Okay GAF let's see how good you are at Predicating the Future!
Which game is going to be the next break out hit or which series will experience significant growth? You can predict anything just please be precise in your predictions i.e. Game X will sell 10 million units or Game Y will be biggest in the Franchise Also please give details as to why you think it will.
No games or series are off the table if there already popular but you think they will grow even more say it! E.g. GTA6 will sell 200 million units lol.
A few things to maybe consider when making a predication.
Elden ring 20 million units.
Okay so 10 million is practically guaranteed dark souls 3 has already done that and the souls fanbase is incredibly reliable. 20 million is a real big leap so my reasons are
Bigger marketing budget
Open world
George R.R. Martin
Very High Quality maybe landmark game.
I feel the open world will make it more appealing and more accessible to a wider audience. This game just sounds incredible it could be the next landmark openworld game on the level of breath of the wild or witcher 3 both of which have exceeded 20 million units.
Harry Potter Howard's Legacy 10 million units.
This one's more straightforward Harry Potter is obviously a monstrous brand and the youtube numbers are crazy currently over 25 million views on just the playstation channel. Main question marks at the moment are if the game will be any good with a developer unproven at the top level. If it turns out good 10 million may end up being conservative.
Final Fantasy 16 best selling entry in the series. This is a bit more of long shot. I'am banking on Naoki Yoshida here! Final Fantasy 14 is on fire at the moment in a large part to him and his team. I am hoping he can deliver the best mainline FF in along time. It main issue at the moment is it only being announced on the PS5.
Wolverine 20 million units. This one captain obvious Sony, Marvel and ESPECIALLY insomniac are on fire at the moment. Of course this is gonna be a good game 10 million is such a lock I would bet both testicles and my foreskin on it. I am pretty confident with 20 million as well considering Spidey and God of war have already done it.
So there are mine GAF what are yours?

A few things to maybe consider when making a predication.
- YouTube, Twitch, Google Trends metrics etc seem to be pretty good indicators of future sales.
- Consider if the game will be good or not. High metacritic scores correlate with High sales. Conversely games that had massive hype but released with problems or weren't good didn't sell as well as they could have..E g. Fallout 76, Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077.
- Consider but don't put too much emphasis on previous games sales. You don't want to end up looking like this! https://www.resetera.com/threads/hi...ter-world-could-sell-10-million-copies.14121/. Look at what the new game is bringing to the table not what the old ones did,has the general gaming audience taste changed over the years etc. Another example I remember is people saying spiderman couldn't hit 10 million because the arkham game never did ( At least officially)
