If they ever for some reason decide to make a new Metal Gear Solid game or the creaters make one similar to that it could.
The next GTA (although I won't be buying it). All of the teenagers with ASBOs love that game. It's cross platform, is an established name and will have a huge advertising budget.
No original IP will take it though. Unfortunately people don't buy new IPs the same way as franchises.
A new Starwars Battle Front with the right advertising could do really well.

Its sad that not only do alot of people out there think nothing will ever top MW2, which will easily be done because MW2 is just more of the same, booring IMO.. anyway, its even worse that people are already saying that the only game that could be better than MW2 is MW3... how much more can you pack, it seems like COD has been alive longer than i've been alive.
Im sitting at the end of my seat for a new wave of games like Red Dead Redemption, I think it'll go places, and on the way there it'll cruise right by the COD games.

If ANY game were to outsell MW2, it would HAVE to be a multiplatform game, without a doubt. Every ps3 fan thinks GoW3 will, but hasn't the number of MW2 copies bought go over the number of ps3's even sold? I don't know, someone would have to do some googling.. or BING!!11!!1!one
Think about it. Fight fire with fire. Make an amazing game available to every console, even Wii somehow, and it. just. sells. Also if the developer chooses to have a decent marketing campaign like the Halo franchise has had lately, you get some interest as well.
Mass Effect 2 will almost certainly NOT sell as much as MW2. ME2 is an RPG with shooter elements, and gamers these days don't care as much for any kind of RPGs, save Fallout, but that's just more or less Bethesda at its finest. Almost every bestselling game in the past 5 years have been some kind of shooter. And with Modern Warfare's success, statistically speaking of course, EVERYONE on the freaking planet will own a copy if all goes well.
Honestly though, I don't see any challengers for MW's title anytime soon.
But there is hope for me, if i could make a game. Halo's controls and soundtrack, Uncharted's/Crysis graphics, Call of Duty's sound effects and blockbuster moments, Mass Effect's story quality, Fallout's sheer scale, Oblivion's item management, and just Liam Neeson thrown somewhere in there for voice talent, THAT would be a game i would probably make a mess in my pants for.

Well, the game would have to meet multiple requirements.
1)It would have to be for all consoles and the PC. An exclusive game may sell well, but the cross system sales are what made MW2 so profitable.
2) It would need to follow a great prequel. A popular game tends to be followed by an even more popular sequel. Half-Life,Halo, and God of War are all examples of this
3)Release date. It may not matter much, but a release date closer to the Holidays are proably more profitable then a release date in the summer.
MW2 had done all of these and that's what made it the largest amount of money. There may have been a few other factors, but I can't name them right now.

To outsell MW2 in current condition, a game needs to be:
1) Multiplatform. Being on PC, X360, PS3. Don't know if Wii should be added - it is a big market, but so-called "hardcore" gamers hate it.
2a) Overhyped up the arse. Preferably with some controversy thrown in.
2b) A continuation of existing franchise, as to have solid foundation to be built upon.
3) Targeting biggest demographics available. It basically means "a game for fratboys and graphic elitists".
Yeah, this would work.

Actually, what Pegghead said down below is pretty sensible - if ALL publishers and developers collaborated to create biggest crossover ever, it would easily outsell every other game there was.

Seeing Ratchet beating the crap out of Helghast with his wrench would be priceless. Just sayin'.[/small]demoman_chaos said:

If they ever make a crossover of ALL Valve games. That or a super smash bros brawl type crossover fighting game with most all major characters in gaming. Could you imagine watching Gordon freeman throw headcrabs at Klaud (?) causing him to spaz out and hit master chief in the face with his buster sword?
