Which Ubisoft deserves after the stunt it pulled with Silent Hunter 4.
The game will only barely pay for the development costs (if only) and if Ubisoft decides the make Silent Hunter 6, it will be of the same quality.
Just my 2 cents

Holy Cow, sir. First of all, you're taking a poorly constructed poll, which only gives the two wildest extremes of behavior as possibilities. Then you're discounting the fact that a very small percentage of readers are even going to respond to the poll who will buy the game.
Finally you're ignoring the stampede behavior of the reluctant herd when the word gets out that SH5 is a fantastic game. If SH5 is a great game that 28% will vanish like an ice cube on a red hot griddle.
There's only one honest poll, and that's the honest poll of the marketplace, where people vote with their money. If SH5 is going to be a great sub simulator, the poll will take care of itself. If it is not, then the poll of the marketplace will be accurate feedback and the 28% might become 50% overnight. Either way, the poll above isn't worth the time to worry about.
I hope SH5 is fabulous and makes you devs rich.
