Mass Effect will be GOTY

I doubt that. Mass Effect launched in 2007.

Harware predictions already sigged. About sofware, let us see...

I think God of War III will be the best-selling game in the series by quite a margin. It will do over 5m when all it's said and done.
Final Fantasy XIII will fail. Less than 4m in the West.
Gran Turismo 5 will sell over 10m, and Halo: Reach will sell around 8m.
Metroid: Other M will be a failure.
Heavy Rain and Alan Wake will be both failures. The titles will have legs but hardly will go above 1m.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 will sell about the same as it's predecessor.
Zelda Wii will fail. Around 600k on Japan plus 3m in the West.

We'll see Mario Kart Wii Plus being announced at E3 2010. It will sell gangbusters.
Another titles will be announced at E3, including GTA 5 and Killzone 3.
Sony will announce PSP-2 to release in Japan this holiday and next year in the west. Nintendo will unveil the DS-2. Spring 2011 in Japan and Fall 2011 release anywhere else.
Natal will be X360's sucessor. It will feature a similar hardware, about the same as GC->Wii transition.

Would you care to make a wager?

I'll be merciful and spare you from the shame to come by declining your offer.

no it won't, it lauched too early. Remember SF4 and it's 9.4 meta.

I'll bet control of my avatar for a year against control of yours for a month.

@psrock: Listen, I'm not as qualified to speak on that stuff

You don't know that NATAL is not a console, come on.

FFXIII will fail? you don't know about that.

It's more likely that a Zelda will sell 3.6 million than Ninty launching a new handheld in 2011.

@ Kantor - Gow I & II are one of the most pirated titles to ever release. I expect a large boost from Others as PS3 is unhackable. I expect both HH and AW will be buried by the ealry 2010 avalanche which MW2 is to blame.
But maybe I'm understimating Zelda Wii potential in the Americas? mmm. This could possibly hack up my prediction by a million or so. Still the series are dropping in Japan like a rock, so it is hard to say, honestly...

Oh, and there is no reason to keep a console like the PSP running, honestly. The DS will still be selling heaps, but Nintendo will release it's sucessor to avoid early PSP-2 domination which is quite dangerous. You should expect them to have learned the N64/GC lesson by now.

Still this is going the way I like. The predictions are daring and polemical. May the fishs keep coming!
