Forums - Sales - Which of these will be the top seller of 2008 worldwide?

You're all wrong. The top seller of 2008 worldwide will be Wii Sports.



Around the Network

I see this: (note, some numbers may differ form the ones given in reasonings, because I later on have realized that the original number would be incorrect).

Wii Fit: 10M (reasoning; http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=791002)

Brawl: 9M

GTA IV 360: 7.5M
Reasoning: I believe it will maintain about a 30% AR WW, as it will have enourmous legs. Sales will therefore be around 7.5M, as I see the 360 having an installbase of around 25M.

GTA IV PS3: 7.5M
Reasoning: Ps3 owners are in desperate need of great games. They will buy GTA IV, as it is a huge game. The AR might be close to 40%, but I'll say 35%. I see the userbase at around 20-22M, so around 7.5M. I see this one finishing slightly behind the 360 one, but it will be a close call.

MK: 7.5M (reasoning for both this and Brawl: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=786871) it will finish behind both GTAs, but not by much.

MGS 4: 6.5M
Reasoning: MGS 2 "only" sold 5.56M, but I believe it had some of its sales snatched away by MGS 3, which sold 4M. As this is the last one in the series, it should manage a huge first week, and an enourmous first year, but a slow second and third year. This game is hyped like hell, and could make 7M, but I'll say 6.5M, as it also has less time out than most others.

Gears of War 2: 5.5M
Reasoning: managed a million opening WW with only 5.3M owners, and after holiday (same time out as G2) sold 3M, with 7.6M owners. Userbase has trippled, and sales should almost double! This game will be thee game to buy on 360 for christmas.

BTW where is Gears of War 2 (360)? Gears of War 2 will sell 6 million in 2008 alone. Gears of War 2 has Halo 2 numbers written all over it.
I would not be surprised if Gears of War 2 finished LTD around 8 million for its lifetime sales. Gears of war 2 on PC will also sell over 2 million.

 Gears 2 won't have Halo 2 numbers i don't think. It's too violent.

It is rated teen, isn't it? Halo's rated teen too, right? Because if they're different there, I might have to change my prediction.

I think MK Wii & GTA IV PS3 battle will be like the

SSBM & MK DD battle



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

It's a poll that has already been asked, except this time it features worse answers.

Not only that, but once again it has been around for weeks. Very disappointing.

 Yeh, they could really do a better job of making new polls

i'm pretty sure they are both rated M based on the fact that they both involve brutally murdering other people(or aliens).



the nintendo wii will outsell the ps3 and the 360 combined by the end of 2008.                           

        PS3 will out sell the 360 june 2010.                                                                      

  GOTY of 2008 is super smash brothers brawl.... hopefully.

END OF 08 PREDICTIONS:

Wii: 45 million         xbox360: 26 million       PS3: 19 million (made beginning of 08)

1. Wii Fit - 9.32m (Wii)
2. Grand Theft Auto 4 - 8.65m (360)
3. Super Smash Bros Brawl - 8.26m (Wii)
4. Grand Theft Auto 4 - 6.65m (PS3)
5. Mario Kart - 6.52m (Wii)
6. Metal Gear Solid 4 - 4.46m (PS3)

i think you might be a tad bit optomistic on gta4's(ps3) ability to outsell mario kart wii. mario kart wii has an install base more than twice the size of gta4. gta4 is being outsold by mario kart in america for the past 3 weeks and it will most likely stay that way because of the install base. tga4 is winning in others but only by a little and japan will definitely make the difference in the end. i thnk mario kart wii will win by at least 1million copies.
