Does anyone have some sales predictions for next year?

2011 Sales Predictions

Forza 4  3 Mil
Gears 3 3 Mil
Kinect Adventures 3.5 Mil
Starwars Kinect 1 Mil
Xcom .75 Mil
Kingdoms 1.2 Mil

Ps3
Uncharted 3 3.2 Mil
Little Big Planet 3 Mil
Killzone 3 2 Mil
Resistance 3 1.8 Mil
Infamous 2 1.4 Mil
Socom 4 1.1 Mil
Ratchet and Clank .8 Mil
Motorstorm Apocalypse 1.1 Mil
MLB .6 Mil
DC Universe .6 Mil
ICO Collection .5 Mil
Move Heroes .5 Mil

So unless we get some more announcements for 360 things are looking better for PS3

Your Kinect Adventures predictions are way low. I'm guessing somewhere closer to 10 million. I mean it cleared 7 million in 2 months.

On top of that, I think popular Kinect games like Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Joy Ride, Dance Central, and maybe some others are gonna have great legs.

I consider a game profitable if it has sold over 500k copies

I highly doubt these are the only developers that didn't profit with a game that seemed to have respectable sales.

Lost Planet 2 for example was a failure and that crossed a million.

Sony puts a lot of money in their games so they may not be making the massive profits you think. They also spend a lot on marketing. Every time I turn on the TV I see that albino guy trying to sell me a new PS3 game or trying to convice Move is great for families.

well the stone has to be written on so i wouldn't speculate.

as someone has said before as PS3's install base increases the software numbers increase (COD BOPS numbers are very close), and its something that were seeing every day.

i think the key statement here is the amazing legs PS3 games seem to have at this point(MNR to reach 1m by end of 2011?/ love the underdog)

i think software sells for 2011 will be to close to call.

Nothing as far to say this trend will change...but what's money anyway...or some will say, since these companies make games for fun...and not to make ooodles of cash!

I do not consider 360/pc releases as exclusives, so I guess the ps3 has won already imo lol.

This at so many levels. Thank you genious <3

first off, theres no contest between ps3's and the 360s exclusives

second, if xbox does announce any more exclusives at this years e3, does anyone honestly think that they will be released in 2011.  i mean honestly, how many unveiled at e3 have been released during that year.  im sure there are few but not too many.

third, the way the ps3 has started out this year (i know this is a very bold statement) it seems it is already gaining more momentum than the xbox

I too don't agree with Matrix statement. Kinda' like me saying: Crackdown 2 was a not so polished turd and Alan Wake was the worst game I've ever played in my entire life as a gamer [IMO].

 

^Both of those are so not true and complete bullshit, I'm just putting an example. If thats your opinion, you should present it as your opinion and not a fact. In which I can clearly state that what I said above just might be my opinion... OR IS IT?! (Dun dun duuu).

 

Looking extremly forward to Motorstorm Apocalypse :]!

I do not agree with these statements. Taking things out of context FTW! Seriously though, I am pretty psyched for Motorstorm 3 too!

Not this year. I'm sure it's not going to be Gears 3 and Forza 4 vs Uncharted 2, Twisted Metal, LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Infamous 2, etc. MS will have more exclusives unveiled at E3. And their are some new IP's that have potential to be a million seller.


Well obviously its not that cut and dry but I think Sony will make a huge dent with no Halo


Gears 3 will likely sell just as much as all of those PS3 exclusives combined that Notorious mentioned so what makes you think Not having a Halo will make any difference? BTW this is the 10th year anniversary of Halo and Xbox so no Halo is unlikely and oh also Gear 1 & 2 both have over 6 million in sales a piece. While most PS3 exclusives get around 2 million or less on average. Sony`s biggest seller is GT.

Do you really think so ? Both Gears have sold 6 Million. Uncharted 2 is making it's way to 5 Million. LittleBigPlanent is at 4 Million. Killzone is at 2.5 Million. You get the picture. Unless all of these
games flop I don't see Gears outselling them combined. Individually is a different story.
