What do you guys think? I ordered in terms of expected sales (not counting DLC or subscription revenues)

 

As much as I want DQIX to be successful, I don't think, even with Nintendo's help this time, it'll surpass all those other games you have listed.  It would have to sell at least 1.5-2 million additional units outside of Japan to surpass Mass Effect 2.  Even with the best advertising campaign from Nintendo, that probably isn't going to happen.  Add this to the fact that they haven't even started advertising it yet.

Likewise, eventhough Star Trek Online is getting some decent advertising, it just doesn't look like that strong of an MMO to support what they're advertising.  It may just be my personal opinion, but I don't think Star Trek Online is going to go very far.  Certainly not outselling Mass Effect 2 or Fable 3.

Also, is FFXIV coming out in 2010?
