Introduction

Coinciding with this week's Business and Media Summit in Santa Monica, we are pleased to announce the "IGN GamerMetrics 2007 Half-Year Preview," a comprehensive guide to the titles, platforms, publishers, and genres that are expected to have a significant impact on the U.S. videogame market during the second half of the year. Leveraging IGN GamerMetrics’ proprietary Mindshare metric, the report measures gamers’ awareness and purchase intent for over 300 videogame software releases during the next six months. Awareness data is based on the traffic patterns of the millions of monthly visitors to IGN.com, while purchase intent data is based on the activity of over 600,000 Club IGN users who regularly update their Wishlists, Email Alerts lists, and Collection lists. For the "IGN GamerMetrics Half Year Preview," Mindshare is relative to all titles scheduled to launch between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2007 and is based on a 90 day period of IGN.com data ending on June 24th.

Executive Summary

1. Halo 3, Madden NFL 08, and Grand Theft Auto IV to Take 30 percent of Sales for Videogames Releasing in the Second Half of ‘07 – historical data and IGN predictive models suggest that “The Big Three” could account for one third of all console new releases in the U.S. during the second half of the year. IGN GamerMetrics expects that Halo 3 will take home the prize of best selling title of the year, followed closely by Madden NFL 08 and Grand Theft Auto IV.

2. Which Titles are Well-Positioned to Survive the Impact of “The Big Three?” – Guitar Hero III, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and Half-Life 2: The Orange Box lead IGN GamerMetrics’ list of “sure things”. Pages 5-6 also include our lists for potential sleepers and disappointments.

3. 360 Lineup Has Plenty of Depth Beyond Halo 3, GTA IV – diverse mix of console exclusives such as Mass Effect, BioShock, Too Human, and Two Worlds should satiate gamers’ appetite for brand new games and provide a long tail of software sales.

4. PlayStation 3 and Lineups Both Have Their Flaws – is yet to provide gamers’ with that killer app for the PlayStation 3, and with the exception of Home, it looks like this will not come until early 2008. The Wii lineup, on the other hand, is extremely top heavy and does not feature the depth of content that might be required to reach the console’s expanding audience demographics

5. Super Smash Bros. Franchise Looks to Repeat Past Success – as the seventh ranked cross platform title and third ranked SKU, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is poised to repeat the success of Super Smash Bros. Melee, -selling GameCube title of all time.

6. Q4 Will Mark the Arrival of Another Must Have DS Title – : Phantom Hourglass is scheduled to launch in October and is the runaway favorite to be the best selling DS title of the second half of the year.

7. Ranks Head and Shoulders Above the Competition – publisher’s 2H07 lineup accounts for almost 20 percent mindshare on IGN over the last 90 days. Key titles include new installments of perennial sports franchises as well as Half-Life 2: The Orange Box, Army of Two, Pro Street, Medal of Honor: Airborne, & Rock Band.

8. Action/Shooter Titles Account for Almost 50% of Mindshare – With the exception of Halo 3 and GTA IV, a title releasing in these genres will experience tough competition regardless of platform. See page 13 for a map of the action/shooter market.

Surviving “The Big Three”

Halo 3, Madden NFL 08, Grand Theft Auto IV will account for at least 30% of new release sales in the second half of ‘07

As the videogame industry prepares itself for the biggest holiday season since 2004, there are a number of trends we can learn from to help pinpoint the potential winners and losers of the next six months. Within the U.S. console market, second half of the year releases have historically accounted for about 55% of software units sold between July and December and 35% of annual software units sold, which explains why publishers tend to wait until the holiday months to release their premium titles. A total of 85 million units were purchased for current and previous generation consoles during the second half of 2006, 46 million of which were new releases.* If you apply a conservative 10% increase in console software sales from last year, new releases will account for approximately 50 million units ($2.3 billion) in the second half of 2007.

One of the goals of the IGN GamerMetrics Half Year Preview is to highlight which titles will be able to survive the impact of Halo 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Madden NFL 08, and most importantly, which titles are in a good position to grab a healthy share of those 50 million units. The last time such a devastating trio hit the market was during the fall of 2004, when Halo 2, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and Madden NFL 05 launched, marking the pinnacle of the previous generation of consoles. While 2007 will not be the pinnacle of the current generation of consoles, the historical success of these franchises can serve as a blueprint for how this year’s software market will unfold.

In 2004, Halo 2 and the Halo 2 Limited Collector’s Edition combined to sell 4.3 million units in November and December of 2004.* Based on our internal forecasting models and the fact that the title will be launching two months earlier this year, we believe Halo 3 (including the Collector’s and Legendary editions) has the potential to eclipse the 6 million unit mark by the end of the year.

Looking at the last four years of sales data, the Madden franchise has seen a relatively consistent of sales ranging between 4.1 million in 2003 to 5.5 million units in 2006.* Sticking with the year-over-year 10 percent increase, we expect Madden NFL 08 will sell roughly 6 million units across all consoles by the end of the year.

Grand Theft Auto IV, releasing on both the and the PlayStation 3, is unquestionably the most difficult of the big three to forecast. In 2004, 5.1 million copies of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas* were purchased for the PlayStation 2, however, the Xbox version did not launch until June 2005. This time around, the title is scheduled to launch simultaneously on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, with the Xbox 360 version favored to garner the majority of unit share. Taking into account installed bases, we expect the title will combine to sell upwards of 4 million units across the two platforms, with the Xbox 360 version outselling the PlayStation 3 version by a ratio of about 2:1.

