None of these titles will flop. The worst any of them will do is maybe get a 7.5 on GS.

Skyward Sword has the highest chance of flopping, but even that chance is pretty low.

UC3 looks and feels too much like U2... I predict a, very rarely given, 8.5 from gamespot.

Skyward Sword, considering the state of the series. That and the boycott.

After finally playing Uncharteed 2 a couple of months ago, I have no clue... That sub par game managed to gain a 96 critics average... It was the final nail in the coffin for me in regards to "professional" game critics. It feels like main stream gaming has transformed for the worst and the masses have gone with the trend. I'm stuck in the now ancient seeming notion that Gameplay is far more important than cinematic appeal.

There's no chance GS will give MW3 anything below 9. They should, but they won't.

I don't see any of those games getting less than an 8.0 and if you consider that a flop you might want to consider lowering your standards a little.

True dat. That luxury vacation and free swag they gave to Black Ops reviewers totally earned the game a 9 :)

Really sad when a giant company has to pay off reviewers because their game isn't worth a decent score.

Gears of War 3 is coming out in September so I'm not quite sure how it factors into "holiday"

Skyrim has been critically lauded with E3 awards

Uncharted 3 was critically lauded with E3 awards and the multiplayer on the show floor was getting great reception, and after having played it I can say that its indeed up there with Gears, Halo, etc. in terms of originiality and the various game modes

Skyward Sword is the sequel to a game that scored 8.5's in MANY places, so it could very well get that score again, but that still wouldn't be a flop IMO

You're missing actual games being released in the holiday:

-Assassin's Creed Revelations

-Saints Row 3

-Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

-Halo Combat Anniversary

-Silent Hill Downpour

-Resident Evil Operation Racoon City

Aah,the localisation thing.That is bad news.
But do you think it will stop them from buying the newest Zelda game? I mean,it's Zelda.

Since many people are saying they are no longer supporting Nintendo products because of that. I have a pretty good (as in bad) feeling it will, alongside Nintendo's other popular IPs (Mario, Pokemon, etc).

From that list: Chance of flopping: Gears 3 (2nd already scored worse than first) > Uncharted 3 (getting stale?) > Skyward Sword (Will it fall even farther down the simplification path?) > Skyrim (These games know what they are, Skyrim seems to be a pretty big improvement. I'm really hyped for Skyward Sword though, I don't really think it will flop.

Ouch.
I'll probably get it though.It sounds so promising.

Resistance 3 will be a 7.5-8.0

It looks like such a stale series at this point.

Uncharted 3 will score a 10. 2 is already amazing in every way, and 3 is going "bigger better and more badass" (thanks Cliffy :P) and adding split screen :D :D :D Skyward Sword is the most likely to flop with an 8.5 imo.

After playing the betas for Gear s3 and Uncharted 3, I wouldn't be surprised if they both flop.

Omega-316
why do you think gears might flop? the beta was perfect. no glitch or lag. dedicated servers. and just pure improvements from the last 2 gears...

The beta didn't use dedicated servers.. Epic even said it themselves and yet people seem to think they did.

Skyward Sword = 7.5 Quote me on that.nethernova

I think Skyward Sword will be the second highest of the four if not the highest.

I don't get why people think Uncharted 3 will flop.

I'm still getting all those games I can't survive a whole gen without new Nintendo games. I almost missed out of the GCN I last only 3 years and then purchased a GCN because I couldn't live without a new Nintendo console.

Neither can I, but due to how bad that reaction was, I have a good feeling Nintendo is in trouble (a lot more than they need to be) in the US after that, and this puts their future in EVERYTHING they do in danger.

I know. First of all, the beta is a lot of fun with many improvements. I am not going to say its perfect, but guess what? That's what a BETA is for. As IGN pointed out in their hands on with it, it is not a "beta" that is actually a demo, which happens for most games lately. This really is an early beta so they can test it and alter things. Things will be ironed out, tons of features will be added, and the SP will be amazing. The game wont get anything less than a 9.0.

Even Spirit Tracks wasn't a flop, it was hyped AA and that was what it got. Twilight Princess is the ONLY Zelda game that flopped at GS.

Majora's Mask got an 8.3 at GS so that could've been considered a flop it was released just after OoT which got a 10 here.

And Majora's mask went on to be considered one of the best in the franchise. Really goes to show you how little GS's reviews mean outside of the metagame.
