Forums - Gaming - From Yahoo: Eight Predictions for '08

I think Yahoo just copy pasted what 90% of gaming sites have "predicted", no one dares come up with something on their own. And those who do just makes asses of themselves as well...
2008 will be a year filled with games and surprises! (for some).

So, who wants pie?

 



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

What's so wrong with these predictions.

He's spot on with Nintendo's line up. We don't know it.

It has three big games coming out next year and the rest we know nothing about.

Just because we don't know much about the line-up doesn't mean that it will be bad ...



@ thekitchensink: that pie looks disgusting... :(

1. This is plausible. Sony hasn't really managed to break out of the 360's sales pattern yet, but they might. Still, I think it will take something more than some AAA titles to accomplish this feat. 360 had plenty of AAAs in 2007 only to see a modest improvement over 2006 sales.

2. I don't see how how PS3's Holy Trinity of two unproven (though promising) titles and one solid (but not quite blockbuster) franchise outweighs Nintendo's two guaranteed blockbusters and Wii Fit, which is proving its worth in Japan right now. I also don't understand how getting these titles out in early '08 is somehow weaker than Sony's late '08 release dates.

3. While Sony and MS release a new SKU every quarter, I don't see why Nintendo would release a new SKU when they're desperately trying to make enough units to satisfy current demand. Fail.

4. GTA a success? What an insightful prediction.

5. EA acquiring assets? Golly, will there be a new Madden released, too?

6. Yeah, this is where all the growth is. Grats on noticing.

7. Thank you Captain Obvious.

8. This may or may not be true. A better prediction is whether or not anybody will care either way.

So I rate these predictions to be 50% obvious, 40% wrong, and 10% whatever.
