How come Resident Evil 6, Far Cry 3 and Tomb Raider aren't in the top 20? They're bigger games than Hitman.

Not anymore they're not. Hitman will be bigger than all three of them!

Haha, you are as passionate about Hitman as I am about Oblivion (Elder Scrolls).

I know that Square Enix is really counting on Hitman and it's considered a multi-million selling AAA franchise. Kinda like Ubisoft sees Splinter Cell. By the looks of things probably they are targeting 4 million in sales (judging from an article I read in Gamasutra about the huge size and budget of the dev studio in Canada that will be responsible for the Hitman series in the future).

Personally I think Hitman will get good reviews (85%) but underperform saleswise and not be profitable. Around 2.5 million on PS360.
