Forums - Gaming - what game is gonna FLOP this winter?

Little Big Planet.



Around the Network

Golden Axe, DeadSpace, Fracture, Mirror's edge to start.

Those games have terrible release dates and will be facing very tough competition...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Fable 2, Gears 2, sales will be massively huge.Xbox owners basically live for those 2 games and Halo. Little Big Planet will sell over a million life time cause of the massive bundling. Their basically giving the game away for free. Will music may flop, but I dont understand the Wii demographic even though I have one.



I will say MotorStorm 2. I've played the demo and think it is a good game, but I don't think it will sell nearly as well as the first. The first MotorStorm was bundled in some regions and did not have any competition. MotorStorm 2 will be competing directly with Pure, which is a strong title.

Another possibility is Socom. I think it may get lost in the mix of great games being released. If Resistance 2's multiplayer is as good as they say, Socom may be in trouble.

Honorable mentions: Mirror's Edge and Call of DutyWW(compared to COD4)



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

BK3 for sure.

Most likely Dead Space.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

Episode 1: OOPSY!

: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
Episode 2:
Letsdance: FFXIII (PS3+360) first week in NA = 286K
According to pre-order rate in week 13 (post id: 2902544)

I think Resistence 2, Gears 2, Fallout 3, LBP, and COD5 Will all be epic flops.

Why? Wiimusic. It is as simple as that.

The gaming industry will be caught on fire by WiiMusic and it will dominate the holidays. It will sell 12 million by Dec 31st, and go on to sell another 20 million lifetime. I do not think you guy realize what Nintendo has going for it here.

Wiimusic = Hardcore gaming as we know it killer... or The HGAWKIK!!!!

Yes Wiimusic is the HGAWKIK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

 

Wii Muisic will "flop" based on your definiton specified later in the thread.



wii music

November is not in winter, it is in autumn. I am inclined to say Killzone 2 is going to flop this winter. If it releases in February as expected, it will fall into the winter category.

 

 if killzone 2 flops, i'll eat my hat

 

so basically now that you know it won't flop...wii music will, well i should say ratings wise, sales will be fine

I don't know about the rest, but I can guarentee you Motorstorm 2 won't fail because of Pure. It's a good game and all, but it has nothing, NOTHING on Motorstorm.

OT: Gears of War 2...

 

seriously, LBP probably. Expectations are waaaaaay too high for it to even come close to meeting them. It will sell well, perhaps very well, but not to the standards people are laying on it. Also, I think Fable II will dissapoint with sales while still being a solid game.

 



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
