There are plenty of worthy contenders who can achieve the biggest sales by end of 08. They are:

  • Killzone 2 - Amazing graphics with great atmosphere plus it's an FPS which is the most poular genre in the West
  • Mertal Gear Solid 4 - the most enticipated game on PS3
  • LittleBigPlanet - A great innovative game which has user created content plus worldwide appeal
  • INfamous - A sleeper hit but looks really promising, it's a sand box game which is highly attractive to western gamers, a mix of psy-ops and GTA
  • Final Fantasy 13 - Most enticipated RPG on PS3 and the game which can help PS3 in a major way in Japan
  • Gran Turimo 5 - The driving simulator, a game with worldwide appeal

There may be other's also.

Which game do you think will sell the most by end of 08 ? also explain answer

I'm voting for Metal Gear. With the amount of effort being put into that game, I think Konami will be the first developer to really show us what a PS3 can do. I don't think we'll be seeing FFXIII in the states until '09, otherwise that would be my vote

Gran Turimo 5 has the widest appeal but we will have to see how well the hype machine does with MGS4.

People who are saying GT5 and FF, I TRULY respect you, but c'mon!!

Lets say all of these were indeed coming in 2008, it isn't about which YOU like best, its about marketing, and hype (and well, obviously, quality; for our purposes, all of these are a 9.5). Read message boards all over; I would take a guess that 90% of people who say they bought a PS3 say its for MGS4.

I love all three of those, but my dad is looking at Metal Gear 4, not Final Fantasy. Same for my brothers, and friends who do not own a PS3. They're all hyped about MGS4 (and thinking of buying one just for it) not Gran Turismo's Real Driving Sensations. :lol: It just appeals more to the Mass Market, along with hardcore fans

Not meant to start an argument, just pointing out obvious facts...

Discuss more.

I think the top 3 will for sure be MGS4, GT5 and FFXIII (if it comes out in 08 ) but I think FF would rival it MGS4 world wide. Just my opinion tho. In the US i think MGS4 wins.

I agree but I also believe that Killzone 2 also has a shot at getting major sales upon release but thats only if Guirrilla/Sony meets expectations and the game turns out to befantastic, I mean the graphics already look phenomenal I just hope the gameplay is just as good. FPS are getting popular over the years especially in the West.

I'm quite sure that it'll be MGS 4, every body want to know how the story continues and I think that gameplay and graphics will be ones of the best of all games. But I must say that GT has a superb grafic too

I think a lot of you guys are thinking just in the US. If FFXIII comes out in 2008 I can't see how world wide it wouldn't be #1. It's fan base is ridiculous.

I can't believe people hype Metal Gear so much. It's a very niche game. The past 3 haven't exactly sold Halo like numbers why would number 4 be any different.

MGS2 has sold over 7 million and MGS3 has sold over 4 million, now combine these numbers and thats how much MGS4 will sell by end of 08 :D

i say ff13 followed closely by mgs 4 and killzone 2 (no particular order). Every ff ever has sold millions and this will be no different, especially with it going to the next gen of consoles. MGS 4 will be spectacular but may be too hardcore gaming for some, and killzone 2 will just appeal to everyone who loves fps's pretty much....i can't wait for 08 xD

WHITE KNIGHT STORY will sell a hella lot in Japan thats for sure, but globabally I have to give it to final fantasy because it has a world reputation. So does mgs4 but you never see anyone dress up as solid snake but you do see lots of people dress up as final fantasy characters.

I don't know how the metal gear series sells, but i do know that Gran Turismo series sells alot and Final Fantasy sell alot, so I'm guessing that The best sellers will be GT5 and FF, maybe MGS4 but i'd have to play it and see if the series sells good. It will probably sell alot also.

Metal Gear Solid 4 or Final Fantasy XIII.

GTA4 will do very good, but the series sucks in my opinion.

i think that the biggest eller will be either

MGS4: Because it's the end of snakes story and the last MGS game that Hideo Kojima is working on.

FF13: Because it is the PS3's first REAL RPG(but people may be put off after FF12

LittleBigPlanet: Because it looks so user friendly and fun for every one to play
