Man of my classifications are off, let me know if there are any glaring errors of games that should be moved up or down. Basically I tried to weight games based on 1/3 how well they should sell, 1/3 based on how "big budget" they are, and 1/3 based on quality.

I think these will be the top-selling games for the 3 systems in all territories during the holidays. I am not going to count multi-plats, since that is kind of a waste of time:

PS3 (in no particular order):

Uncharted
Heavenly Sword
Singstar PS3
Ratchet and Clank
Unreal Tournament 3
Warhawk

360 (in no particular order):

Halo 3
Lost Odyssey
Mass Effect
Bioshock
PGR4

Wii (in no particular order):

Smash
Super Mario Galaxy
Metroid Prime
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles
(third party stuff is harder to predict, so I don't even know about Resident Evil)



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

I'm still on the fence about RE:UC, I have trouble seeing that one sell one million+.



I think Mass Effect and Bioshock will each sell over a million.



Where Metroid at!?

Sorry for only posting the 360 Games, it was a pain looking through Gamespot, thanks Akuma for filling in :) I agree for most part.

Although I think Bioshock is going to do so-so. I just can't imagine it selling a Million copies. Hopefully in the half million rnage, but I think overall its not going to be as successful as it should be.

 Not in Japan, it won't.



No doubt that Record of Agarest War will be the hottest game.
