given ckmlb "fab fifteen" which will sell systems and which will just sell?

1) System Sellers

Wii - predicting what will be a System Seller is actually hard because the system seems to sell out either way. Metroid, Mario and Smash could all help sell systems, but will we ever know?

Xbox - Halo 3 without a doubt.

PS3 - None of the above, really. Drake or Heavenly Sword could pull off a surprise win.


2)greatest hit (by system)?

Wii - Toss-up between Smash and Mario Galaxy. I think it all depends on if Mario Galaxy actually appeals to the new gamers.

Xbox 360 - Halo 3.

PS3 - Most likely Unreal Tournament or Ratchet and Clank, but again, Drake or Heavenly Sword could be a surprise hit.


3) Greatest surprise?
That all depends on your expectations, doesn't it? I think some people believe Heavenly Sword will be a huge hit, and others believe it will be a flop.  I guess biggest surprise would most likely go to one of PS3's unknown titles, since that's almost all they've got, or maybe Blue Dragon.

4) Greatest flop?
If it's based on expectations, then again, it depends on whose expectations. I think Zak and Blue Dragon both have the biggest potential to sell really badly. At the same time, I think a lot of people will be disappointed with the sales of Bioshock even though it will outsell Zak and Wikki and probably Blue Dragon, too.

5) Which system in your opinion will benefit more from fall/christmas lineup?
Probably 360, since the PS3 really doesn't have any proven sellers, and the Wii would sell like crazy even if the lineup sucked. That said, PS3 could benefit simply because the system really needs games.
