No doubt anout it Halo 3. It can't be outsold. I think all 3 Nintendo games will outsell it life time, but in the short term like the end of this year Halo is just to quick off the line. Seeing as Gears sold 2.8M to this point I see Halo at 3+ by the end of the year. I would have said Mario, but it is not big enough in EU and I think it will not rocket out as well. It is at least 2 markets to one against Halo though so it is going to be tight.

On the PS3 I think that Heavanly Sword will sell about 1.5M and be followed by R & C 1.2M then Uncharted 700k.

 actually Gears sold almost 5 millions WW...



2008 year end sales (made in January 2008):

44.2 M 27.1 M 20.8 M

I don't think it's fair to state that Wii Play isn't a game. If the main reason for it not being considered a game is the fact that Wii Play comes with a remote, I wonder why games like Dance Dance Revolution or Donkey Konga are considered games.

On topic though, it would be between Madden (all platforms), Halo 3, and Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

This Year and only full priced games? Thats easy. Halo 3.

Halo 3 at 5.4mil. I don't count portable games and wii sports/wii play are not real games.

How are Wii Sports/Play not games?

I would personally say Wii Sports is not only a game, but an AAA title. You could fairly argue that their sales have been falsely inflated, but thats not what you argued.

 

Pokemon D/P for me.

Pokemon D/P followed by Halo 3, i wouldn't say either are system sellers though

 The biggest issue is that it includes a $40 remote and retails for $50. If a game for the Xbox 360 (lets say Forza 2) had a wireless controller and retailed for $60, you can bet that it's sales would be right up there too.

You guys are kidding.

Pokemon D/P hands down - if you count both versions.

Its already sold 9m units - and that's discounting Europe (add another 2m at least). Take out 4.4m - sold last year in Japan.

So thats 9m + 2m - 4.4 = 7.7m already. And we have the business part of the year to come. And its currently selling 90k/week in the US, 22k/week in Japan - and somewhere between 150k-200k/week in Europe. So that's another 200k/week, or almost 1m/month.

If you think Halo3 will sell 10m+ units this year... you are completely and utterly mistaken. Halo 2 only sold 8.2m units - lifetime. Pokemon already has Halo 3 beat - and easily.

Brawl will give Halo 3 a run for its money (and probably beat it), as may Galaxy. Heck - as scary as it is - there is a chance Mario Party 8 might beat Halo - its almost done 2m, and will probably reach 4m by the end of the year.
