Hardware Sales

Wii - 70 Million

XBOX 360 - 39 Million

PS3 - 31 Million


1. Wii Sports Resort will sell 10 Million copies worldwide by year end
I don't think so.

2. Wii Fit will hit 26 Million copies sold by year end
Could do

3. Mario Kart Wii will hit 17 Million copies sold by year end
Should do

4. Punch-Out!! will sell 2.5 Million copies by year end
Might

5. Wii Fit Plus will sell 2.5 Million copies by year end (if released)
Probably doesn't exist.
 
6. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers Brawl will hit 9 Million copies sold by year end
Probably. SSBB could but Mario Galaxy is unlikely
 
7. Red Steel 2 and Rabbids Go Home will both get high review scores 88 - 93 aggregate
Not that high, I don't think. Not sure yet

8. EA Sports ACTIVE will sell 4 Million copies by years end
Hell no, it'll be lucky to get 2 million. Already hit 2 Million Kantor so you were wrong there but 4 million is probably out of reach.

9. Grand Slam Tennis and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 will have total sales of over 4 Million by years end
Combined? I still think not. Way off

10. Ghostbusters will sell better on Wii than either the PS3 or 360
No way. Third party, hardcore, new IP without a Nintendo mascot Sold most on PlayStation thanks to Sony publishing

11. Halo 3: ODST will sell 4 Million by years end
I think so too

12. Modern Warfare 2 will sell 15 Million LTD across PS3, 360, Wii, DS, PSP if released on all platforms
It'll sell that on PS3, 360 and Wii alone. If it releases on Wii. I predict 8.5 million for 360, 5.5 million for PS3, and 1.5 million for Wii. Yet to be determined, not releasing on Wii this year.

13. Heavy Rain will break 1 Million LTD being a success but many will label it as a flop
I certainly hope so. releasing in 2010

14. Uncharted 2 will launch with sales of 650,000 first week and go on to sell 3 Million LTD
Agreed. May sell even more with much hype surrounding the title - looking likely to hit 650k first week 

15. De Blob 2 will be announced alongside an announcement of 900,000 copies sold of the original
Well, No More Heroes sold well enough to warrant a sequel, I don't see why not. Hasn't happened

16. GTA: Chinatown Wars will hit 2.5 Million sold by year end
No way in hell. With a 150k first week? No but will hit 2.5 Million with the PSP release

17. The Conduit will sell 100,000 at its opening and be called a flop early however it will go on to sell 1.5 Million by years end
I say it'll do more than that first week, maybe 300k, but 1.5 million by year's end sounds right. Not as good as expected, bombed.

18. Sin & Punishment 2 will sell 500k LTD
Never heard of that game, but sure. 

19. Sony announce the PSP2 at E3 alongside GT5 Mobile and a GT5 launch date
Last two are probable, I don't think they'd announce a PSP2 just yet. Maybe a PSP-4000. GT Mobile was announced so 1/3

That's what I think.


Now lets take a look at where you agreed with me and disagreed with me and see what has happened and what is likely/unlikely now.
Green = Success
Blue = Likely to happen by years end
Yellow = partial success/ 50-50 chance of happening by years end
Orange = Unlikely to happen by years end
Red = Failure

 

So 8 failures to 1 success. Lol
