Hudson Square analyst Daniel Ernst has predicted sales figures for what he believes will be the biggest selling games of 2008, coming to the conclusion that GTA IV will top the lot with 13 million sold this year. Ernst’s top five, from Gamedaily:
- GTA IV (13 million)
- Wii Fit (10 million)
- Super Smash Brothers Brawl (9 million)
- Final Fantasy XIII (8 million)
- Madden NFL 09 (7.5 million)
Good luck with seeing FFXIII this year, Dan. Hit the link for more huge numbers.

That sure is a staggering amount. Where is Halo at? Nice foot shooting with the FFXIII numbers.
;P

13 million’s a hell of a lot. Pachter said 9 million, iirc. Mind you, from the level of hype it’s getting now, nothing would surprise me.

Given it’s multiplatform… I could see it getting close.
Oh, and nice job on the FFXIII numbers (lol).

Q3 09 in Europe, that. Mark my words.

Yeah, there’s no chance of FFXIII this year. Not even in Japan.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them do a demo for Christmas over there, though. Sony will probably be begging them for it.

Hope so. It looks amazing from trailers so far.
