If I recall correctly Pokémon Shuffle is already around 5M downloads on the Play Store (I believe it's at 4/5M on the 3DS too) so I think Pokémon GO likely beeing an overall better game that most likely will be heavily advertised on TV (people speculate that they'll show off Pokémon GO actual footage during the Pokémon Superbowl commercial) I think it can EASILY do some stupidly high sales within 2016, something along the lines of 25M...

I think Horizon Zero Dawn is going to enormous for Sony, it seems like the kind of setting that will have a lot of appeal. It will likely have a similar level of depth and scale to The Witcher 3, which has been very popular this year, only HZD has a more accessible setting, being that it's sci-fi, robotic animals and post apocalyptic in nature, with a lot of crafting.

I think Ratchet & Clank will also do really well, with the film coming. Kids and adults who are young at heart will eat that up IMO.

:/ I feel the opposite about HZD, I think it will either be a great game that just a few people will pick up or an extremely unpolished title that will sell milions cuz big mech dinosaurs, most likely the first one...

I have been thinking about this the past week so your not alone with it, The core Xbox fans generally love love Halo but outside that others don't generally care for it (or at least pretend they don't) but from opinions of friends and seeing posts and poeple speaking about Gears/Halo on forums that they are more likely to buy a X1 for Gears of War 4 than Halo 5. So since the core Xbox fans will already end up buying the next Gears of War 4 + other console owners gettign there second or third console for/around Gears of War 4 release could mean a lot more sales.

I'm talking Halo 5 2015 vs Gears of War 4 2016 sales, Lifetime I still think Halo 5 will win.

 

I was actually about to do a thread about this! But I got tired and went to bed... lol.

 

Do it now! :P



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Nah. Not until E3. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
