Predictions on Failing to Meet Expectations from E3

[mike_intellivision]

There are many a game to be demoed in the next week in LA at E3.

 

My question for discussion is what is going to be shown that is thought to be AAA but will end up selling like day-old
bread rather than hotcakes.

 

In other words, what big games are not going to be big sellers.

 

The reason I propose this discussion is I see a lot of similar games coming out and know that all of them can't move well in the marketplace. The same thing happens each year. (This is not a dig on any particular game, console, or developer).

 

For the PS3 -- I will say Little Big Planet because it is a differnt sort of game and those tend not to do well on any console, even if they are great (e.g. Okami).

 

For the Wii -- I will say Fatal Frame 4 because the series does not resonate as much with people compared to other survival horror franchises (e.g., Resident Evil) and because it has never before been on a Nintendo console (jumping from PS2/Xbox).

 

For the Xbox 360 -- I wills say Fable 2 because the original game under-delivered compared to the promises of its creator.

 

Please let the discussion ensue.
