Anyone else curious what games are going to be the big games this holiday? Last year we had a dozen or so shooters competing with each other and hampering each other with Battlefield 1 and Pokemon Sun and Moon selling well and CoD, Watch_Dogs 2, Watch_Dogs 2 underperforming.

What are the big holiday games this year going to be?

The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Super Mario Odyssey + Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Also Zelda Botw will probably be selling like it was a new game over the holidays.

Hopefully XC 2 sells well.XC franchise needs some love.

But talking of actual big sellers, on Switch is Mario Oddyssey, Fifa if it releases before holidays, and Pokemon on 3DS.

For MS is the usual suspects:Sports games, COD, etc.

For Sony, the same as MS, coupled with GT Sport.
Thats my take on it anyways.

Edit: On Switch, older games might get a ressurgence, simply because of the supply constrains.So Splatoon 2, Mario Kart, and Zelda might see big numbers there too.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
