Interesting scores, are you keeping the maximum low because you are expecting much bigger games to be announced?

Kinda. There will be bigger games announced, but not this year.

Games I gave a 1 don't matter. A 2 might do a little. 3s have a good chance to sell a 1m copies (lifetime), thus will have a guaranteed small effect. 4s will do 2m, so a moderate effect on hardware sales. 5 = 3m, 6 = 5m, 7 = 7m, 8 = 10m, 9 = 15m, 10 = 20m+. Something like that. Not a fan of score inflation like gaming journalists.

Some games (for example Forza 5 and Drive Club) can and probably will end up with higher lifetime sales due to bundling, but that doesn't make them bigger system sellers than games that manage to shift 2m copies without bundles.

I see, i agree with you that there are only a few games that will really push systems. I think 2 or 3 really huge exclusives in the end make the difference. But the new Halo at a 6 what kind of games are you thinking of, something that will match GTA, Pokemon or maybe even Wii Sports?
