1 What will top 5 be at the end of the generation?.

2 What will be the top 3/5 going by averages?.

3 How many will the top 5 sell each?

4 How many games in each franchise?


Question 1:

  1. Call of Duty - There will be at least 8 or 9 Call of duty's this gen so sales will be really high considering IW can keep it fresh (we all know treyarch just copies IW)
  2. Halo - Theres 4 Halo's including Reach and there will probably be at least 1 or 2 more spinoffs before the end of this gen
  3. Madden - There will be Madden '06-'13 probably on the 360 each selling at least a couple million.
  4. Tom Clancy - There's already a lot of these games plus Conviction is coming, Ghost Recon 4 is coming, probably a new Rainbow Six soon, etc. Sales should be good.
  5. Grand Theft Auto - I expect to see at LEAST a GTA5 and possibly a GTA6

Question 2

  1. Grand Theft Auto - Theres only gonna be 2-3 of them this gen (likely) but should be about a 8-10 million average
  2. Halo - Probably like a 7-8 million average sales. I doubt any future spinoff will sell as high as Halo 3
  3. Call of Duty - Modern Warfare 2 could sell 10 million. It should only go down from there but still average 6-7 million
  4. Gears of War - Around 5 million average per game
  5. Forza - If Forza 3 does well then the series could average around 3-4 million/game

Question 3

  1. Call of duty will could sell like 40 million if its at 18 million now and MW2 should do amazing (like 10 mill+)
  2. Halo could be 30 million or more depending on if theres more spinoffs then just reach and ODST
  3. Grand Theft Auto will sell 25-30 million
  4. Madden could do like 20 million over my estimated 8 games this gen on the 360
  5. Gears would do 15 million on the main series and a spinoff would put the series closer to 20 million

Question 4

  1. 8-9 Call of Duty's isn't out of the question considering MW2 is really Call of Duty 6
  2. I expect 6 Halo's meaning 2 more unannounced spinoffs
  3. 8 Maddens like I said. I'm probably low on that probably more like 10 since maddens come out for last gen systems for a long time
  4. 4 Gears of wars since I'm expecing a spinoff
  5. 3 GTA's
