How is PSP God of War going to sell 10 million when PS2 God of War barely sold over 3 million? God of War 2 is only at 1.8 million. So the PSP version is going to sell over triple the PS2 version with 1/4 the user base?

I remember I got nintendogs because of its graphics. The game was complete $hit. Hopefully my dog is dead. I havent fed him for 2 years.

I expect GTA 4 to sell 10 million+

I do also expect MGS4 to sell 5 million+

And expect killzone 2(if it delievers) to sell 5 million+

I really see no point for Nintendo to release a Wii Sports 2. There will be plenty of games like Mario&Sonic, EA Playground and Deca Sports serving the people who loved Wii Sports and want more games of that type. Instead, Nintendo should focus on inventing radically new games like Wii Fit.

Well done leo-j, it's as if you read the entire thread carefully and considered it before you posted.

@Erik, that's probably why Nintendo have no plans to release it, though i would definately buy it if they did.

Leo-j and SNESboy, you both bought Nintendogs for the graphics, and then hated the game...??? If you buy games just for graphics, even if the gameplay doesn't interest you, then you get what you deserve.

no one thinks any PSP games have a chance? the PSP already has 20+ million units out there, a recent price cut, a recent redesign, and a slew of big games hitting soon. (CC:FF, FF:Tactics, God of War)

hate to say it but i think there is no chance.  Particularly god of war and FF tactics have zero chance, while CC:FF has a very very small chance.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

PSP games wont go up there ... as much as this hurts me to say ... that doesnt means that there could be no good sellers ... actually , I dont think that the future holds many games that will have the chance to break those numbers ... why , because there are many gamers and much more games . And Wii SPorts isnt the best example , because its bundled in with the console . If the PS2 would have had a game bundled in with it , than we would have now a 100 million + selling game :P

You make me laugh...

It wasnt $hit as you put it, just wasnt your type of game. Your posts are as constructive and as entertaining as ever, keep up the good work!



Games i'm currently playing:

Well i agree hunter it is bundled, which obviously inflates it's sales (something i suppose i shall call 'force bundled' where you have to get it, like Motorsports with the 80G, but there are lots of non-force bundles that also inflate sales, just not as much...singstar in Eu is probably responsible for 1/2 of the past years PS2 bundles (i do wonder why it is not on the million sellers list, maybe because there are about 40 different singstar games))

That is not the point though, for one thing Wii sports will not be 'force' bundled forever, (and isn't in Japan but still sells to more than half of owners) and any game bundled with the PS2 wouldn't have been bundled for it's life.
Secondly i think it is part of the reason the Wii is selling so well, Wii sports is a brilliant game.
And thirdly i am just basing this whole thing on the worldwide software list we have on this site, i am not considering bundles or games with incentives (wii play) so it is truly just the top ten list for software.

So i still believe we will have 4 new games in the top ten when this generation ends, Wii sports definately included.

anyone who buys a dog life sim for the grafics is just silly, i am inclined to not believe you.
