Lair, Heavenly Sword, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Warhawk have all underperformed imo. I'm not sure any of those games will break 500,000. That said, I would buy Warhawk if I had a PS3. Also in terms of games for the Wii in 2008, I think Red Steel 2 will be a pleasant surprise. I respect Ubisoft and predict they will get the sequel right. Exactly, but only one problem. Didn't Capcom make Red Steel?  Nope Red Steel was Ubisoft.  You sure Ubisoft didn't just distribute it in the states? I could've sworn it was Capcom. Oh well.

Looking it up, Ubisoft Paris developed the game

Well as I demonstrated in another thread:

Wii has a larger quantity of games coming out this fall due to its larger user base. I don't see that changing in 2008. Just like all other generational leaders, Wii will have the largest game library. Also, as mentioned before Nintendo is and has always been very tight lipped about new projects.

PS3 - The "next year" console
X360 - The "right now, right here" console
Wii - The "everywhere" console

Harvey Birdman said: I still think that Sony has the best lineup in 08, MGS4, FFXIII, GT5, and White Knight Story(level 5). The 360 has a decent line up, But Sony's line up is stronger. Even 360 fans want MGS4 so to say it's not that big is an understatement. Until the rumors about MGS4 and FFXIII being Multiplatform are backed up by trusted resourses (Konami, Square Enix), not website forums with devoted 360 fans, don't believe it.I won't mention the Wii lineup because it has proven that no matter what comes out the Wii will sell. The Final Fantasy series has proven itself throughout the years as being one of the best RPG experiences of all time so why isn't FFXIII getting the respect it deserves? Is it because it's PS3 exclusive? I know the PS3 isn't selling well and there are people on these forums don't like Sony, but compared to what the PS3 has with MGS4 and so on to what the 360 has, Sony has the stronger lineup. If you add Gears of War 2, I'll add God of War 3, since both have yet to be announced.

I can't speak for everyone of course, but PS3 has the weakest line up to me. I know I'm not with the majority when it comes to MGS, but I've never understood it's popularity. I tried MGS2 and found it horribly boring. So the only ones I'm interested in are FF XIII and White Knight Story. And even at that, I think FF has gone downhill since number 7. I just keep getting them because I'm hoping that they'll be great games again. But so far, not yet, and plenty of people I know think the same way. So if I have to skip FF XIII, big deal. Oh, oh, and sorry about that scotland yard, you're right, I'm highly looking forward to Left 4 Dead too!

An f-zero wii game would sell in the 500 K to a million range as well... and there are a ton of new IP's that third parties and nintendo are looking to capitilize on...

Well LA Noire is still an exclusive for the PS3 but is DMC 4 an exclusive for one of the consloes?

 L.A. Noire has been pushed to 2009 by Rockstar.

In terms of PROVEN franchises, then sony has a bigger set up next year, at least in my mind. In terms of great games, i see them at about equal. Sony fans AND 360 fans have a great year to look forward too, and wii we dont know about, but im for sure that it will, it most likely has alot of unanounced games.

Hmm, i dont see a gears of war 2, or bioshock 2, or GOW 3 this year, possibly 2009, and 2010 for bioshock.

FF 13 is most likely 2009, and Infinite undiscovery also has a chance to be 2009, along with cry on.

No big games for the Wii in 2008? That's hard to say with hardly any known...
