Forums - Sales - what game will sell the most this year(worldwide)

TWRoO on 21 August 2007

PICROSS DS.

no really, definately pokemon.

shams, i dont see how galaxy and brawl will beat halo, dont they both release in november [and probably not till 08 here in Eu] I'm sure both will outsell Halo lifetime, but Halo will sell 2-3 million before the christmas rush. and probably make 4 mil before 08.

definitely pokemon. Wiisports couldn't beat it when DS already got 46M+ install-base.

Both could sell 2-3m in Japan this year. Halo may sell 150-200k.

I think Galaxy should hit 4-5m by the end of the year (WW) - maybe not Brawl, esp. if it doesn't hit Europe this year (at least 3-3.5m in US & Japan).

I know the install base is different - and its a handheld - but NSMB did almost 2m in its first month in Japan.

(and just checked - Smash Bros Melee did about 800k in 5 weeks leading to Xmas - but that was the GC, this is the Wii...)

WiiSports is a bit unfair, as its a free-pack in the US & Europe. It should "ship" 10m+ this year. Its almost like counting the "Mii Channel" as a game ;)

WiiSports will do well in Japan - but not #1 with DQIX hitting.

Ok. Not Wii Sports then. I was counting Pokemons as separate games, but if they are count as one, then definately Pokemon D/P. No doubt.

Super Mario Galaxy won't start slower than Halo. It will have an immediate attach rate of at least 25 %, maybe 30 % or 35 %. That happened with all Super Mario titles down to New Super Mario Bros on the DS.

Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine started slow because there was no big installed base, but there will be 16-19 million Wii owners by the end of the year, so I'm pegging Galaxy at 4 million minimum for this year with potential up to 6.5 million. With that it has a good chance to outsell Halo 3. Super Smash Bros Brawl won't be out in Europe this year and therefore has no chance to come out on top.

And surprisingly, a lot still depends on the quality of each of these games.



Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.

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

I don't count FPS games either so it can't be Halo 3 and the 360 isn't a real console.

*insert rollseyes smiley*



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

Halo 3 will be the best selling for 2007.

I don't think you can count Wii sports as in USA and Europe it's not a free chopice to buy it or not but Wii play should be counted despite it coming with controller.

Pokemon if you count handhelds, Halo if not cuz I don't think SMG is out in all regions this year.

Whats's Nintendogs at this year so far?
