2010: year of the flops?

[DirtyP2002]

I agree for the most part.

I expected bigger numbers for ModNation Racers and of course Alan Wake. Crackdown 2 could have done better as well, but reviews killed it. I don't know why though. Pretty much everybody I talk to enjoys Crackdown 2, just because it is fun. But that is something reviewers don't review these days: Fun.

I thought Bioshock 2 would be quite huge, too.

On the other hand there were quite a few games that sold well and surprised me. MW2 sold big numbers in 2010, RDR is a great hit and a possible GOTY contender. I didn't see that one coming. Heavy Rain sold well, too. Mass Effect2 and Splinter Cell Conviction did in line with my expectations.

But by the look of things the holiday season will be quite big. Halo Reach will sell like crazy, preorders for Fable III in the US are awesome and I don't see GT5 flop badly either.
