I will say MotorStorm 2. I've played the demo and think it is a good game, but I don't think it will sell nearly as well as the first. The first MotorStorm was bundled in some regions and did not have any competition. MotorStorm 2 will be competing directly with Pure, which is a strong title.

Another possibility is Socom. I think it may get lost in the mix of great games being released. If Resistance 2's multiplayer is as good as they say, Socom may be in trouble.

Honorable mentions: Mirror's Edge and Call of DutyWW(compared to COD4)

I don't know about the rest, but I can guarentee you Motorstorm 2 won't fail because of Pure. It's a good game and all, but it has nothing, NOTHING on Motorstorm.

OT: Gears of War 2...

 

seriously, LBP probably. Expectations are waaaaaay too high for it to even come close to meeting them. It will sell well, perhaps very well, but not to the standards people are laying on it. Also, I think Fable II will dissapoint with sales while still being a solid game.

 

Most of the explicit LBP predictions I've seen here go like this: good initial sales, great legs.  I think that's what'll happen.
