COD WAW should go platinum,, but wow thats a bold prediction saying that it might go double platinum. It all depends on how well it continues after the holidays. I don't see double platinum happening.

However I think if de blob continues it could make double platinum. Which would be awesome because we need another de blob. I'm thinking thats already in development.



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

N:CotNR sold 12k last week



i can't believe madden 08 wii outsold the PS3 version, it's kind of shocking if you were actually following it from the beginning. Even if you said that a few months ago nobody would have believed you. I actually made a thread about it 4 or 5 months ago and nobody thought it would happen.

 I think it will suprise us all, ioi already adjusted it up once, and I expect another upward adjustment. The game is still selling out, and word of mouth is very positve.

As for DeBlob 2... it is already a sure thing. THQ announced it was a success at like 300k in sales.. so that means it is already a mega success. 1 mil is just gravy. I will put in on the 2 mil list, if when it reaches 1 mil it is still sell well.

i don't think DQS is gonna make a million, Square said it had shipped 125k to america and 125k to europe last financial statement and the game had been out for quite a while. With sales dead in Japan I really think that one is dead in the water. I think it's overtracked if 770k doesn't include others.

 I am going by VGC on this, the game is sold in all stores (meaning it is at least being sold to retailers), also the game is getting a good holiday boost. Those numbers were from the last fiscal statement. VGC maybe high, but I think it has a shot.

With 26 games that have a great shot of hitting a million, early 09 will be busy with million sellers not even including new releases



some of them like Game Party 2, HSM 3, Ben10, MySims and Guiness could take a while, but they are sure fire.
