I just notice that Left 4 Dead is set for a November 10, 2009 release, which also be the same day Assassin Creed comes out. Not to mention that Modern Warfare 2 will be released the following week. I personally think that Modern Warfae 2 will affect both games sales. Modern Warfare 2 is probably the biggest FPS release this holiday.

So what do you think?

Other way around, MW2 is coming out on the 10th and AC2 and L4D2 are both coming out the following week on the 17th.  I think all three games will sell well especially since the holiday lineup this year is quite a bit thinner than last years after all the recent delay announcements.  L4D 1 did fine last year against CoD WaW and Gears 2 and AC 1 did fine against COD4 and Halo 3 so I think they can succeed despite the behemoth that is MW2.

Assassin's Creed II is extremely strong.

12 million lifetime. (7 million on X360, 5 million PS3)

If anything, it's Assassin's Creed II who will hurt CoD 6 because ACII comes out first and people will be busy playing it when CoD 6 comes out.

AC barely sold 8 million with both systems put together. It didnt even come CLOSE to 7 million on 360!

Yes, MW2 will reduce both games sales a little.
And isnt MW2 coming out on Nov 10th?

I hope L4D2 becomes delayed lol, I'm only going to buy MW2 and ACII =/ I think L4D2 will be the biggest disappointment in November for a huge game

this will be an interested holidays.

I think you have the releases slightly wrong

In the UK it is Modern Warfare 2 on 10th, Assassin's Creed 2 20th and LFD 2 on 30th

I am sure they won't really interfere, maybe MW 2 on LFD 2 a little, but AC is certainly a strong enough brand

Research on this site for numbers is false information. Plus it was a prediction

I don't think that the AC and L4D sales will be affected by Modern Warfare 2. I also think the prediction that Assassins Creed will do 12 million copies means that it have to sell on par with GTAIV.

Not happening.

I think MW2 will be hurt slightly with the increase in price some PAL regions. It may help AC2 and L4D2 over there.
