To answer simply no it won't fail commercially it will be a success the question then is will it satisfy all the people who buy it.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
im just wondering what is the difference if you buy it on PS3 or PC? Cause there are people out there that just want to sit on their sofas and play a MMO on a big screen tv without moving there PC to the tv.
And for those who say that PS3 players wont (or mostly PS3 players) pay for 15/month
Look at the forums on http://www.dcuosource.com/ there is a ton of people that are starting legions for the PS3

As a previous poster stated chances are this game will do well on the PS3 thanks in part to Batman Arkham Asylum at the least. I for one plan on buying it for my PS3. Obviously I'm an avid mmo player but I still love console games as well but the biggest reason for me buying the PS3 version is the fact that there should be no hardware limitations, my pc is an older machine maybe three or four years old and I don't plan on replacing it unless/until TOR releases so why worry about whether my pc will run this game properly when I can just buy it for the PS3 where the code is the exact same.
Another difference is I believe SOE will have pc players and PS3 players on seperate servers but not sure about this.

yah i was thinking about this too . SOE to me is a money hungry company, and I do see they will annouce with a patch for the servers not to be seperated. but can share the account when they see the population go down or sales decrease for either pc or ps3.
On that note i can also see them saying you have to buy and link the PC or PS3 account to the other. so they can make more money.
only time will tell.

depends on the marketing atm they have like 30 k facebook fans so im guessing at least 50 k people know of the game atm all they need is 50 more to be succesfull in todays mmo numbers
What bothers me about DC Universe so far is... it will be released soon and this video:

Is symbolic of all their PR stuff. Nothing substantial about the gameplay, advancement or game systems at all. Their website http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/en/overview.vm is minimalist at best and ambiguous at worst.
Heh I like Batman and all. But to me, they are not doing much to appeal to MMORPG players. Maybe they just want DC Comic reading Modern Warfare players.
more than likely

yes it will and will be fast
Really depends on your definition of fail. I suspect that the game will launch and get a fair number of subs, probably on par with other hero type games. I'll even guess that it will have more then similar games because of SoE backing it. Since this is a SoE game I'm also gonna bet they support it with updates and frequent changes. It will have money and devs behind it. All in all it will likely be one of the better games out.
But who knows till it launches. I know I'll be at least trying unless the MT includes game changing things like powers and stuff that directly change the game play making people who buy superior to people who don't.

I liked All Points Bulletin, that game was axed. =/
As others have said it depends on your definition of fail. A lot of people think SWG is a failure despite it still being played. To some CoX (City of Heroes/Villains) is a failure because it doesn't have the same numbers it started off with and doesn't have the WoW facture yet it is still going on well into its 6th year.
I hope the game plays well and I can play with my friends who are going to be playing it. Do I care if half the community here doesn't play it? No because I will be playing it and that is all that matters to me in the end. If I enjoy it then I enjoy it doesn't matter if anyone else does.

I'm curious how this one will turn out from all the other super hero/villans games out there. Only two other but still haha.

intrested so im gonna throw some money at it and give it a go like i did the rest, if i like it i will stay and if i dont i will be gone at the end of the first month, but till ToR comes out nothing else really intrests me that includes going back to wow to check cat out.....
Playing: FFXIV
Future: wishing for SWG 2, World of Warcraft Classic
Played: Most current and extinct MMO's - 18 Years in....
Interesting Fact - I own 27 Tarantula's
I won't buy it without trying it, so they best have an open beta soon...
Heres how i go with mmo games; their faction with me stands like this:
Funcom
SOE
EA
All Free to play (P2P eliminates 1/2 the kiddies for whom parents wont pay per month for them to play)
NCSoft (non-ArenaNet)
Square Enix (Will not buy FFXIV, waiting on FFXVIII or something like that)
Blizzard
NCSoft (ArenaNet)
Legend
Red - F... (Screw) me over once, shame on you, shame on me wont happen.
Yellow - Will give their games one last try if they manage to interest me enough
Green - Will still buy from them
lol that's great

It looks pretty decent but I doubt the masses will like it.
I'll agree there. I think it has the potential to be the biggest superhero MMO out. Its highly doubtful it will live up to its potential, but I still believe it will be a great game. Even in the best case scenario though, I see it retaining meager subs in comparison to major mainstream titles. The only real edge this game will have is the PS3 launch, so it could appeal to a broader range of players.
A little over a year ago there was only 1 super hero theme game, City of heroes and it was quiet good. Last year Champion Online was released and it did rather poorly. Now we have DC Universe coming and Super Heroes Squad Online. I think the market is getting saturated with Super Heroes MMO's. Unless these last 2 do brand new stuff we never see before i dont see how they could become succcesful and detrone COH from the top seat.
What info are you wanting to hear about that hasn't been talked about?
"You think this "A" stands for France?" Captain America
Thats exactly the question, isn't it? Many people haven't tried following the game enough to know what they don't know!
Will it exceed WOW in sub numbers, no it won't so it will be a total failure.
Stop worrying about it, if you don't want to buy from SOE, don't. Or wait a few months and see if the game turns out OK before purchasing, that's what I do these days.

CO>>COH, at least champions is fun to play and decent loking.
Apparently stating the truth in my sig is "trolling"
Sig typo fixed thanks to an observant stragen001.
Ok I have played CoH and CO and I do not personally believe CO to be fun to play maybe more decent looking compared to a game that had been out 4+years before CO came out but CO is not as fun to play IMHO as CoH.
