No doubt Dishonored will win both metrics. ioi said that it has a chance at selling 2 million in 2012 alone.

Meanwhile XCOM might sell only 1 million lifetime. Obviously I am hoping for more.

Dishonored seems to have a great chance at a 90% Metacritic but I feel that XCOM will be 85% or so, which is still absolutely great because it must be hard to bring a classic strategy game to consoles and nail it the first time.

These 2 games are my most anticipated this year (together with Of Orcs and Men). Amazing and unique games.

The first XCOM game did ok on PS1, and from all reports the controls are great on consoles. As for sales it could pass 1 million this year accross all platforms, I mean Civ 5 managed it on just PC. I don't think 2 million lifetime for XCOM is out of the question, Civ 4 manged 3+ million over 3 years. Assuming it's actually good of course.
