Easy game ... Just guess which game will bomb hard in the chartz this year. It has to be a "nuclear bomb" so must be pretty ... massive! I think that the nuclear bomb of they year will be heavy rain ... The game will be good IMO but definitly too "weird" for the majority of the gamerz. It will be like a "ICO" game: great reviews, will be loved by "pure" hardcore gamers, but will definitly have poor sales. I also think that quantic dreams will go on multiplat after that.

I agree about Heavy Rain. Decent reviews (80%) but Lair sales.

Deadly Creatures... :(

Agreed on Deadly Creatures unfortunately. The boxart has a disctinct "sub-par" feel to it. Plus, I think Sin & Punishment 2 will bomb hard, much like Nights - few people really know the game. It's gonna need some amazing advertising, because outside Japan and VC it's essentially a new IP.

Yeah but deadly creatures isn't really hyped so it cannot be a massive bomb imo...

You didn't say it needed to be hyped. A game still can bomb with no hype. Plus, I think Deadly Creatures is quite a hyped Wii game.

Yeah but I'm talking about nuclear bomb, massive bomb, etc ... Bomb of the year!

I knew you would be there CGI

Well first of, lemme talk about haze: yeah it's a terrible game but it has decent sales because:
- Exclusive game + hype
- FPS!!! Very popular right now

Heavy rain is in its own category, pretty hard to say what type of game it is. As I said before, I think the game will be good-great-amazing and I'll probably buy it cause I really love "weird" games but what do we have this year around november-december? Modern warfare 2, uncharted 2, ratchet tools of destruction 2, maybe GOW3 and GT5 ... I don't see heavy rain being able to "exist" between all of those games.

Finally, if I said it will be an "epic fail" (in terms of sales) that's because of the hype. Even if the game finish its life with decent sales (700-800k), it will be considered as a nuclear bomb because of the hype IMO, like LBP.

360 - Alan Wake, for some reason I feel it will not be as awesome as we want it to be.
