Phsyconauts was a very good game. I played it and finished it. The game sold terribly. What game do you think will score well, but sell badly?

Defiantly Mass Effect. I can almost promise the sales will be crappy.

I said Crysis just because to properly run it not alot of peope will be able to do that I knowI wouldn't be able to run it, also I figured Bioshock might do good because it is really high on the Gamestats list.

Edited* because I spelled Crysis asCrisis.

Not convinced crysis will sell amazingly well, people may be too concerned over whether it will run on their machines.

Manhunt 2. That game'll score AA almost everywhere, but in the end it'll sell like crap because it'll probably get pulled from most retail stores.

Indeed. An excellent game which is overlooked for other, lesser and more popular games on the market.

Prime 3 is another one. Metroid has never sold well.

And I am getting both those games day-one.

Blue Dragon and Lost Oddyssey are prime candidates when I try to think of games like this.

The first three int he poll Mass Effect, Crysis, and Bioshock will all be superb games but won't sell that well.

Definitely agree with that. BS-A51 looks like it is going to be a KILLER game. I also think that Overlord will score well, but will be under most people's radar....unfortunately for them.

Hate to say it, but definitely Metroid Prime 3. Even ifMetroid Prime 3scored a perfect 10 on every major gaming site, even Gamespot, it would still sell less than what it should which is sad.

I think Killzone will get AA here(flop here) but sell well because of hype alone. The first killzone sold 4 million copies do to hype IMHO.

Without looking at the results i choose bioshock. Altough it may turn out to be a defining game of this gen, its to out there to appeal to the masses.

You read the question wrong. What will score well, but but will sell poorly?
