Its not the same game. Its not the same content.
Every single AC sold significantly better than Fallout 3, in some cases like AC3 it doubled FO3's sales.
People are really overestimating Fallout and Battlefront.
Forza? Halo 5 will sell at least 5 times as much as Forza 6, Forza games barely sell 2 million and that's with heavy bundling, Halo 3 meanwhile sold 10+ million.

This interpretation doesn't work for Halo or Yoshi either. I think how we should read this is this: Take the most anticipated game a console has ever had and compare a game's anticipation to that game. So Halo 5 is the most anticipated game ever on Xbox One, it is 100% as anticipated as itself. Yoshi's Woolly World is 91% as anticipated as the most anticipated Wii U game has ever been (Mario Kart 8?) and CoD is 98% as anticipated as the most anticipated multi platform game (for Xbone / PS4?) has ever been.
Watch Sprint Season 1-3.
That's not what these percentages represent.
So Halo is at least as highly anticipated as another title ever released on Xbox one... Which makes sense because it's likely the most anticipated title to ever come to the console.
No 98% of, console owners don't want COD:BlOPs3,
But it's 98% as anticipated as this most anticipated mulitplatform title so far... (I'm assuming that title would be Destiny)
Kinda like how SMT IV was a new game in October of 2014!

Probably the worst fall/winter line up in a long time. Normally I'd be interested in a few of them but I'm tired of CoD, NFS sucked, curious about Battlefront beta but it looks bad from streams I've seen. I don't like Fallout, Halo, Starcraft or Anno (or Assassins Creed).
I would have bought CoD and NFS if not for the beta's, so I'm thankful I got a chance to try before I buy.
I will probably get FO4 because of how shit the release schedule is and I'm mildly interested in it. Tomb Raider is a must buy but I dunno if I should just wait for PC version. Maybe Just Cause 3 will be good, I barely played the second one but I enjoyed it. Literally just a bunch of sequels, which I guess is pretty normal for this time of the year.

Your PS3 can run these games at 1080P/ 60 fps with all the improvements they've made? if not than it's technically exclusive.

Different strokes. I love Halo and Bethesda RPGs, getting both in one quarter makes this one of the best years in gaming for me. Games like MGSV and Witcher 3 are just a bonus at this point. Pending that they deliver of course, I have reason to believe they will for me, Halo 5 beta was a blast and Bethesda has never failed me.

Oh yeah, this little survey is nothing. I expect Battlefront to clobber them once the marketing starts rolling, and the game releases. It'll probably get a boost from the movie as well.
I disagree, Metal Gear Online, Tales of Zestria, and Uncharted 4 beta are enough for me, I'll buy Fallout 4 later once Bethesda fixes it.
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Bloodborne DLC, shame on me.
Unlikely, Black Ops 3 could sell twice as much as Battlefront or any game released this holiday.
Yup.
I wouldn't be surprised if BO3 sells more in the US than Battlefront sells worldwide.
Being serious here.
because xenoblade is popular with the general population right
i dont even know what the fuck kind of game that is
Stupidest GAF question of the day.

dat Halo. Still takin' names in 2015. Congrats.
Definitely, a lot of people still underestimate Call of Duty, advanced Warfare was - as usual - the biggest entertainment launch last year, and that wasn't under the black ops subtitle.
Thank you i read it already and i stand by what i said. Their methodology is broken and produces meaningless numbers. When numbers are given in percentages, they have to be percentages of something, and that something, they define it as anticipation level, which means absolutely nothing when the result is 98 or 100%.

I seen worst in the collection OT.
Well to be fair, he's an older GAF member so he might just be trolling. But still...

True, I forgot about Witcher 3 and Bloodborne DLC, I'm hype for those, moreso than most games released this year. I might get Halo 5 just depends.
Waiting on MGO for PC. Uncharted 4 beta is gonna be sick too, already preloaded Uncharted Collection. I guess there's plenty this year, not like I need a bunch to play when I so much already ha.

We're not talking about lifetime sales.
Still, Forza is not even close to being in the same league as Gears, let alone Halo.
Forza is comparable in sales to Killzone, Infamous, Fable, Heavy Rain...etc (and I'm even hesitant putting it with those games, since they usually sell better). Halo 5 alone will sell better than all Forza titles this gen combined.
Naughty Dog's greed is out of control.
If we are to take this listing seriously and at face value what the Devil's Third listing tells me is that those E3 trailers and pushes by Itagaki were effective in building up interest and they stuck with people. Not going to lie I liked what I saw E3 the game was debut from the trailers to the Treehouse showing of the game. That and some Wii U owners want something to fill the void that exist due to no Call of Duty or even Star Wars being released on the Wii U. They might not be aware of reviews so the desire to still experience the game is still there. Hell I know the reviews and I still kinda want to pick it up just to see for myself how it is and if the online could actually be fun.
I'm looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles X a LOT. I'm taking a long weekend when that games out. That's how much I want to play that game. However Nintendo has done jack shit in regard to the average customer to promote the game in the west. So it's no wonder it's not on any list like this and likely won't ever be. Nintendo seems to not have any faith it in and seems unwilling to make the game a big deal to grab people's interest.

It's hilarious to look at most of the list and then get down to the 3DS and especially the Vita portions. Really drives home how different the niche handheld market is from everything else.

A little less than a year ago and the Halo franchise seemed to be in a bit of trouble but wow have they bounced back. MCC did little damage to the franchise and 343i is hitting the right marks with the game.

I'm genuinely astonished that Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival has "very strong anticipation from gamers on the [Wii U]".

The recent forge reveal got me more hyped than the SP trailers, gonna be playing Warzone and messing with forge and customs for a looong time.
Um?? Yes? Not that I support it on either side but how many people make threads about how japanese characters are unappealing or all the "anime waifu shit" on Vita.
Yeah, I agree people buy cod out of habit at this point.
You need to talk to more people who own Xbox ones

Nintendo has done way more stuff for X than they ever did for devil's third though
Sales have already released?
Not yet. This is according to what Gamestop are predicting to happen based on what they're seeing.
Last year they said the top selling game during that period would be Destiny. They were of course correct.

I own an Xbox one and after halo 4 and master chief collection I couldn't give any less of a fuck about halo 5. I'll probably pick it up when it's $20 just to check it out.

It's not a nightmare, this list is pretty much a joke.
