Someone mentioned Syndicate in your voting thread, which I feel is a good shout.

Also, new numbers are up for all these games, if you're feeling dedicated :P

Was syndicate really expected to do that well though?  I mean it is a reboot but it had no hype and it would seem kind of odd putting it next to games that were all hyped in some regard. I might put it in if anybody can give me a good reason to

Well, to be honest with you, I'm not quite sure how you're measuring hype.  

I didn't feel like there was any hype around Ninja Gaiden 3 or Dead or Alive 5 but they're on your list.  There wasn't any hype around LittleBigPlanet Karting (you said so yourself in the OP), yet it appears on your list.

You didn't think there was any hype around 007 Legends, despite the fact it was releasing alongside Skyfall and ties in with the film.  Had to take a vote to convince you of that one!

EA wouldn't have revived the IP if they didn't think it had a chance of selling well, clearly it didn't.  But idk.  Your list, your choices I guess :P

what about a 10 biggest hits/unexpected sales,be nice to have some positive stuff going around to argue about

Isn't that just what I said?  People bought it because of it's name, meaning they got it because they like resident evil.  However when they play it and don't like it then it will make them second guess future installment correct?  Metacritic is just used to give you an idea of what people will think of the game.

lol alright, I'll try.  I may have to do a span of a few years though, but Ill certainly try.

i can't comment on resi 6 until i play it and i have played all resi games apart from the Wii stuff

There are multiple things I took into consideration when making this list.  Brand name, hype, expectations being the three main ones.  I don't see 007 being a big game anymore because they have ruined it years ago which is why I originally decided against it.  All it does is prove my point further, when you start to make bad games, regardless of how good one title being Goldeneye was, people will always second guess buying the next installment.
