Ghostbusters seems to be looking better and better every day and I'm definitely going to be buying it. It looks like a top quality game that wasn't thrown together quickly (like most movie based games). The graphics and physics look very well done and I'm expecting a high 80's early 90's score from Metacritic and Game Rankings.

So here's my prediction

Xbox 360: 2.5 million

PS3: 1.75 million

Wii: 1 million

PS2: 750K

DS: 500K

Total: 6.5 million

I doubt it will sell near Fable 2 on the 360

I'm looking at:
360: 800k
PS3: 575k
Wii:1 million (I think it will be more popular with much older consumers/"casuals")
DS: 225k

No research done here,but yea.

Ghostbusters may be 25 years old but the No Ghost symbol is still easily one of the most recognized and loved symbols in the world.

And I'm not going to comment on anything sales, but I will point to these just because I can.

I won't predict sales but I'll predict that Wii will see the most sales for it, not initially, but in time due to legs.

I would be up for a signature bet that the ratio of Wii:PS2 sales you have there will be very wrong. The Wii version will sell much more than the PS2 version

anyone know when this game will be released? I hope the ps3 makes it a hybrid br so I have the game and 1 of the movies!

Wii may have an older generation of gamers but thee are casual and will they be able to play a hardcore game?

360 players are hardcore and they love shooters, wouldn't it be more logical for the game to sell well on the home of shooter consoles?

Ghostbusters is pretty well known amongst the hardcore gamers I don't see that being an issue and if the reviews are 8+ then I predict the following:

360: 2million
Ps3: 1.5 million
Wii: 500k
