The first Red Dead Redemption shipped more than 14 million copies, and was a hit with players and critics. The upcoming sequel should be a performance driver for Take-Two, and will incorporate some of the online mechanics that have been so successful in the company’s Grand Theft Auto Online.

Released in 2011, Marvel vs. Capcom 3 went on to sell more than 7 million copies.

The Marvel brand has grown a lot since then, so Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite could post even better sales.

God of War is one of Sony’s most successful first-party franchises, and the upcoming series refresh will likely be a strong performer on the company’s red-hot PlayStation 4 console.

After disappointing sales for last year’s space-themed Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the franchise looks to be returning to its roots. The upcoming release should substantially outperform 2016’s installment.

Last year’s NBA 2K release scored great reviews and stellar in-game content sales. NBA 2K18 looks to continue Take-Two’s dominance in the basketball genre.

Last year’s FIFA release sold at a record-setting pace for the series, and this year’s installment is primed to be an even stronger performer thanks to in-game purchase growth and the lead-up to the 2018 World Cup.
