Attack of the Show's The Loop: 2008 Predictions

Here is The Loop's 2008 Predictions from Wednesday night's Attack of the Show. The guests on the show are: USA Today's movie writer Scott Bowles, Forbes' deputy editor David Ewalt, and Destructoid's associate editor Chad Concelmo. Their discussions cover iPhone, Facebook and social networking sites, upcoming movies Cloverfield and Iron Man, and gaming.

The segment on gaming discusses "two of the most anticipated video games that were delayed until this year" -- Spore and Grand Theft Auto IV. The guests also predict that the Wii will be the winner of the console race in 2008.

This is a show whose target audience is the mainstream and masses, so that's why Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII are completely ignored.

So these 2 games are not aimed at the massed? Heck, alot of people I know are waiting 'till these games are out to buy a ps3, a lot of those own Xbox 360's also. So that's not the masses? LOT'S of people like these games you know? It dosn't revolve around what YOU think.

1.3 - I stopped watching that show

When they started interviewing complete nobodies off the street on the Loop section. It was like seeing the Mart, Zhuk, and Tanod arguing in person.

G4 sucks ass. Xplay used to be good when they were apart of TechTV, but ever since G4 took over, it's been Microsoft Defense Force. And, of course, all the G4 shows suck..

Metal Gear Solid-4 is bigger than both combined, well atleast to those with a refined taste.

3.3 - Super Mario Melee sold 7 million

and they didn't mention it.MGS2 sold 7 million, and mgs3 sold 4 million or so. I think those two should have been mentioned but oh well.

3.4 - Thats the whole point Retro-Virus!

Titanic and Spiderman hit a chord with mainstream moviegoers. They may not be the best movies in the world (far from it actually) but they had mainstream appeal.

MGS4 has an established user base so its a sure fired hit but will it appeal to causal gamer who makes up most of the mainstream audience??? my guess is not.

Being mainstream is not a question about being good or not. Its just a question about having mass appeal. However, if it's also good then it will sell a bucket load more copies.

3.7 - Spore = a bigger and better sequel to The Sims

If you think Spore won't be big, you're delusional.

Spore is The Sims.

Even the casual crowd and mainstream know about Spore - because they know about The Sims, and they know Spore is created by the guy who made The Sims, and they think of it as the next Sims.

I can tell you right now Spore's sales will be much, much bigger than MGS4 *and* FF13, COMBINED.

4 - ngg12345

Some of Sony's biggest selling games sell the same amount on the Xbox 360 with a install base of only 10 million strong. Sony has to have the base numbers to sell games well. 120 million PS2's and only 2 to 4 million?.

Spore had everybody hyped up probably more than any game I can think of.
