All i know is that Yakuza 4 will be my biggest game for 2011 ^____^

Who lets these PS3 fans run rampant with off topic comments?

This is a biggest game of 2011 thread. Not what modest selling game you want.

Don't you think Zelda could potentially outsell Gears of War 3? Maybe another Wii --- exclusive too like Wii Relax?

Gears of War 3 will most likely be the best selling HD exclusive. Sony isn't making any big new IP's and I really doubt games like Killzone 3 will triple their sales in the new installment. Uncharted 3 has the outside chance, but with both prior installments selling 3-4 million, I doubt it.

Then again, MS has the habit of announcing something BIG at E3. Forza 3 and Gears 2 were announced the year of release, and ODST wasn't far from that.

I'm not even considering Sony will put out something that successful. Its not often IPs go from modest sales to mega seller. They would have to put out a big new IP for that to happen.

Zelda will likely be a big seller long term. It has the potential to outsell Gears 3 long term, it won't happen in 2011.

I agree with you about sony thats why I first said they aren't releasing new IP's, and then joked about old IP sales jumping lol.

Well I guess so far then Gears of War 3 will be the biggest exclusive for 2011, assuming Zelda sales don't flourish in 2011, which they probably won't. However MS and Nintendo can still announce something big. MS is an unlikely canidate, unless Cryteks Kingdoms really kicks ass. However a Wii --- (Relax, Party 2, Fit 3, Sports Extreme, etc), would most likely topple Gears 3 sales if released at a reasonable time.

He actually said "biggest 360 exclusive," though I missed it the first time too.

Starcraft 2 is selling pretty poorly for a Starcraft game. It may not outsell Gears 2, in my opinion most likely not, why would all these other games which in the past have sold more poorly, somehow outsell Gears?

What makes you say this? We don't have any data on how the first Starcraft sold (its sales pattern), and I'm not sure our current data counts Korea at all, which is easily its biggest market.

Worldwide, I'd bet on it easily topping any Gears title (though its western sales are weaker).

Whoah multiple quotes! Magic! Blasphamy!! AHH

sorry i missed that, but I think he also thinks best exclusive all together, I just asked.

As for Starcraft 2, thats a good point. Korea, one of the biggest markets is essentially excluded from this data, and what about China and Japan? I know several Chinese people who play Starcraft 2, I bet their cousins in China play too.

Starcraft may also outsell Gears of War 2, but the DLC is not even due in 2011, and even if it did come out in 2011, sales in 2011 would definatly be below Gears 3. This is about the best exclusive in 2011 right?

best selling game one 1 console yes, and maytbe game of the yr. but not yhe best game. to many other great games are coming out next yr. theres a list of Sony, Nintendo and multiplatform titles hitting the market hard! the 8 i'm most intissapatting are

1. LBP2

2. Ghoust Recon future soldier

3. Bullet storm

4. Killzone3

5. Legend of zeld skyward sword

6. Resistance3

7. The Last Guardian

8. Infamos2

other then GRAW thats my must get list. nothing else really matters cause these are the best games hands down for next yr. still waiting for more unanounced games to make an apperiance, and more ne IP's from Sony

And this has what to do with the topic?

Just seems like an off topic comment regarding games you're looking forward too.

 

OT: Gears 3 will be the biggest 360 exclusive of 2011. But I imagine other games could pop up towrds the holiday that could steal its thunder.


i agree with your last statement. well i still expect more from the big 3 as a hole not just Sony and from the topic you would think that Gears 3 is the op's most anticipated game and from that impression i proceeded to put the full list i have at this time.

the rest was just my argument about Gears not being the best game coming out next yr. i do expect game of the yr from some publications, but i listed those because of the title of the thread.

not to mention i did list Gears 3 as GRAW as a game in that list so i realy don't get your point?

Mr. Puggsly? i can't beleave this is comming from u?

I don't care about the sales. 


Why are you here?


Because eventually you will realize it is irrelevant in the long run with all of the games combined sales.

He might not realize GRAW was Gears of War. The only GRAW I'm aware of are the last two games in the Ghost Recon series.

Nintendogs and Cats

thread/



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

The first Gears games are around 6 million sold, aren't they? Zelda should match or exceed that, really. What other big exclusives are there next year? Obviously Black/White will outsell Gears 3, but you don't want to include that. What about all the 3DS games? If stuff like Kart 3D, Animal Crossing and Nintendogs Cats are out worldwide next year, they'll be among the top selling games of the year.
