@Ail Actually they probably will, 20 million plus is very likely for both games.

Yes, but like you pointed out, there's one per year, with about six years in a gen, so its limited, With Nintendo you get a bunch that keep on generating revenue, much less limited, which explains why Nintendo profits are so much higher than Activisions.

I disagree, I think both will have troubles going over 15 millions...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Well imagine Activisions profits if they didn't have Blizzard? You could pretty much take 40% to 50% (depending on if they're released an expansion pack or not) of their profits away. Blizzard is the real money spinner at Activision.
