Here are my thoughts. But basically they reflect the same as what everyone else as said. In other words, if you throw out the DS games and the pack-in/packaged Wii titles, there is a very short list of games that could exceed the 17M predicted.
List is below.
1. Wii Sports 18.52M
-- YES but pack in in NA and EU
2. Nintendogs 17.35M
-- YES but DS
3. Pokemon Diamond/Pearl 13.65M
-- YES but DS
4. New Super Mario Bros. 13.16M
-- Maybe (also DS) and old and don't know its legs
5. Brain Training 11.69M Maybe (also DS)
-- MAYBE (also DS) also old and don't know its legs
6. More Brain Training 9.85M
-- MAYBE (also DS) also old and don't know its legs
7. Wii Play 9.70M
-- YES but packed wth controller
8. Mario Kart DS 9.45M
-- MAYBE (also DS) also old and don't know its legs
9. Animal Crossing: Wild World 8.90M
-- MAYBE (also DS) also old and don't know its legs
10. Super Mario Galaxy 5.54M
-- MAYBE as it has good legs. SSMB and SMG could compete for top selling non-pack-in/packaged console game of this generation
11. Wii Fit 1.28M
-- DOUBTFUL as cost will limit widespread purchase
12. Mario Kart Wii
-- DOUBTFUL as SSB more popular than Kart
Animal Crossing Wii
-- DOUBTFUL as SSB more popular than AC
Grand Theft Auto IV 360
-- DOUBTFUL as 360 does not have PS2 base and Brawl predicted to sell more than any previous GTA game
Subsequent GTA games for any home system
-- DOUBTFUL as 360 or PS3 does not have PS2 base and Brawl predicted to sell more than any previous GT A game
Halo 3 7.13M
-- DOUBTFUL as game is old and does not have stong legs (will be passed by SMG sometime this summer) and 360 sales have stalled
Gran Turismo 5
-- DOUBTFUL as PS3 does not have PS2 base and Brawl predicted to sell more than any previous Grand Turismo game
Subsequent Brain Training games for DS or Wii
-- MAYBE
Subsequent Nintendogs games for DS or Wii
-- DOUBTFUL
Wii Music
-- DOUBTFUL as cost (keyboard) could limit widespread purchase
Other as-of-yet-unknown Wii brand games
-- HUH?
Other unknown game(s)
-- HUH?

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
