Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 for the Wii. The first game was a surprising launch hit and the new game will focus more on multiplayer with better Wii controls (the last being multi-plat which was changed to party game months before release).
Wii Zapper. This peripheral has gotten a lot of positive attention and comes bundled with a Link game so it could do well.
Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles (Wii). Highly anticipated light-gun game of a popular franchise. Capcom says it's coming in November.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics (Wii, also on the DS). This has even received Best in Show awards and will probably be a top selling Wii title due to the mascot fight that fans have waited for.
Contra 4 (DS). Nintendo Power claims this for November. It could give a DS title for that month but also it's a long-awaited sequel for a classic franchise.
I see that titles are not having their release dates posted when announced, causing some confusion for the futures. I guess we'll just have to have to watch them more carefully...or could we have an option to put "November 2007" in place until they announce the exact date? Quite a few games for this fall seem to only put out a month and only give an exact date once it comes closer.
For titles to remove: CoD4/UT3/Army of Two for PC/PS3/360. I'm not suggesting removing all 4 versions but I doubt that the PS3 versions will hit the top 10 for the month and I have some doubts about PC titles making it as well. Including Crysis (which I think will have lower sales due to system requirements) we have 8 FPS games on this list...I doubt that the PC/PS3 versions of the multi-plat games will make the list. This needs to be thinned out or they'll be ignored anyway.
If you're sticking with 10 titles this month, perhaps you could still list the Manhunt futures but not count them in the 10. There's very little chance of them selling well, but they will bring some attention to the site.
I disagree with Gaara42 about Lego and CoD on the DS (DS sales for shooters aren't that great and the Lego games were already released on there, unlike the Wii version) but I think Geometry Wars could be an interesting addition (Wii version at least).
