you are biast and very wrong. The 360's games will not compare to Wii game sales. Even though i hate to say it its true. I would say
1. Super Mario Galaxy2. Supersmash Brothers Brawl3. Halo 34. Mass Effect5. I want to say Unreal Tournament III (my favorite game, but its not multiplat by then (for 360) so i doubt it)

You're the biased one. Even if the Wii surpasses the 360 in sales before Xmas, the 360 has a far higher attach rate for games meaning more people buy more games. Wii will have alot of games sold, but 360 is likely to sell more games this holiday.

my predictions:

1. Halo 3- 5.3 million

2. GTA- 3 million

3. Mario Galaxy- 2.5 million

4. Madden- 2 million

5. Smash Bros- 1.8 million

If you are talking world wide and not just the US...I would have to say

1. SSBB comes out the same month

2. Halo 3 "Because it only sells well in the US"

3. GTA

4. Mario

5. Mario/Sonic game

I did not list Madden because it only does well in the US also.

Madden 08 = 7 million

GTA IV = 7 million

Halo 3 = 6 million

Super Mario Galaxy = 5 million

NBA Live 08 = 4.5 million

When all is said and done GTA IV will sell the most. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 13-15 million.

Honestly, i don't think Halo 3 is going to sell as many copies in the holiday season as it will when it launches.

But you guys don't think any PS3 titles will make the list? Think of it this way, A lot of people are getting PS3's. They are going to need something to play on them. Pretty sure R&CF:ToD, and Uncharted will sell well, as will UT3, and possibly Singstar (could be a sleeper.. never know). While I don't think any of these games will probaly sell more than the H word, I think at least one, if not two of them could make the list.

I am sick of people underestimating the PS3 just because it doesn't freakin' have Halo 3. *sigh*.

Anyone who doesnt pu SSBB on their list is a blind fanboy. Smash sold 6 million copies on gamecube. Gamecube!!! It is THE most anticipated title for all of the wii owners. The reason why tha attach rate for wii is lower then 360 is because SSBB is not out yet lol.

Exclusive wise in NA (released between now and the end of 2007 that reflect total sales and not just NOV/Dec sales)

1. Halo 3

2. Super Mario Galaxy

3. SSBB

4. Mass Effect

5.

No clue on number 5 , probably some casual Wii game ....... maybe Metroid or Heavenly Sword could sneak in there at number 5 or number 4.

When does Wii Fit come out? That thing is going to sell insane numbers!

Well assuming Wii-fit does not come out this holiday season then the top 5 will be Halo 3, GTA 4, Madden 08, Super Mario Galaxy, and the 5 spot is a bit wide-open but probably Smash Brothers Brawl.

If Wii Fit comes out this holiday season, and if Nintendo markets it heavily it will outsell everything, including GTA and Halo.

Madden will be number one as a crossplatform title

Followed by GTA3

Followed by Halo 3

Followed by Mass Effect

Followed by SSBB

It doesn't matter if some of these titles don't sell well in Japan. US/Europe is greater than Japan and there are Japanese games that sell out that don't mean crap here.

you are biast and very wrong. The 360's games will not compare to Wii game sales. Even though i hate to say it its true. I would say
1. Super Mario Galaxy2. Supersmash Brothers Brawl3. Halo 34. Mass Effect5. I want to say Unreal Tournament III (my favorite game, but its not multiplat by then (for 360) so i doubt it)Echo13791

I'm trying to figure out why Madden and GTA are left out of that list. There is no way Mass Effect will outsell Madden, which is on every single system available, and gta, which is on 2 systems and is as casual as it gets. But then again it's hard to take the other four off your list other than Mass Effect. Mass Effect may be the best game p there, but it won' sell as much as the other 6 games.

The Wii is the hottest selling video-game system out right now, mediocre games like Red Steel sold over a million units on the Wii and yet some of you think it won't even have one in the top 5. Are you guys stupid or something?
