Ooh, a major Western franchise will be announced to have a main series game exclusive to Wii.

Who am I kidding...?

does NBA JAM count?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I guess technically, but it's not exactly what I mean either.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

www.xnagg.com/zombieasteroids/publish.htm

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

I've got another one: EA will sell a studio or two this year. Closing studios down won't count.

I have one prediction:
3rd parties will continue releaseing games for Wii no one wants and/or not advertise them. Said games will flop and 3rd parties will blame the consumer or Nintendo



Zelda Wii will be in first person.

There will be at least one more first person swordfighter announced, for either Wii or Playstation Arc.

- SMG2 will not hurt NSMBWii´s sales in the long run

- SMG2 will have outsold SMG1 lifetime by the end of 2010

- Metroid: Other M will outsell Metroid Prime 1 (2,83 million ltd)

- NSMB Wii will be at 20mio+ at the end of 2010

- there will be 2 Rare-games for the release of Natal at the end of the year

My sales predictions are in my sig.



 

MID YEAR UPDATE

1) Wii: 84 million Possible.

2) X360: 48 million Possible.

3) PS3: 43.5 million Little too high?

4) PSP: 63 million About right.

5) DS: 155 million Little too high?

6) PS3 will outsell 360 for the year I stand by this.

7) God of War III will launch to over 800k sales. SUCCESS

8) Heavy Rain will sell under 200k first week (I want to be wrong here) I was wrong. FAILURE.

9) Halo Reach will top 3 million first week Likely.

10) NATAL will perform better than PSMotion/GEM/Whatever it's called I hope not, but advertising = probably.

11) Resistance 3 will launch in 2010's holiday season FAILURE

12) FF Versus XIII will not launch in the west in 2010 Probably right.

13) GT5 will sell around 2.5 million first week Probably right.

14) GT5 will be the highest-selling PS3 game of the year Probably right.

15) Halo Reach will be the highest-selling X360 game of the year Probably right. Will top Black Ops easily.

16) Not counting Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort will be the highest-selling Wii game of the year No. NSMBWii will obliterate it.

17) There will be another large update (like VGC 2.0) in the first half of 2010. SUCCESS

18) No PSP games will sell over 3 million units for the year. Looking likely

19) FF13 on PS3 will have outsold the 360 version 2:1 by year's end. SUCCESS. Already almost 3:1

20) The Last Guardian will be the best reviewed game in the series, going by Metacritic (91 to beat) Not 2010. n/a.

It's not too late to predict. Still a good five months of the year to go.

I would say your 84 million is a little low, though it might hit it exactly. It depends on if Wii has a significant holiday dropoff this year compared to last year, but its 72 million now, if it pulls another 10 *holiday,* that plus whatever it sells between now and October will put it over that.

 

Myself, i'm holding out for Pokemon Black and White to have 3DS versions announced for the Western releases, given that the device will be out by then and Nintendo is definitely going to want to take the opportunity while its there.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I forgot all about this. Whoops.

 

1) Wii: 84 million- 82.9 is close.

2) X360: 48 million  - 49.4 is close.

3) PS3: 43.5 million- 45.1 is close.

4) PSP: 63 million 64.8 is close.

5) DS: 155 million 143.6. Oh dear.

So, pretty close on all hardware, except DS.

6) PS3 will outsell 360 for the year Not by a huge amount, but yes.

7) God of War III will launch to over 800k sales. Beat that in NA alone. 1.26M overall.

8) Heavy Rain will sell under 200k first week (I want to be wrong here) I was wrong. 526K. Awesome.

9) Halo Reach will top 3 million first week Over 4 million; beat Halo 3. Well done there.

10) NATAL will perform better than PSMotion/GEM/Whatever it's called Kinect did outsell Move, quite significantly. *sigh*

11) Resistance 3 will launch in 2010's holiday season Nope. One digit off.

12) FF Versus XIII will not launch in the west in 2010 Duh.

13) GT5 will sell around 2.5 million first week 2.2 million, not bad.

14) GT5 will be the highest-selling PS3 game of the year Nope, Black Ops. It outsold Halo: Reach, somehow.

15) Halo Reach will be the highest-selling X360 game of the year Nope, Black Ops.

16) Not counting Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort will be the highest-selling Wii game of the year Nope, NSMBWii. But WSR was third.

17) There will be another large update (like VGC 2.0) in the first half of 2010. Unfortunately, yes.

18) No PSP games will sell over 3 million units for the year. Wow, Monster Hunter Freedom 3.

19) FF13 on PS3 will have outsold the 360 version 2:1 by year's end. Quite safely, yes. 4.44 to 1.70 million.

20) The Last Guardian will be the best reviewed game in the series, going by Metacritic (91 to beat) Not yet decided, but I'm sure it will be correct.

I'll add more later Wrong.
