Forums - Sales - what will be the highest selling game of 2008?

1st:GTA4
2nd:Gran Turismo 5 / LBP / Wiifit
3nd:Killzone 2
4rd:MGS4
5th:Resistance 2 / Gears of War 2
6th:Smash Bros Brawl / DMC4 (maybe)

 

I think SSBB will not pass 4 millions because the most of Wii users are casual gamers; the ones that will buy this game the are Hardcore Wii gamers, which will be only (at the end of this gen consoles) the same or a little more than the gamecube´s. I think wiifit will sell a lot because of the reason just explained.

^^You're aware that there are already a couple million preorders for Brawl, right? And that preorders usually account for roughly half of LAUNCH sales. There is no chance of Brawl selling less than Resistance, Gears, MGS, or LBP, and very little chance for GT. IMO anyway

1. Brawl or Wii Fit
2. GTA
3. MGS4
4. Resistance/Gears(if announced)
5. LBP



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

^^ what you are saying applies to games that are for consoles which most of their userbase are HARDCORE gamers and the Wii doesn´t has that kind of audience/userbase.



I think another thing to consider is which game will flop the hardest out of those listed in 2008

The only one that I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever in its sales abilities is GTAIV

and that seems to be the popular opinion.

followed by SSBB. Are all of you wii users going to buy wiifit?



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.


^It'll be tough for SSBB to beat both platforms (Galaxy is losing to COD4 in both platforms)

I am saying this the 3rd time, top selling Mario game: Mario 64 won in N64, Mario Kart won in GC, SSBB will win in Wii. Galaxy already sold 5mil+ in 3 months, expect SSBB to beat that. Maybe twice as much.

 

Why should anyone doubt Wii Fit? Not buying Wii Fit will be like not buying a nunchuk, which is impossible.

 



WW Market share prediction on 31st March 08 (I make this prediction on 13 Dec 07):

Wii - 50%

X360 - 30%

PS3 - 20%

1-SSBB
2-GTA IV
3-Wii Fit
4-Mario Kart Wii
5-Super Mario Galaxy

Thats my opinion.



100% Coritiba Foot Ball Club!

SSBB
Wii Fit
GTA 4



I have to say GTA4, its comes out early in the year and its on multiple platforms from day one.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

2008 = gta iv depends if gran turismo 5 comes in 2008 it will sell millions too
