If you're going to make a thread like this at least put in the effort...Taken from X360A and PS3T, so may be inaccurate. Sorry.
Probably a different answer for every person. I consider it November and December given that they're the biggest two months of the year for games and retail.What does holiday typically run from? Oct - Feb?
Either personally or fiscally, what is the definitions?
Bad for High Moon, good for anyone that wanted to play it.
Has a Criterion NfS game ever bombed this gen?Fuse to bomb for previously discussed reasons.
GRID 2 will probably do OK in Europe, cockpit drama aside. It's releasing into some clear air, and the last racing game of any note was Sega Superstars Transformed.
Remember Me to bomb, I don't see the advertising grunt being applied to it.
Deadpool to also bomb, the character is pretty unknown outside of comic circles and I don't trust Activision letting High Moon to make a good game. I've been predicting Activision will find an excuse to kill High Moon for a while, and this might be it.
Dragon's Crown will probably punch above its weight class, thanks to Kotaku, although I would be surprised if it gets a mention in the NPD.
Saints Row 4 will probably benefit from the impending GTA, since I'd wager it'll get some sales from people wanting to whet their appetite for open worlds.
Disney Infinity to bomb, Skylanders has eaten their lunch.
Bureau to bomb for being too generic.
Blacklist will do OK I guess, although all will depend on how many felt burnt by Conviction.
Rayman Legends to bomb, it's kinda missed its window of opportunity with the delay.
Batman: Arkham Origins, I'm going to predict a bomb here, I'm not entirely convinced by it.
NfS Rivals will also bomb, since the new gen won't save it.
So yeah, large quantities of bomba predicted, ignoring the usual success suspects.
I hope/think the SvM reveal revived some of the lack of hype coming out of E3 2012 as I assume most people will just skip SP out of "well no Ironside and it's probably Conviction 2.0"Fuse to bomb for previously discussed reasons.

Curious what the server player count will be for Ghost dog on next gen consoles at launch.
Will it be as bad as wii u blops2?
hmmmm
1. Fuse
2. Lost Planet
3. batman (too soon)
biggest bombs
Off the top of my head:
GTAV and CoD will sell massive numbers.
TLoU, Beyond, AC and BF4 will sell really well.
Batman, SR4 and Watch Dogs will sell pretty well.
Dragon's Crown will sell poorly but still exceed Atlus' expectations.
Splinter Cell, Deadpool, Fuse, NFS, Remember Me, Disney Infinity, LP3, Rayman, Puppeteer and XCOM Bureau will bomb.
Still plenty of games either not included in the list (GT6, KH, etc.), on other platforms (TW Rome 2, CoH2, Pikmin, Tearaway, etc.) or without a release date yet (South Park, FFX/X-2 HD, etc.) though.
BF will sell tonnes. Much more than TLOU, Beyond, and AC.
beyond two souls? lol that shits gonna bomb hard
artsy fartsy shit launching sandwiched between GTA, Asscreed, BF4 and COD
Batman: Arkham Origins, I'm going to predict a bomb here, I'm not entirely convinced by it.
I have it preordered. Heavy rain sold gangbusters... so I wouldn't be so sure this one wont. Also keep in mind the PS3 is not going anywhere.... if anything all next gen consoles are going to have a super slow start as 70% of the next gen games are going to be ps3/360/ps4/nextbox.
heavy rain launched in the spring
this is going against the biggest names in the industry. Next gen isnt a factor, whats launching around it will kill it
BF will sell tonnes. Much more than TLOU, Beyond, and AC.
beyond two souls? lol that shits gonna bomb hard
artsy fartsy shit launching sandwiched between GTA, Asscreed, BF4 and COD
If this is because it's a different developer, I doubt most of the mainstream is even aware of the change. This game will do fine. The Arkham series is only getting stronger.
Not enough dudebros, bro?
People said the same shit when Heavy Rain came out. Completely different audience.
Talk for yourself. Arkham City was certainly not a disappointment and I as well as many others want more.It's in the same position as Assassin's Creed. The last sequel was a disappointment and there's no real demand for a sequel. I don't think either AC4 or Batman AO will bomb but I don't think they'll be anywhere near as successful as their predecessors.
Just about every release can be found for $40 within 45 days after release.
And Splinter Cell..a pattern once again with Ubi games. They seem to crash hard and fast.
