That being said, gaming hardware is going to be very sad faced this year as a whole. We'll see what GeoW3 does next week (the first mega title released this season) to boost, but I'm not confident. And I really don't see any other title, exclusive or not, that could do much better ... |
F1/FIFA 12 combo, Modern Warfare 3, Uncharted 3, Ni No Kuni, Skyward Sword and Final Fantasy XIII-2 all have the potential to move HW on launch.
F1/FIFA and CoD I think will obviously be similar to last Years boosts (F1/FIFA boosted PS3 by 5% and 15% in consecutive Weeks, CoD boosted 360 by 44% the Week after Kinect release and PS3 by 21%)
Uncharted 3 will be Sony's only majorly big game this Year so that'll be given a big push alongside the bundle. Ni No Kuni and Final Fantasy XIII-2 both have special hardware bundles like the Gears one.
Overall sales are going to be massively down YoY though, no matter what. 3DS is going to be the bright spark this Holiday, while others are down.
