Pretty much Monster Hunter Tri, Crystal Bearers, Red Steel 2, and Darkside Chronicles (hey, the original did quite well)

Yeah Red Steel 2!

I don't think Red Steel 2 will sell well at all. It's a FPS with no multiplayer. It will have a decent opening but no legs at all.

Darkside Chronicles should sell well, but that's about it for third party games.

I think ToG, RE: DC Red Steel and FF:CC

DQ X (just off Japan sales, it can flop everywhere else and still do huge numbers)

Dragon Quest X is a big one. I think Chrystal Chronicles should do decently.

But since "flop" is in the title, this should be most of them. Wii games don't cost a lot, and it's mostly big series that get the big budgets.

Dead Space didn't do anything super-fantastic on the HD twins: 0.82 million on the X360 and 0.67 on the PS3. I don't expect it to get any higher than numbers like that.

Now as for 3rd party hardcore games that WILL sell well:

Red Steel 2
Monster Hunter 3
Guitar Hero 5
No More Heroes 2
Gladiator AD

Guitar hero 5 indeed.
I would call it more casual tho.

Monster Hunter, Guitar Hero, and Resident Evil are mainstream series, not hardcore. Hardcore would be something that is made specifically for nerds, such as Dungeons and Dragons, magic cards, Doom, or some sort of pornography game.

I'm really beginning to hating the term 'Hardcore'. It has lost any meaning, if it even had any meaning to begin with.
