I agree about MGS4

i feel it will be the BEST game out of them, but will sell the least out of them due to it's audience...

PS

What if Killzone 2 turns into this gigantic blockbuster?

killzone could be huge, so could littlebigplanet. i just listed the obvious stuff. oh, and i didn't put any 360 exclusives because i can't think of any big ones. ninja gaiden doesn't really sell that well....halo wars could be big I guess....

naaaaah

Ninja gaiden doesn't sell that well, Halo wars is an RTS on Xbox 360

not an FPS..so I don;t think it will be that big

ON DS or PSP...are we sure there is nothing (apart from DQ IX - DS)

Them in order of sales:

GTAIV

Wii Fit

The Sims 3 (if it makes it out in 2008)

Mario Kart

Brawl

GT5

MGS4

:O


 Eh, i'd be surprised if they're able to create enough Wii-fit balance boards to get up that high.

MGS4 might not even chart.  I think they'll hit delay problems again.

I thought GT5 was coming out in like december of next year, somewhere close to the endthat will limit its sales in any case.



Unless the XBox 360 or PS3 gets a (fairly) major price reduction and is in the $200 price range I anticipate that Grand Theft Auto 4's sales will be much lower than previous versions ... GTA has typically sold very well to young male "casual" gamers (as in, buys 1 or 2 games per year) who are not likely to spend nearly $400 to buy a game and a system to play it on. I suspect that it will have sold 6 to 8 Million copies by the end of 2008.

This puts it into the range where Mario Kart (a great "cross over" game), Super Smash Bros. and Wii Fit (if it catches on like brain training) could surpass it in sales.

A long shot to add to the list would be Animal Crossing for the Wii ... although home console versions have not sold that well, it did sell over 8 Million copies on the Nintendo DS



1.GTA 4
2.Brawl
3.GT5

GTA4(all systems) No Brainer
SSBB
WiiFit
GT4

All of which will outsell Halo 3... : )

 Edit: YA for post 100!



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

  1. SSBB
  2. GTA 4
  3. MKW
I don't know about the other games as I have never played games in the series and who knows where WiiFit could end up. but I can see these 3 being in this order. and they come very close to each other in sales. GTA 4 will be huge. SSBB over MKW because SSBB will come out Jan. in Japan, Feb. in US and who knows for Europe and Australia. MKW is going to come out March-June (It was Q1 but I believe they changed it to first half of the year, so there may be or may not be a delay)
