Forums - Sales Discussion - GI.biz: TOP Selling Games of 2010 - Halo Reach #1, FFXIII #2, GT5 #10!!

list is terrible... i'm pretty sure people have already mentioned the absurd points but here are mine:

GT5 at 10. no explanation required.
FFXIII at 2... it is likely to sell less than XII...
GOW3 behind mass effect 2... gow3's first 2 weeks will probably surpass where mass effect 2 is at right now... so yeah...
Having no nintendo software... it has to be only HD.. no other explanation... which is a head scratcher... why not include nintendo? proably cuz 8 of the top 10 would be nintendo.. lmao.
Starcrat 2 is pretty high too... it will have legs but will be pirated alot.

It's only March, but let's revisit this.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was not on the list at all, not even as a dark horse, and neither were any Nintendo games. So far this year it's sold ~3.6 million copies worldwide.

Of the games that have a mostly worldwide release on the list:


BioShock 2 has sold ~1.4 million and is selling less on a weekly basis.
Mass Effect 2 has sold ~1.5 million and is selling less on a weekly basis.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has sold ~2 million and is selling less on a weekly basis.

All three have PC editions as well but it's safe to say they're all going to be behind NSMB for the year.

Random forum posters 3, Industry professionals 0.

They mean games on the HD twins only...

Please point out to me where the GIbiz survey said anything about being HD only.

Its clear that the list is HD only...since they dont specify any Wii/PSP/DS games...not even in their ''dark horse'' list.

 



^Maybe they're just idiots. You're going to have to actually point to something saying HD only if want to prove your point.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Yeah.....FFXIII is not going to be #2.

It's not clear at all, since it not even implied *anywhere* in the article.  In fact, it gives the exact opposite implication if you read it.

Then,as demotruk stated,they are idiots who only posted some random lists that make them smile.



I partook in the survey and it was not HD console only. I even chided them after it was published for the selections they made.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

GT5 less than GoW3, and Halo Reach the #1, lol, fail.
they also didn't list a single NDS or Wii game, also fail.
i don't own a Wii, but some crappy Wii games out there outsold PS3 and X360 games.

Super Mario Galaxy sold 8.53 on vgchartz list here, but i bet it had already sold over 10m copies.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 come out in May and June 2010, how come it was not on the top 10?
MS should love hyping the mediocre Halo series that play almost like the same every year.
its not like i am a fanboy or anything cause i own an X360 as well, but the list just fail.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be the #1 for sure. i don't own a Wii, but i still know.



ok guys the list has FAIL written all over it so don't bash it anymore lolz
