Will Spider-man sell more than Transformers?

[NutsAboutPS3]

I would expect Spiderman 3 to blitz Transformers, but I'm seeing it from a UK perspective, and I can believe the two movies are perceived very differently in the US. Over here, not one single person has ever mentioned Transformers to me, I wouldn't have known the movie existed if it weren't for this forum. On the other hand nearly everyone I know has seen all the Spiderman movies at the cinema.

At least that is a good sign for global BLU dominance

Yes, and the other thing, Woolworths here is a fairly major high street retailer, but the stores I've looked in have never sold any high def titles up till now, only DVD. BUT, they had Blu-ray Spiderman 3 and the Trilogy Box Set on the shelves on release day. I think that says something about how massive Woolworths sees the Spiderman franchise as, they're the only high def titles they carry.

lets just wait a week and see. I bet spider-man sales come close if not surpass transformers. Why is everyone freaking out about the sales of transformers when blu-ray has dominated every single week of sales since the ps3 made its debut

Looking back, Casino Royale sold 100,000 on day one all the way back in March, just 4 months after PS3 launch.

Now 7 months later with big PS3 and stand alone price cuts I don't think it's out of the realms of possibility why Sony can't push 500,000 box sets onto retailers for the US alone.

In fact if Paramount issues the 190,000 Transformer sales as world wide sales, could Sony pull 1,000,000 world wide Spiderman sales out of the bag?

Casino Royale did not sell 100,000 in a single day. What happened was that Sony shipped 100,000 to the retailers. Then took advantage of that number. They did sell a lot though, I don't know how many were sold.

I think 'The Simpsons' will be the biggest seller this year, followed by a close POC3 & Spider-man, then Cars.

YES, it will!

I would say "yes", but we'll not see a 2:1 moral victory in sales.
