Why include it in your options in the OP and then act shocked if someone picks it? If you don't think it has a shot, why even list it?

I'm expecting maybe 4 million this year.


I think its going to sell well, i even have it in the OP lol. How am I shocked?

Halo MCC, partly because I'm biased.

3DS has a 44m install base, possibly around 50 by the end of the year. Not really sure it is fair to compare a handheld console with cheaper games that has been around since what 2010? compared to consoles that has been on the market for less than a year, and well the wiiu for a little longer.

As for home consoles TitanFall, Halo, LittleBigPlanet, and Mario Kart are the big ones. You also have games like Sunset Overdrive, Forza horizon, and smash bros specifically that will do really well. 

Id bet on Halo or Mario Kart. I do believe Xbox One will be more popular during the holidays but Mario Kart will have been around longer giving it the edge. Wont predict but ill say one of them.

Then again TitanFall is already closing in on 2m as well so there is that as well.

Then you have LBP and InFamous.  They may not be as big as Mario Kart or Halo but they also have the fact that PS4 is more popular than Xbox One and WiiU


Thats why i excluded pokemon. MH4G wont do 2.5mil (japan only) and YW2 should do 1mil-2mil. Only SSB for 3DS has a chance to be the highest selling exclusive but wiiu version comes out right after and its first time on HH.

Like you said, plenty of 3mil+ sellers there



Knack, I can feel it.

Just a little funny is all. You picked it as one of your choices and then tried to convince me Smash would sell more.

I think they both have potential to sell really well, but Halo is a popular Xbox shooter and will definitely sell a few million minimum. Smash is a bit different, the last one wasn't on handheld right? So difficult to make a comparison, and with it later releasing on Wii U as well some people may hold off.

Either one could sell the most, I just think Halo is the safer bet at the moment.


Yeah but im making discussion and i didn't say "It will" i said "I think". Was never correcting you, wanted to hear your thoughts which you just posted now

Though Halo can outsell it as SSB has never been on HH and i dont kno how much it'll do overall, Halo has X1  userbase which can hinder it to sell lets say 5mil this year. X1 should be 10mil-12mil by years end. But then again Halo is MS biggest franchise.

SSB can do anywhere between 2mil-6mil by years end. Just really depends!

Even then 3DS shouldnt be included at all including Smash Bros and Monster Hunters. Im just saying its simply not fair given the length of time each console has been out and price differences widely range from one another(hardware and software).

The top selling games are on Consoles this year despite 3DS userbase  http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly/2014/Global/

Only Kirby + Pokemon xy have done well. But i do get your point. MH4G wont be as high as you think, only SSB (thats if its huge) on 3ds and pokemon OR/AS will do well (3mil+). If we dont include HH, then Halo + MK looks to take the prize. Maybe SSB but its realising late and it'll be a leg game!



I think you are slightly overestimating the sales of Pokémon OR/AS. Remakes usualy don't sell as much as a new gen. X/Y did incredibly well partly because of the new 3d graphics (and obviously it's pokémon). It sold 11mil atm. OR/AS will clearly sell less than that. The thing is that they will only have 2months (november/december) to sell units for the year. It will sell around 5mil at most. (I know I'll be picking up a copy :D)

Back on topic, I think MK8 will win. It's already standing at 2mil, the best selling exclusive of the year atm. The thing with MK8 is that it will keep selling healthy amount of units all year. It will have a big boost on the holidays, I even expect it to go back in the top 10 despite the game being half a year old. If it's bundled it will be a given.

Halo has a shot. But I don't think smash does. Smash on 3DS will sell really well but less than the WiiU version. And the launch of WiiU's smash will bring a boost of WiiU hardware bringing a boost in MK8 units (even more if it's bundled). So despite Smash doing really well, it will only help MK8 solidify it's head start over all other games.
