Forums - Gaming - What contributing factors will increase console sells this holiday season

If Sony, MS, and Nintendo plan to make there yr end projections and gamer perdictions of (Sony)44-48m, (MS) 45-50m, and (Nintendo) 85m by yrs end, what games or other contributing factors will be at play this holiday season? Here are some i found and if i've missed any fill free to post them.

While one of MS's major contrabutions in Halo Reach has already been released COD black op's and Medal of Honor could also play a part in a sells boost this fall both HD consoles but mainly for Xbox 360, and with black friday slowly creeping around the corner, and Christmas presents yet to be rapped! Halo Reach may find its self back in the spotlight?

Shooters may dominate the 360, but PS3 shows off a little verity in its list. While GT5 is the core sentric  game in this list, Vanquish and need for speed more then hold there own. Like Medal of Honor and COD black OP'S, Need for Speed and Vanquish are multi platform and may not provide a sells boost this holiday season.

Marios 25th anniversary is a major milestone in the gaming industry and the bundle will surely have a major impact on sells this holiday season.

well kinect and move will be huge factors for sales. Also the games will be too. If Nintendo cuts the price of the wii even by $25 i think it will have another good holiday. I am saying this because as soon as the wii reached !175 on amazon the sales went up a little.



GT5's a big one, the UK's already reporting GT5 preorders have surpassed Black Ops.

When he says "the UK", he means one small internet retailer based in the UK.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

ok!



Add Fallout and Fable for the 360 as well.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

GT5 is the true biggy here!

Lets hope its the monster we all hope it would be!!

Then we have possible WAL-MART gift cards that raised Xbox 360 and Wii sales a lot last year.

DKCR and The Mario games for Wii.....Epic Mickey is a wild card.

For Xbox 360 Fable bundles will push some systems.

Awesome thread BTW!

ok! so is that big or not?


Oh, GT5 is big yeah, but we don't actually know if it's preorders are more than CoD (due to the retailer being small and unrepresentative).
