I am hoping for FinalFantasy XIII

Oppse, forgot the 5th. thanks.

Yea Ill go with CoD7 (for lack of a better option)

Im going for Gran Turismo 5 here.

When 500k people are playing a p2p MMORPG it is already considered a major success. There are only like 4 or 5 p2p MMORPGs with 500k+ subscribers. I am basically expecting OR to become another one. But comparing it to Halo is nonsense.

It should also be noted that there was already a high-quality Star Wars MMORPG that has failed to achieve success. Star Wars name wont be of much help for OR.

It's gonna be tough for any game to pass up halo:reach numbers. The only one that has a chance is GT5, but with Natal set to launch at the same time I don't see anything that can stop this game.

gt5 is number 1 god of war 3 has a chance of bieng number 2 or maybe even number 3 and halo reach number 3. I am not putting in cod because i am only counting in exclusives

and plus ps3 also has gem which looks very succesfull

I don't know if your going by sales or quality, but overall respectable predictions.

I'll list my games that sales-wise could beat Halo Reach

1. Call of Duty 7 - I agree with you on this one. It all depends on the setting and quality of game of course. If its another WWII shooter then it won't beat Reach. But if its something new like Vietnam or Modern/Future then it could beat Reach

2. Gran Turismo 5 - I don't know, maybe it's taken so long to come out that people won't care anymore, but hopefully I'm wrong and it will do really well.

3. Final Fantasy 13 - I again agree with you on this one, but just like with GT5 did it take too long to come out?

4. Agent - You can't possibly discount a Playstation exclusive Rockstar games title. You just can't.

5. Mario Galaxy 2 - Will probably get 10 million sales

6. Next "Wii series" game - I don't know what it'll be, maybe Wii Fit 3, Wii Sports 3, Wii Play 2, etc. But these games sell well.

7. Gears of War 3 - It should sell a solid 5 million units. With a huge "finish the fight" type advertising campaign for the last game in the trilogy it could do 6 or 7 million, who knows?

8. Grand Theft Auto 5 - I don't think it'll be out in 2010, but if it is...oh yeah, you know.



Well that's my list.

RE: Red - Sorry, I meant that as an opinion, not fact.  But I thoroughly believe it will be.  I was an idiot and thought that Pachter saying MW2 would sell 10 million this holiday was retarded, but I failed to acknowledge how powerful of a franchise that is THIS GEN.  Halo as well has proven that it is a VERY powerful franchise THIS GEN.  In fact, with the exception of the Wii games that haven't necessarily been 'franchised', CoD:MW, Halo and GTA are THE mega franchises.  So when one of those comes out during any year, it deservedly gets a pass.  I stand by it even before the first look in 2 days.

RE: Blue - I'm sorry, but I can't by into install bases not mattering.  Console makers have for too long promoted the importance of an install base and math tells you that the more consoles there are out there then the more potential software purchasers you have out there to promote to.  2nd and 3rd place consoles typically haven't had a lot of software that sells 9 million+ (. . . isn't the 360 the first one?). 

RE: Green - True, but its all we have to go by right now.  That and the reality that the PS3 currently has only ONE game that has sold over 5 million and it is a previous PS powerhouse franchise that has sold just over half of its worse selling counterpart from last gen (sorry, that was a mess of a sentence).  And, while GT is a powerhouse franchise as well, previous version did get a number of sales from being a pack-in and that's something that Halo hasn't ever really been in a significant way, particularly not this gen.

BTW, I like the color coded response format.  You should patent that!

But Pokemon Gold/Silver is a 2009 game, not a 2010 game so can you really count it? I bought a copy of Silver for my gf this past September.

Also @ people saying FF13, that too is a 2009 game right? It comes this month here in Japan.
