1) Haze - Flop? 500k-1m

2) MGS - Hit

3) LBP - HIT! - 2m+. I am reading this forum for a while and I honestly think that 80% of PS3 owners on this site want this game. And you could say they are "hardcore"... It's the same as in other forums... This game will also be severely advertised before christmas...

4) KZ2 - Hit, not as big as R2

5) RFOM2 - Hit

6) GTA4 - The biggest selling game (revenue) of this generation, until GTA5 arrives.....

PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

i think all will have at least 80%+ reviews. but i also think that haze and lbp may struggle to get to 800k+ in sales. the increased fanbase may help lbp in september, and also for haze. imagine the sales of this game if it were released in november?

I don't know why people are saying PS3 owners are the wrong audience for LBP. R&C has sold over 1M copies, there will be a bigger user base when LBP comes out, it will be more heavily advertised then R&C. It should sell over 1M. How much do you need to sell to not be called a flop?

Haze: 800K - 1.2M. Not a huge success, but not a flop either. Average/good.

MGS4: 5 - 6M. A huge success. Hit.

LBP: 1M+. Could be a huge hit with long legs, but it is hard to say. Hit.

Killzone 2: 1.8 - 2.5M. Hit.

Resistance 2: 2.4 - 3.2M. Amazing online will make this stand out from the crowd. Hit.

GTA4: 7.5 - 8.5M What can I say. Hit.

Possible flops (sub-million sellers), Haze (relatively low profile, looks like fun though) and LittleBigplanet (Looks great, but is the PS3 the platform of choice for platformer fans before a slimline PS3 and a new Jak & Daxter arrives?).

The others are IMO destined to become megahits, judging from what I've seen and know so far.

Top sellers: GTA IV and Metal Gear Silod 4
Runners up multi-million sellers: Resistance 2 and Killzone 2.

Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

definitely flop: haze
posibly flop: killzone 2 because they hypeing this game as a new halo 1 and those high expectations will probably fail and we will see just better killzone 1 but not a really good game.

Dude learn to spell and your a troll,KZ2 is not setting out to kill Halo that was KZ1.KZ2 looks to be on par with COD 4 as far as FPS's go and adds elements that will make it stand out such as graphics and the gameplay.GG has been hard at work on this game and wont disappoint by rushing it out like KZ1.

I think Motorstorm: Pacifica deserves a mention within this list, afterall the first game still has the highest attach ratio of all PS3 games so far.

I don't think Haze has impressed game review sites, it looks ok though, so it wont be a flop, but wont be ahit.

Although Killzone 1 wasn't that good, Killzone 2 looks amazing.

Biggest name there though is MGS4.

PS3 is catching up with the shooting genre this year.
