Modern Warfare 2, all the way. Then, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Final Fantasy XIII gets third place because it's Japan-only, PlayStation 3-only (the PS3 doesn't even sell all that well over there compared to the portable systems) and its launching past mid-December.



NSMB Wii.



It's been a week now since this thread started and more data is available (sales ending November 28 and first week numbers for New Super Mario Bros in Japan). Based on this I expect the following outcome:

1. NSMB Wii (Having its Japanese launch included within the December numbers is a major advantage. Outside of Japan it should be able to hold its own compared to Call of Duty and Wii Fit Plus and its Japanese sales mean it can even take some damage there)
2. Wii Fit Plus (Although it got outsold by Call of Duty last week its sales are going up while Call of Duty sales are declining. Even if the decline stops in the coming weeks Wii Fit Plus should be able to overcome the gap by increasing its sales. But in the end it will be close, so it could go either way)
3. Call of Duty (Sales should remain high, but like already mentioned I think Wii Fit Plus will just sneak past it in sales for December)

Probably NSMB wii but FF XIII will sell like crazy



Long Live SHIO!

I'm going to be updating the poll soon, when I'm not so freakin' cold and it doesn't hurt to type.

I guess most people don't expect it to have very big legs, even for more than a couple weeks. And what really surprises me is that Wii Fit Plus isn't getting more votes when it's selling very steadily and could post some big numbers.

Well the problem is that NSMBWii gets a launch week in its numbers. The twol should have comparable legs for December, but NSMBWii gets a sizeable boost from the launch. Given that we now know the size of that advantage it is guaranteed to win. I am still amazed people seriously chose FFXIII. The game won't come close due being available in one region.
