Forums - Website Topics - Biggest game of the holidays - the poll

First - isn't there usually an official thread for this??

 

Second, who here honestly voted for which they believed would be the BIGGEST game?

 

Biggest refers of course, not to the size of the physical medium, but to the number of sales of said game.

 

Now, looking at the previous entry in all the franchises.

 

MW1 = 13 million sales (plus PC version and still selling alright) and it got 31% of votes - this seems like a strong contender

Assasin's Creed1 = 8 million sales (plus PC version and I don't think it's really selling much at all nowadays) - 5.44% of the vote. Did 5.44% of people really think that this would outsell MW2? That it would outsell NSMB:Wii? Honestly

 

L4D1 = 2 million sales (plus PC version) - in one way, it's good that it got a mere 1.5% of the vote. But then you have to think, that's either 1.5% of people who did not understand the question, or deliberately gave an answer they knew to be wrong.

 

NSMB:DS = 19 million (and counting) - a strong contender, it got 22% of the vote

 

Halo3 = 10 million (and still going) sales - I doubt ODST will sell as well as Halo 3 tbh, but who knows, this one is not impossible, I would just say unlikely. 11.5% of the vote

 

Uncharted = 2.5 million sales , 28% of the vote. Again, people answering the wrong question - 600 of them this time

 

FYI, I voted for NSMB:Wii, which I think will sell less than MW2 during the Christmas period, but eventually outsell it. By end of lifetime it will beat MW2 by 1-2 million (I think MW2 will beat MW1 and NSMB:DS will beat NSMB:Wii which is why it'll be so close)

 

For those who answered any of the silly answers, I give you a follow up poll (be honest this time please :P)

 

Which question did you actually answer?

- Which game do you think is the best?

- Which game will be the smallest?

- Which game will get the highest metacritic score?

Which Game do you think deserves the highest sales?

I voted Modern Warfare, since I assume the question is asking what game will be the biggest during the holidays. I see MW2 selling a lot more at first than New Super Mario Bros, especially since it's multiplatform.



 

 

Im really not sure anymore, i would have said Modern Warefare but looking at this

Im not sure if this will effect sales, the UK is quite a big market for first person shooters.



Yeah, I was a bit uncertain which it was meaning, and I agree MW2 will certainly have the highest sales in 2009 of any of those games, probably followed by Halo. NSMB will be all about the legs



People just vote for the game they want most. LittleBigPlanet won a similar poll last year.

I voted Modern Warfare 2.



I voted for mw2, NSMB: wii will probably outsell it eventually but not during the holiday period.



Modern Warfare 2 will be #1 on xbl and psn.

I think NSMB will sell the most, but MW2 will be trailing behind closely...AC2 will be third, followed by Halo, then Uncharted and lastly L4D2. In terms of quality, it's kind of hard to compare them since it's all difference genres...but MW2 and Uncharted 2 will most likely be more critically acclaimed than the rest



I voted MW2 as I thought this was more a question on "What will sell more"
