hours with extras like commentary and uncut scenes.
    so 10 bucks per hour for a movie, so 10 bucks per hour for a games more then fair!
