Specifically, the sales refer to this year only. So even though some of the games lower on this list might sell more overall, over their lifetimes, they may not sell as much during this year (i.e. they may not be as frontloaded).

Here's how I think it will go down:

  1. Grand Theft Auto V
  2. FIFA 14
  3. Call of Duty: Ghosts
  4. Pokemon X/Y
  5. Battlefield 4
  6. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
  7. Watch Dogs
  8. The Last of Us
  9. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
  10. Gran Turismo 6

Oh, it was definitely a big seller. The problem is, everything on that list is easily going to be north of at least 5 million units by year end :P

Higher install base than back then, better software attach ratio than back then, plus GT6 just looks to be a better game with more positive hype overall than GT5 did?

So,you think the game will sell upwards of 5M copies in less than a month? And not even that,with all the bad press and disapointment the last one got many people won´t even get theis one,that´s a much more natural assumption than it will sell more lol.

I dunno, maybe it won't sell that much lol. It's just a guess, the last spot was a toss up between Starcraft, Mario, and GT, and GT just seemed like it would sell the most. We'll see :P

Well if it´s mostly about those three then I´d say that SC2 is clearly the one in the best position. >.>

Each consecutive COD game has sold more than the last. COD will be released on a wider range of platforms and it continually breaks it own sales records. This year won't change that even with GTA coming out 2 months sooner.

I think Animal Crossing is already above The Last of Us in sales. It's already above 5 million and still selling well compared to the Last of Us current sales.

Putting anything else at number 1 besides CoD is just plain stupidity and wishful thinking. GTA V will definitely give it a run for its money but CoD is a juggernaut when it comes to sales and this year it's spread across 6 platforms. Come on now.

I'm betting series fatigue and GTAV distracting people from it might in fact give Activision a scare.

Oh it definitely will, not denying that at all, but this is CoD we're talking about here.

Hmmm, given the very short ammount of time, release being december 5th for GT6, i'll say that i know preorders alone will hit 4 or 5 million, rest being store bought. it just may hit 5 million in one month, there is alot of positive hype going on with GT6, Instead of following gran turismo 5's dark path. i'm interested in that 2500 km of course maker space......that sounds plain epic.

By the end of the year, GTA5 but overall COD ghosts. It is releasing on pretty much every platform and it's Call of Duty.

You can stick a fork in this one. It's done. GTA V is easily going to win. It's multiplat and on the two main consoles, it's everything people wanted to see in a next gen GTA and the hype is amazing.

I imagine Pokemon being the top of the list everywhere.  There will be absolutely 0 restraint from the handheld crowd to play 3D pokemans.

Other than that, GTA 5.

It wont be crap but it certainly will disappoint so many people and their unrealistic expectations. There are people that never play videogames that bought a console just to pre-order GTA because of the hype. It's pathetic
