I'm not sure you can consider a sequel that the most recent game in the series just came out last year a sleeper hit, because there's going to be people who know about it and such. Course I've always considered a sleeper hit a game that does well that no one saw coming, and not necessarily a game that does well that wasn't hyped.

Also, Endless Ocean was released in NA, so it's out everywhere now.

My sleeper hit prediction is probably Boom Blox.

hmm bloom box... I think this has the potential to be a BREAK OUT hit! It really all depends on marketing and is the game turns out to be actually fun.


 It's BOOM BLOX hehe...as in the sound "BOOM" and "blox"...like "blocks."  Too many people get it confused.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Releasing this year, I'd say: Okami Wii, de Blob, Boom Blox, Papaton

Including last year's: Zack & Wiki, Endless Ocean

Not sure about PS3/360 games.

 I think the problem is with trying to decide sleeper hits for the PS3 or 360, particularly the PS3 is that any game recieves so much attention, mainly due to the fact development budgets are higher so they cant afford NOT to market it. I think the biggest sleeper for me over the next few years for the PS3, considering we know next to nothing about it is Heavy Rain.

I was about to say the same thing.

de Blob is another good one. Deca Sports could sell tons too.

 Definately a good choice, is it out this year for sure? I havent heard anything about it in so long, it does sound amazing though.

I think that Resistance 2 already has quite a bit of hype.

I'd go with Saints Row 2, or perhaps Too Human even.
