Anyway, huge sales are coming:
Calling now, it will be the best selling game this year, selling more than Zelda and Spider Man (if it ever gets released this year)

I'd guess the top 10 ranking at the end of the year, worldwide, will be something like:
- Hogwarts Legacy
- CoD 2023 (it was recently reported that what was originally planned to be just an expansion for CoD MW2 last year has instead been expanded into a full CoD release)
- Diablo 4
- Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
- Starfield
- Spider-Man 2
- EA Sports FC 2024 (EA lost the FIFA rights starting in 2023, so all future EA football games will be under the EA Sports FC name, while FIFA has partnered with another publisher to release a new FIFA branded football series of games starting in 2024)
- Star Wars Jedi Survivor
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
- Resident Evil 4 Remake

Now that it's been announced, Mario Bros Wonder will definitely be in the running for biggest game of the year as well, plus Tears of the Kingdom has blown up even bigger than expected, passing 18 million in it's first month and a half.
COD MW3 will probably end up at #1 though on brand name alone.
Will be very interesting to see where Hogwarts ends up; lifetime, 30 million plus could be on the cards.
