Forums - Sales - What Will Be The Biggest Selling Game of 2009?

Like it or hate it i can't really see any game selling more than Wii Sports Resort.

Call of Duty 6 could if it sold really well and WSR didn't.

PS3's install base will still be too small to give GT5 the sales it deserves and likely it won't arrive until right at the end of the year anyway.

It is sad that the Wii has to ruin everything but what can you do? lol

Wii-Sports resorts will sell 10m units at least



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii

games like Killzone 2 or Gran Turismo 5 stands no chance against wii monsters.

=)



GT5/ FF.. and the regular slew of nintendo titles.



Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

I have to say Mario Kart Wii. It hasn't been out for a year and it's sales are incredible. The best selling game to be released in 2009 might be Wii Sports Resort.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

Wii Sports Resort (although a lot of this depends on the release dates)

Call of Duty 6

Guitar Hero 5

Halo: ODST

Gran Turismo 5

A lot of factors are involved, and a lot of release dates are unknown. I'm going to guess Call of Duty 6 (yes, I called it that) but I have no way of knowing.

I'll go a less popular route.

Wii Fit or Mario Kart Wii will be the best-selling game of this year.

Damn! I was thinking about those two, but they slipped off my mind when I was thinking of Gran Turismo 5. Okay then, it will be Wii Play.

 

Fine then. I'll bet you that Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii outsell Wii Play for the year of 2009.

You all are forgetting about the biggest game of 2009: The Sims 3.

The Sims 3 will sell over 15 million copies, as usual.

Then we have Starcraft 2, which should sell over 10 million copies.

Then, if we're lucky, Diablo 3 will get released in 2009 and sell over 14 millions copies.


C'mon guys, no one even mentioned those 3 juggernauts of PC games.



@ Kantor why are you putting COD so low on your list for PS3? COD Modern warfare is the 2nd best selling game on the PS3.

I wonder how RE5 will do, thats got the chance to sell some serious numbers if they do it right.



Tease.

Well as shio said the Sims 3 will take it easily

Wii Sports Resorts for separate consoles and overall Modern Warfare 2 (duhhhhhh)
