what do you guys think i find this very untrue and a bit over exaggerated fanboyism in halo (does that make sense?) no is that only me? lol

and they think GOW 3 will sell more than GT5 which i find completely wrong too meh u continue and write what you think im too bored and im gonna go sleep lol :P

oh and before i go back to sleep i hope that u guys can put a list of ur own soo we can compare and contrast! :)

Rubbish. I bet several yr old Nintendo games on wii/DS will probably outsell 1/3 of those titles.

Do believe this was posted before, or I am just having deja vu. Either way, duh! halo will sell a bunch. My little brother could have figured that much.

The top 5 should all be fairly close (Halo final Fantasy, Call of Duty and Star Craft, and Grand Turismo). Final Fantasy and Grand Turismo both have the advantage of being out early in the year! I could also see New Super Mario Brothers Wii continue to sell tons and be right up in there!

I guess they underestimate the power of GT5 (assuming it delivers which I believe it can and will). Then again if we were to believe the industry speculation Wii would have been doomed from year 1 and PS3 would have been the powerhouse (although I would have loved to see that, well minus the Wii doomed part), but reality is waaaaayyy different.
