Someone made the same topic in France and everybody says GTA IV will be the best sold game in 2008 , that's not the case here !

Personally , I think (all versions) :


-GTA IV : 13 millions (very expected in France ! )

-Smash Bros Brawl : 12 millions

-Wii Fit : 12 milllions

-Star Craft 2 : 7 millions

-Mario Kart Wii : 6,5 millions

-Call of Duty 5 : 6 millions

-Madden NFL 09 : 5,5 millions

-Gran Turismo 5 : 5 millions (if it is WW)

-PES 2009 : 4,5 millions

-Fifa 09 : 4,5 millions

-Halo Wars : 2,5 millions (a lot of Halo's fan in NA ... )

-Metal Gear Solid 4 : 2,5 millions

-Killzone 2 : 2 millions

-Fable 2 : 1,5 millions



WIthout Wii Sports and Wii play because of bundled.

I doubt GTA IV can sell that much in 2008 alone. Lifetime yes, 2008 will be closer to 8 million for both games. And the SSBB number seems too optimistic too. COD5 is too optimistic also, I doubt it will sell better than COD4 since it's developped by another developper and it's going back to WWII. What makes COD4 so appealing and addictive is the modern warfare aspect IMHO.

And 1 more thing, Fable 2 shouldn't even be listed. I can name 10 games out of my head that will sell more than that!

gt 5, killzone 2, ressistance 2, ff13 won't sell good cause their premiere is in the end of 2008 so the best selling games of 2008 will be SSBB, wiifit and mario kart(ps3 games doesn't have enough audience right know to sell as good as wii games).

GTA 4, it has 8 Full months and right now, 26m installed base

Halo 3 sold 6m ish in 3months i expect GTA 4 to do about that 6m+ in 8months its a bigger title than Halo but not as rush out n buy

PS3 look at COD 4 2m in 3 months, GTA 4 should double that so 4m

GTA 4 across both platforms 10m min for 2008

well it depends when will they launch in what territory as i think brawl will launch pretty late in europe, if GTA4 launches late in europe then i think SSBB will win but if it launches the same time in NA and EU then GTA4 will win
