Alan Wake will not flop. Everything about that game just oozes success. Remedy has on purpose been silent to keep the mystery surrounding it. It's an action-adventure game with a cinematic thriller/horror theme, not a niche game at all.

It will sell at least 2.5 million copies.

dude seriously find another hobby besides gaming !!!

Wait. You want Nintendo's core games to fail, while their casual games keep flourishing, and you think this will get them to make more core games? Dude...

i repeat, we know far too little about alan wake. stop pretending that we actually know what kind of game it really is.

I agree, but you're basically putting out a sign that says "FANBOYS!!!! LOOK AT THIS!!!1!"

I agree with Alan Wake and Heavy Rain.

Also in a way God of War will flop. Like yeah it'll sell 1 million minimum, but it won't be the mega system seller people seem to think. They sold great on PS2 but not huge numbers.

Wii Sports Resort depending on how you look at it could be a flop. It'll sell well, don't get me wrong, but the sales will prove that Wii Sports only sold so well because of the bundle it had. I expect no more than 5 million which is still a ton, but that's only 1/8 or so of the first one's sales.

Also Forza 3 for the same reason as Wii sports resort will flop. I guarantee if you go to a Gamestop you will see 10+ copies of Forza 2 that have been returned. People only have it because they got it bundled with their system! I think Forza 3 will flop hard. It'll do about 1.5 million, and 3/4 of those sales are from Europe/Others.

I do not think Punch Out is for Core Gamers, it is for those casuals who enjoyed with wii sports boxing and now want a little more.
Super Smash Bros Brawl or Metroid Prime 3 Corruption are games only for traditional gamers, that's what I want.

Otherwise, I am really looking forward to Heavy Rain and Alan Wake, they are lookin impressive, I expect them not to flop.
