Got a keen eye for the future? Post your thoughts on how 2010 will pan out in this thread!

Next year is looking to be the biggest of the generation and probably the last before we really start hearing about the next generation, or is it?

I'll start with a few prediction for each of the big three (alphabetical order), feel free to make your prediction in any format you like and bets with others are welcome ;)

Microsoft

• The XBOX 360 will be down YoY
• Natal will be priced at $49.95
• All XBOX 360 consoles will be bundled with Natal with no price increase
• Natal will boost 360 sales through the holidays 
• Halo Reach will sell at Halo 3 levels but will not move much hardware
• Gears of War 3 will not be seen
• 360 will be revised (smaller, lighter, etc) to coincide with Natal launch 
• Mass Effect 2 will be GOTY contender
• Alan Wake will be solid but won't bring much new stuff to the table

Nintendo

• The Wii will be down YoY 
• There will be no mention of a Wii redesign/WiiHD
• WiiRelax with Vitality Sensor will be a big hit worldwide with advertising focused on the stresses of day to day life
• Wii GOTY will be either Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Retro Studios new title
• The DS will be down YoY
• All DS models will receive a price drop
• Nintendo will mention that the next DS is in development
• Nintendo's E3 will be the best since E3 2006 with the unveiling of Retro's new title and Zelda Wii for release in 'Spring 2011'
• Red Steel 2 will turn out to be what everybody wanted the original to be

Sony

• The PS3 will be level or up slightly YoY
• PS3 will have the best year in terms of Metacritic scores
• Resistance 3 will be much better than R2 but will sell a similar amount and be the final Resistance title
• Killzone 3 will be revealed with a vague 2011 release date
• GT5 will launch in May in the west and become the highest selling PS3 title 
• GT5 will boost hardware significantly in Europe and Others
• PS3 will see another price drop before the holidays
• Gem will work exactly as Sony claims but a lack of support will cause it to have a slow launch, better sales in Others
• Sony announce Paid PSN service, multiplayer gaming still free for most games
• The PSP will be down significantly YoY
• Sony will announce that they are working on a PSP2 for release in 2011
• The PS2 will have its final viable year in 2010

I predict Starraft 2 to be the highest selling game if it releases early on in the year.

^ I like this thread better:p

I predict Starcraft 2 to be the most pirated game ever.

Oh yeah, especially if it's going to be one game per race campaign..

These are just sales predictions...right?

plz don't remind me

These are terrible predictions :P

Also as the other thread was in the sales forum (and I didn't think to check there) mine is for things other than sales :P

And it would still probably sell the most.
