David Gardner, CEO of Infograms, has said that he expects the upcoming Survival Horror title Alone in the Dark to sell "2-3 million units” across multiple platforms when it launches in June 2008.
Discussing the publishers plans for the year ahead, Gardner told Reuters, "We want to stop losing money," adding, "This management's team number one goal is to get a business plan together that gets us to a break-even level."
The company recently strengthened its executive team with the appointment of Phil Harrison as President, formally head of Sony Computer Entertainment’s Worldwide Studios.
Alone in the Dark is due out on PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox 360 and Wii on June 20, with a PlayStation 3 version following later in the year.

This is not good. The PS3 version is no longer listed on Atari's site under the game. Atari knows that the PS3 version wont sell if released that much later. Anyone who wants the game will buy the cheaper ps2 version instead since there will be a 5 month delay for the PS3 version. I think that by the time the game is released on the other platforms they will cancel the PS3 version. I thought that Harrison would push them to focus on the PS3 version but I guess I was wrong.

I highly doubt even with all the different platforms that this game will sell 2-3 million. Probably almost 1 million at the most.

Multiplatform? Check
Desperate publisher looking to "stop losing money"? Check
Bets hedged on last generation sales? Check
PS3 version a non-important afterthought port? Check.
This game has "SUCK" written all over it. You g'head and waste your money if you want to...
