I’ll be going with GOW3. Im tired of all the Halo games. If ya ask me now their just milkin the Halo series, its so over rated just like alot of other games out their. One of those games that use to be cool and now you just wish they would finally just put the gun to Halo and end it all ready, im sure Bungie can come up with something new.

Why do people say that GOW is Sony’s biggest franchise? It’s clearly not. Gran Turismo has always been Sony’s biggest franchise in terms of sales and probably always will be. I’m not saying GOW 3 is a bad game, it’s a fantastic game and i’ll definetly be picking it up on day 1 but GT has always been Sony’s biggest system seller.

You’re comparing Halo VS God Of War? Despite the fact that the Gran Turismo franchise has sold more than Halo and God Of War PUT TOGETHER?

There have been 4 major entries into the GT franchise so far, the average number of copies sold per game is over 11 million. The lowest selling game in the GT franchise (GT 2) sold 9.5 million, the highest selling game in the franchise (GT 3: A – SPEC) sold 15 million, more than both GOW games put together, more than Halo 1, 2 and Halo Wars put together.

To put it simply, GT is sales juggernaut that Halo couldn’t even dream of reaching in a million years, even if no more GT games came out it would still probably take Halo another 27 games to reach the GT franchise’s 53 million mark.

The real battle in sales this year (Accross all platforms) is going to be Gran Turismo 5 VS Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Those will be the biggest selling games of the year, every other game will be an afterthought.

Whoever made that crap top 10 list obviously doesn’t have a clue about the videogames industry, ME 2 selling more than GT 5??? LOL………

The top ten list,
“1. Halo: Reach
2. Final Fantasy XIII
3. StarCraft II
4. Call of Duty 7
5. FIFA 11
6. BioShock 2
7. Mass Effect 2
8. God of War III
9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
10. Gran Turismo 5″

I think is ridiculous for the fact it leaves out Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and perhaps even Wii Sports Resort.
Also, no mention of Zelda Wii, which Iwata has said will have a 2010 release(maybe he meant just Japan?).

If Wii Fit has sold 20 million plus units, in only a year and one half, I would expect to the sequel to do at least 1/4 of that…but maybe more.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii will probably end up being a “slow burn”, and if it’s anything like the NSMB DS, the game will beat all the ones on this list over time.

NO CONTEST

Halo is bland, linear, as much as they can get in there I really don’t think the story, gameplay or graphics will shock you in any way.

GOWIII in the other hand…

as long as they keep cranking out halo games, people will continue to buy them again and again, just like the call of duty series.

So we had Halo 3, Halo ODST, this Halo 4 or reach is doing that reaching … this series should die like the nightmare on elm street series did.

Are the expected big sellers in any particular order? If so, clearly GT5 is a force to reckon with

Both are great games, with lasting appeal and both will do extremely well.

Well since I don’t have a PS3 I guess I would be looking more forward to Halo Reach then anything else. But I did love God of War 1, 2 and the PSP game Chains of Olympus so I have no doubt 3 will be amazing too.

I think Kratos is more highly anticipated, however, I think Halo: Reach will sell more copies.

Overall, both PS3 and Xbox 360 wins in 2010. Good stuff.

By the way, good read.
