Forums - Gaming - Predictions For 2010

I would change my DS prediction in light of everyone thinking that it's ridiculous, but that wouldn't be DARING.

EDIT: Also note that my original Wii prediction for 2009 was 67 million. Everyone said I was an idiot, and it was WAY too low. I changed it to 77 million. Some people STILL said "too low!". It sold 65 million.

My prediction ended up being 72 million, but I made it back in October of '08 so I think I have a good excuse.



God of War 3 will sale more the first week , atleast 1.5 million, The wand, or Gem will perform better then Natal.

I made mine in December of 2008. When the Wii was selling gangbusters, I remained level-headed. Trouble is, everyone doing that was labelled a WII HATER.

You were quoted on the first page, your original prediction was 69mill. Anyway, what was your reasoning, that the Wii fad was over?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

My UnReal Predictions For 2010

Zelda Wii:

This game will change the action adventure RPG genre as we know it, it will attract the casuals to this genre at last with new techniques & fantastic innovations it uses!

Sales -- 10 Million LTD, if released around holidays 5 Million for 2010 with the best legs a zelda game has ever had

Reviews -- All reviewers will feel threatened by the direction the zelda series takes or absolutely frikkin amazed by it, it will get a score of either 98 or 89 on metacritic

 

Final Fantasy Versus XIII:

This game will go multiplat at E3, an xbox 360 version will be announced!

Sales:

If it sees a worldwide launch in 2010 -- 3 Million PS360 combined -- Biggest sales disappointment ever for square-enix

 

Modnation Racers:

This game will get stellar reviews, it will be only 2nd to Uncharted 2 in terms of high ranked PS3 exclusives with a metacritic of 95

Sales:

The game will shock & awe with constantly good sales, if released around holidays -- 3 Million, released in summer -- 4 Million

LTD sales = 9 Million!

 

EDIT: last line destroyed by request of the OP!

I never said "fad". I just said that the Wii wasn't going to suddenly get this huge gain in popularity.

"Predictions for _" is a brand name. Plus, your thread didn't even hit two pages, and it's been dead for weeks, so I'm in the clear
