That's only because you can pay $40 to play the demo.

Of course it will. Modern Warfare 2 is crossplatform while Halo ODST is xbox only.
BTW, How the hell is Wolverine beating out Ghostbusters? I've seen previews of this game and it looks like crap.

MW2 will pwn ODST on 360 alone.

I'm only looking forward to a handful of those:
4. Final Fantasy XIII (Square Enix)
5. Assassin's Creed 2 (Ubisoft Montreal)
6. BioShock 2 (2K Marin, 2K Australia)
13. Fallout 3: Broken Steel (Bethesda Game Studios)
14. Batman: Arkham Asylum (Rocksteady Studios)
And 13 is DLC, not a full game, so I'm not sure why it would be included.
I'm actually looking forward to Infamous on the PS3 more than any of those. That game looks pretty damn awesome.

I don't know about that. Has MW1 pwned Halo 3 in 360 sales yet? I don't have the sales numbers.

Not at all, Halo 3 is the all-time best seller for the system.

I think the series has gotten even more popular since MW1. Before the Mythic maps came out MW1 and WaW held the first and second spots for most online gamers. I think MW2 is going to converge both groups while adding a whole lot of new players, like me.

Exactly what I said earlier this year, only more concise.

If ODST does outsell MW2, I'm going to use the out that is because it was significantly cheaper.

I've seen way more buzz about MW2 than I have about Halo ODST. I agree with Dakar that it'll beat Halo: ODST. I think it'll be the best selling game of the year (other than Wii Sports 2).

I have to stand by my Punch-Out! will rule all prediction for now.
At any rate, underestimating the Wii is retarded.

Ones of interest to me...
Modern Warfare 2
Halo 3 ODST (Which I'll probably never play - I'll be lucky if Halo 3 is ported crappily to the PC.) (I'm actually hoping for a Windows 7 exclusive like Halo 2 and Vista. At least it would come out then.)
Assassin's Creed 2
BioShock 2
Mass Effect 2
Splinter Cell Conviction (If it ever comes out)
Arkham Asylum (Yay Windows LIVE games)
Broken Steel (increased level cap, keep playing after the game ends!)
Bad Company 2 (I'm sure the humor won't be what I heard it was in the first, as its a sequel, but at least this one hits the PC.)

Wii Sports Resort. Gosh.

Thats a crappy prediction, really. I'm kinda disappointed Dakar. I hope for your reputations sake I'm wrong and it does sell well.

It's quite possible I'm unaware that Wii owners know boxing on it sucks, or that the Gen Xers don't care about Punch-Out! (or those that do don't have a Wii), but it seems like a fair bet to me.
Where do you think the sales lie (Excuding Sports 2 and Fit 2)?

Didn't you recently get a 360? Why are you still waiting for Halo 3 to be ported over to the PC?

Thanks for the sympathy. But there are those rare gems...

Fit 2? I've heard nothing of this. But yeah, Sports 2. Or just not in the Wii.

No, I couldn't. The only reason I'd consider it would be to game with you guys and at home I have horrible Internet, so it wouldn't happen anyways.

Yep. So we can at least still compare achievements.

Actually, I'm interested in a Star Wars or Harry Potter game that uses the Wii motion plus or true motion or whatever it's called.

I believe it's called "we should've made the motion this good in the first place but oh-well buy it you jerks."

I'd see a Star Wars game happening, but I don't think EA would put the time in for Harry Potter. And I don't see it doing much more than the Wii remote already can for Harry Potter. But it would do wonders for a lightsaber.

The wand movements for the current Harry Potter game is really basic and limited.
I'd be neat to have a Dueling Club or something like that with more advanced movements. It'd also allow for more, complex spells.

I gotta say, that's probably the nerdiest comment I've read on a thread dedicated to video games on a messageboard dedicated to computers.

I admit it would be cooler to have more impressive wand movements in the game.
And I'm a big enough fan of Harry Potter that I can appreciate the sight of a grown man in his bathrobe playing his Harry Potter on his Wii. Couldn't they incorporate Wii Speak in to that too? So you have to shout out your spells?
