As I'm sure some of you will remember, as we approached Xmas last year I brought up this subject.
As interesting a topic as it is anyhow, it's made even more interesting when you put some money on it.
Last year I bet 15 quid that Need For Speed Underground 2 would be the highest selling game in the week before Xmas, it won me 130 pounds or something like that.
So I've been looking into betting this year. The odds aren't up yet, but having emailed Ladbrokes.com (who I bet with last year) they've informed me the odds are going up tomorrow.
Now, keep in mind something multiformat has by far the best chance of shifting the most copies, any ideas on what it'll be people?
I'm not certain, but is there a new Need For Speed game out? (Most Wanted or something). If so that's got to be an obvious pick.
From my experience last year it makes sense to place your bet as early as possible as you're most likely to get the best odds early on if it turns out you've made a wise choice.
If you are going to place a bet, set yourself a limit you know you can afford to lose. There's no such thing as a sure thing.
