Forums - Sales - The TOP 10 selling games of 2009 will be? Non Sports and Music Genre

EDITED: Let me clarify, 1. games that are/will be released in 2009. Wii Fit and Mario Kart don't count as they were from last year.

                                     2. Only pertaining to consoles..no Pokemon for DS

                                     3. Only games that are going to be released in NA/EU..so FF 13 and Monster Hunters don't count.

 

10. Splinter Cell Conviction (X360)

09. Batman Arkum Asylum (PS360)

08. Uncharted 2 (PS3)

07. Forza 3 (X360)

06. New Super Mario Bros. (Wii)

05. Resident Evil 5 (PS360)

04. Assassin's Creed 2 (PS360)

03. Halo ODST (X360)

02. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)

01. Modern Warfare 2 (PS360)

 

Note: We already know Sports juggernauts like Madden and FIFA will sell great every year along with Music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band...so I left them out and just focus on harcore gaming. I included Wii Sports Resort because even though it is a casual game..it came out a few years after the last one and should make the Nintendo people happy :) OK..just imagine Wii Sports like its own category, just not sports.

 

So what games do you think will sell the most in 2009?



Around the Network

"Non sports and music"

Then you add Wii Sports...

Yeah, I LOL'd, but he explains what he means in his post. I'd rather he include those titles, and expand the list to 15.



It sounds more like a list of what games you want to sell the best. I'm going with:

1. Wii Sports

2. Wii Fit

3. Wii Play

4. Mario Kart Wii

5. Pokemon Platinum

6. Modern Warfare 2

7. Wii Fit Plus

8. Wii Sports Resort

9. Guitar Hero 5

10. Assassin's Creed 2

I'm probably a bit off, but I tried my best.



 

 

Around the Network

WSR, WiiFit, MKWii, NSMBWii, MW2, PkmnPlat, WiiPlay, WiiFit Plus, AC2. Not in order.



He clearly meant only 2009 launch titles. ANyone with common sense



Well I don't care about your rules! I'm a big kid, I do what I want!



 

 

Everyone keeps forgetting - Mario & Sonic @ Winter Olympics...
Not sure if it will make top#10 for the year though.

The multiplatform games that should make it:
- GH5, AC2, MW2, Harry Potter (on every platform), Madden?

I'm ignoring WiiSports. Also ignoring sales of a franchise on handhelds, so M&S doesn't get Wii + DS sales.

WiiFit has done 6m now - its in. I don't think WiiPlay or MK will make it.

WiiFitPlus is in. A lot of existing WiiFit owners will buy it, and it will take over from WiiFit as the balance board attachment sales. Depends on when its released, but it could do 10m for the year.

WS:R is easily in, and I still think will be #1. Whether it beats out all the multi-platform combined titles or WiiFit+...?

#1: WS:R
#2: WiiFit
#3: WiiFitPlus
#4: GH5 (360, PS3, Wii, PS2)
#5: WiiPlay
#6: HP (Wii, 360, PS3, PS2?)
#7: MW2 (360, PS3)
#8: Madden(?)
#9: Wii NSMB
#10: AC2 (360, PS3) / RE5 (360, PS3) - done about 4.1m now (less if you lose Japan though)

I agree, it is pointless to say "top selling games, if you exclude the top selling games." I'll answer as if the thread is just "What will the 15 top selling games of 2009 be that were released as new in 2009, then you can exclude the ones from the top sellers that don't fit your tastes.

Here's 15 and a few I hope surprise us.

1. Wii Sports Resort (Wii)
2. Modern Warfare 2 (PS360)
3. New Super Mario Brothers Wii (Wii)
4. Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
5. Rock Band Beatles (Multi)
6. Guitar Hero 5 (Multi)
7. Madden (Multi)
8. Assasins Creed 2 (PS360PC)
9. Resident Evil 5 (PS360)
10. Halo ODST (360)
11. Splinter Cell Conviction (PS360)
12. EA Sports Active (Wii)
13. Tiger Woods M+ (Wii)
14. Forza 3 (360)
15. Harry Potter (Multi)

Possibly
Batman Arkum Asylum (PS360)
The Conduit (Wii)(Maybe not, but I hope it makes it, the developer deserves it)



BAM! There it is!
