this list is laughable, but here are my thoughts (world wide lifetime sales, so 2010 and on sales)
* 1. Halo: Reach - could do 10m
* 2. Final Fantasy XIII - Do we count Japanese sales? If So, why isn't NSMBWii on the list it launched in 2009 too  Overall western market 3.5m units (6m total with Japan)
* 3. StarCraft II - no comment, but I'm sure this will move a lot
* 4. Call of Duty 7 - 10m combined
* 5. FIFA 11 - 8m combined. (if this is US only, these guys are on some serious drugs)
* 6. BioShock 2 - 3m combined, doesn't really deserve to be on the list.
* 7. Mass Effect 2 - 2-3m doesn't deserve to be on the list
* 8. God of War III - 3m doesn't deserve to be on the list.
* 9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - what? this isn't a 2010 game. where is NSMBWii, Mario Kart, or Wii Fit?
* 10. Gran Turismo 5 - 8-10m, just don't understand why it is on the bottom.
games missing
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 7-8m
Zelda Wii - 5m (could easily do more, giving pessimistic prediction), more deserving than those 2-3m games
Wii Vitality ??? (heck, every other peripheral took off, so whatever )
Pokemon Gold/Silver 6m in western markets (pessimistic view due to remake status, also are we counting portables?)
Also, any of the continually selling Wii or DS games could easily bump those 2-3m sellers out of the list if we aren't counting games released before 2010, however Modern Warfare is in the list, so I don't know what to think. |
Does FIFA sell so much cos it's on many platforms? (is it on Wii PSP and stuff, along with HD+PS2?)
R u serious about FF13 sales. Only 3,5 mil in the West? I thought the last FF sold like 5 mill in the West, but I may be wrong, i forgot lol. So being the first FF in a very long time, on a new gen, and on two consoles should lift the sales from the last FF.
|
Unless I made a mistake, I put FFXIII above FFXII sales and picked it as the 4th best selling ever. Seems reasonable to me. 2.5m in Japan, 3.5m in the west. Obviously I could be off, but it is a rough estimate.
But crap, I forgot the X360 version, so... maybe higher? I don't know if being multiplatform will help this title or not.

you are OFF by a bit
FFXIII should sell no less than 7 million at absolute minimum, I expect 9 - 10 million
to make 7 million it will do
2.5 million in japan + 4.5 Million in the west
eventually I expect:
2.5 Million in Japan + 7 Million in the west!!!!!! (thats LTD including all re-releases at the end of this gen)

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised Darth.

COD7, NSMBWii, Wii Sports Resort, FIFA11, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, Halo Reach, Pokemon HG/SS, Friend Connection (srsly, this is going to be HUGE). GT5 might outdo a few of them, but then there's other contenders too (Madden11, FFXIII, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Fit Plus, etc).
I think GT5 will definitely make top 10, but definitely not top 5.
|
Fifa 11? And according to VGC, Diablo 2 managed 5.33 million. Do you expect GT5 to sell no more than 6.5 million?
|
With all the various rereleases and bundle sets, I'd be shocked if D2 isn't over 10m. I may be overshooting though, the PC market's much weaker today than back then. On the other hand, D3 is probably going to get a console release too, which could push it. Switch it out for FFXIII or Wii Fit Plus or something.
I dunno, GT5 coming in at number 10 just wouldn't surprise me at all.
