While 2011 seems like it will be a weak year for the industry in general, it will be huge for at least some games. Post your predictions on what you think the 15 best selling games will be and what they will sell by the end of the year.
If enough people wish to participate I'll talley up the results so we can see who was most accurate at predicting the games and their sales. Winner gets a virtual pat on the back and the satisfaction of knowing they are the best or should I say luckiest predictors. For the estimates to be fair I will only count the estimates made by November 7th.
15 games is kind of a lot but if I made it only 10, it would have been just call of duty and bundled games. 15 makes it more interesting as the bottom 5 are really anyone's guess. Sorry if anyone else made a thread about this earlier this year, but I couldn't find any, and its more reasonable to make predictions now so there is actually some data that can be used rather then random game guessing, but if you want you are more then welcome to randomly guess!!! Inspired by the other prediction threads that have been made lately.
Here are some helpful hints in helping you make a prediction.
