Woohoo for the Wii owners.

I think Mario Kart is really far along and Nintendo could release it in 2007 if it devoted more resources to it. But Nintendo feels it wants to leave something for early 2008 so I have a feeling it will be a February release. It depends on when they release the Wiiboard.

System sellers:

1: Only mario galaxy and Halo 3. No system seller for the ps3 this year.

Greatest hits by system:
2: Mario Galaxy, UT 3, Halo 3

Possible surprises:
3: RE:UC , Warhawk, Bioshock

Possible flops:
4: Zack & Wiki, Heavenly sword, Blue dragon

More benefit:
5: Wii

YEAH we brits gna get mario kart earlly... hopefully

MARIO KART FOR Q4 07 FTW!!!

You guys won't be able to prove Wii games as system sellers if the Wii is continuously sold out...

1)
a) Mario Galaxy
b) Ratchet & Clank
c) Halo

2) Same answer as #1

3)
a) RE:UC
b) Heavenly Sword
c) Mass Effect

4)
a) Zack & Wiki
b) Uncharted
c) Blue Dragon

5) 360. (Not the Wii because it will only benefit at this point from more factories -- lineup is important next year.)

1
a. Galaxy
b. dont know maybe HS? i dont see many system pushers unless the game is really good
c. easy as pie.....halo 3

2 same as 1

3
a. dont know maybe brawl or galaxy?
b. HS (dont really know)
c. Hopefully bioshock

4
a Zach and wiki
b. Lair or any other game that could possible have low review
b. Blue dragon, was made for japan and not that appealing to Western audiences (lost odyssey will be the more western rpg)

5 360 With price cut, and hopefully heating issues more dealt with i see games really pushing systems, same could be said of wii, but lets be honost at this point wii doesnt need games to push system so i put 360 on top

ok time for me to post my predictions :)

1) "System sellers"
a) SSB
b) i can't see any true system seller...not negative as you might think though (see N°5)
c) Mass Effect (if it stands up the hype)

2) "hit"
a) SSB
b) Heavenly Sword
c) Halo 3

3) "surprise"
a) Metroid
b) Rachet & Clank
c) Bioshock (it will sell a lot, and it will sell more systems than Halo 3)

4) "won't match expectations"
a) Zack
b) warhawk
c) Halo 3 (it will sell a mad amount of copies and will sell ..but i don't think it will pass Halo or Halo 2, nor it will sell systems..hence the "flop")

5) "system that will benefit most from its fab five"
PS3...not because its lineup is really strong, but because it desperately needs good quality games (like its "fab five")..to me the only real issue that's stopping PS3 from world domination: the brand is strong...they just need to deliver the games. If I were to judge lineup strenght i'd with Wii (that doesn't even need a strong lineup indeed)

6) will post later :)

1) System sellers

wii: SMG

PS3: Heavenly Sword

360: Halo 3

2)greatest hit

wii: SSB

ps3: Heavenly Sword

360: Halo 3

3)greatest surprise

wii: metroid 3 (i think it'll be the top selling metroid game ever)

ps3: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

360: Bioshock (i think this will be a huge seller)

4)greatest flop?

wii: Zack and Wiki: The Quest for Barbaros' Treasure (unfortunatly, like dewys adventure i dont think this will sell as much as it should which is very worrying, will 3rd parties lose interest in the wii if their games keep under performing?)

ps3: warhawk

360: Blue Dragon

5)which system will benefit more from fall/christmas lineup

PS3 because the wii will sell regardless and the 360 software lineup wont attract many more customers who arent into xbox to begin with. Its games to me are still very PC based in their appeal and it lacks the variety of other systems.

Wii-Still on fire and wont stop this Christmas.
PS3-Is doing relatively well in all regions and will sell according to that.
