It could be a very expensive Christmas then, if these predictions turn out to be correct. And with the exception Prince of Persia Wii - which Ubisoft previously announced for release next year - we'd say the report is a pretty fair stab as well.

It's also important to note that we're expecting even more titles for the European PS3 release list, considering its debut this side of the pond has now been pushed back to next year.

But we are of course taking the analysts' word with a very large pinch of salt, and we'll let you know when either company give official word.

Need for Speed Carbon - Electronic Arts (800,000)

how can there be 800,000 copys sold if there are only 500,000 consoles

I thought WarioWare and Monkey Ball were supposed to be in the launch?

That was my first reaction as well... but I suppose they are referring to opening season sales? Which would put the number at 1 to 2 million PS3s.

Still I would say the PS3 numbers are too high and the Wii numbers too low. Still thinking in terms of PS2 and Gamecube seems to me.

Game list looks good though.
