System Sellers

PS3: Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy
360: Bioshock

Greatest Hit

PS3: Uncharted Drakes Fortune
Wii: Super Smash Brothers Brawl
360: Halo 3

Greatest Surprise:
Uncharted Drakes Fortune. I mean, this games looks absolutly exceptional.

Greatest Flop:
Blue Dragon. It's designed to sell to the Japanese, but the Japanese still won't buy it (in huge numbers)

Most Benefited System?
Wii is going to sell millions if the only game that came out this christmas was 'Spud Peeling Advanced', so it won't really benefit.

360 won't benefit hugely as most of the games (well all, barring Blue Dragon) hugely appeals to the Xbox's current user base. Halo has already sold most of it's systems (it was a system seller since the day the 360 launched). Bioshock will appeal to the same kind of gamers that already have their 360s for Halo, and it is also avaliable on PC. tbh, I don't know much about Mass Effect, so I can't comment. PGR3 and Forza has already sold the systems that PGR4 was going to sell.

PS3s lineup could be the most benifiting line up for a console. I think that Uncharted will be an absolutly huge selling game, I just think it could be the PS3s Gears of War. Ratchet and Clank can sell to alot of RandC fans from the previous generation (which will probably be around 1.5 million), these kinds of gamers won't have had much of a reason to pick up a PS3 since before then. Warhawk will sell, but it won't sell systems. UT3 could do OK, it'll sell more than the 360 version, but way less than the PC version. Heavenly Sword is kind of a toss up, a flip of the coin, so I don't really know about that.

I don't know if any of them is going to do surprisingly good or bad (depends on who you ask of course), but Bioshock definitely surprised me with the reviews it got. I thought earlier that it might just break a million, but now it's probably going straight to multi-million seller territory in no time.

The strongest lineup is pretty much tied between the Wii and the Xbox 360, but I believe the Wii's will have a greater impact due to much smaller amount of games available before holiday flood.

4. Bioshock
5. (4--Tied) Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
6. Zach and Wiki
7. Unreal Tournament 3 (PC version though)
8. Blue Dragon
9. Halo 3 (from here on down I don't want, just ordering them how I like them I suppose)
10. RE: UC
11. PGR4
12. Uncharted (nothing against the PS3 but I don't have one and don't plan to get one any time soon so the games on it aren't important to me at the moment)
13. Heavenly Sword
14. Ratchet and Clank
15. Warhawk

Xbox 360 - Only Halo 3
I'm not even a big Halo fan... but you can't hide the fact that MS is putting millions of dollars in its promotion.

Wii - None
Hmm the Wii is 95% sold out.. how the hell are any of these games move more consoles??


PS3 - "Price Cut"
Its the price holding it back, the only system seller Sony has is called "Price Cut" as they demonstrated earlier when the PS3 outsold the 360 even though no AAA have come out.

1. Galaxy, Halo 3, and Heavenly Sword

2. Galaxy, Halo 3, and Uncharted

3. RE:UC

4. Warhawk

5. 360

Way to steal ckmlb's thunder. I love it. This thread is great by the way. We need more like this. By the way only one game matters for me. Mario Kart!!!!

Mario Kart over Z&W in that list, yeah.

When is Mario Kart due?

Early 2008, although it's been rumoured we Europeans would get it in 2007 to compensate for no Brawl until next year.