Cutting to the chase, the estimated combined sales for the console versions of Halo 3, Madden NFL 08, and Grand Theft Auto IV is at least 15 million units, leaving 35 million units for the hundreds of other titles to fight over. The following pages examine how the remaining major console releases are tracking with the IGN audience, including our picks for sure things, sleepers, and disappointments. The report also includes analysis of the top ranked platforms, publishers and genres of the second half of the year, detailed lists of the most anticipated console, handheld and PC titles, as well as a map of the crowded Action/Shooter market.

Sure Things

Beyond the big three, which titles are guaranteed to get their share during the second half of the year? As expected, there are plenty of perennial hits scheduled to hit the market during the next couple of months, but there are also some emerging new franchises to keep an eye on. Here are our picks for this year’s “sure things:”

1. Guitar Hero III (Activision) 2. Super Smash Bros Brawl () 3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision) 4. Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft) 5. Half-Life 2: The Orange Box (Electronic Arts)

Honorable mentions: Mass Effect, NCAA Football 2008, NBA Live 08, Super Mario Galaxy, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008

Sleepers

If you look past all the big names in this year’s upcoming lineup, there are a handful of relatively unkown titles that have an opportunity to make some noise. These are our picks for this year’s top sleeper titles:

1. Two Worlds (Southpeak Interactive) 2. All Pro Football 2K8 (Take-Two Interactive) 3. John Woo Presents Stranglehold (Midway) 4. Heavenly Sword (Sony Computer Entertainment) 5. Turok (Disney Interactive)

Honorable mentions: Army of Two, Black Site: Area 51, NIGHTS: Journey of Dreams, Crysis, Boogie

Disappointments

From a data perspective, these are the titles that have not been performing up to par given their historical track records and strong potential.

1. Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway (Ubisoft) 2. Unreal Tournament 2007 (Midway) 3. Battlefield: Bad Company (Electronic Arts) 4. Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground (Activision) 5. Paradise (Electronic Arts)

Honorable mentions: Medal of Honor: Airborne

2H 2007 Title Forecast

For those of you who are new to the IGN GamerMetrics Industry Report, we have introduced a Tier System to make it easier for you to gauge pre-launch buzz for upcoming releases. The tiers denote how well a title has performed compared to the average level of mindshare for the sample. Tiers 1 and 2 are above the average level, Tier 3 is average, and Tiers 4 and 5 are below average.

Tier

1 The Cream of the Crop (greater than 4 times the average title's mindshare) Above Average 2 Consistently strong hype (between 1.5 and 4 times the average titles's mindshare)

Average 3 Average hype (between .75 and 1.5 times the average titles's mindshare)

4 Minimal hype (between .25 and .75 times the average title's mindshare) Below Average 5 Off the Radar (less than .25 times the average title's mindshare)

By Title (across multiple platforms)

Chart 8a (on the following page) highlights the combined interest in the various platform versions of a title (including limited and collector’s editions), thereby providing better visability into which titles will see the strongest cumulative sales. It should come as no surprise that Halo 3 tops the list, with the three versions combining for almost 4.5% mindshare for all second half releases. The Legendary Edition is currently tracking slightly ahead of the Collector’s Edition, and both are categorized as Tier 2 titles.

Launching on eight different platforms, Madden NFL 08 ranks as IGN GamerMetrics second most anticipated title of the second half of the year. The Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions have generated the most interest on IGN, followed by the Wii, PSP, and PS2 editions.

Rounding up the big three, Grand Theft Auto IV ranks slightly behind Madden NFL 08 for the number three spot. Interestingly, the PlayStation 3 special edition ranks ahead of the Xbox 360 special edition, which leads us to believe that there is a sizeable group of PlayStation 3 enthusiasts who are eagerly awaiting the next installment in the GTA franchise.

One of the most impressive entries on the combined platform list is Super Smash Bros. Brawl which is ranked seventh despite only launching on the Wii. On the opposite end of the spectrum, WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008 will be releasing on six platforms, with the PlayStation 3 SKU leading the way. While this title will undoubtedly shift a significant number units come November, a portion of the interest generated across IGN is spurred on by a particularly vocal wrestling community, giving the title a slight boost over some of the other titles on this list.

For a complete list of top ranked titles by tier, platform, genre, and publisher, please refer to pages 14-48.

2H 2007 Platform Forecast

Chart 10a below looks at the Mindshare for titles releasing on the same platform, and reflects the strength of the upcoming Xbox 360 lineup. Beyond Halo 3, there is an impressive amount of depth on Microsoft’s console, including exclusives such as Mass Effect, BioShock, Too Human, and Two Worlds. We are particularly bullish on its strong lineup of RPG titles which have a long history of deep and rich franchises (as genres go). As a whole, the quality of the Xbox 360’s 2H07 software lineup suggests that for the short-term future, Microsoft should have no problem maintaining a sizeable lead over Nintendo and Sony.

Ranked well behind the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and Wii lineups have generated comparable levels of mindshare, however, the former has the edge thanks to a greater number of Tier 2 titles. Relatively speaking, the Wii lineup is noticeably more top heavy, with only a handful of titles accounting for the majority of interest in the Wii’s upcoming lineup. Even though data suggests increasing consumer support for new third party Wii titles such as Guitar Hero III and Soul Calibur Legends, we are not convinced that the upcoming lineup will galvinize the increasingly casual Wii audience. In spite of this discord between the audience profile and software availability, it does not take a genius to notice the opportunity for third- party publishers to capitalize on this viable new segment of gamers.

As for Sony, it has yet to provide gamers’ with that killer app for the PlayStation 3, and with the exception of Home, it looks like this will not come until early 2008 (potentially with LittleBigPlanet, Solid 4, or 5). That said, as a larger portfolio of titles finally makes its way on the PlayStation 3 (Gran Theft Auto IV, Lair, Heavenly Sword), we will have an opportunity to see how the market reacts. Rumors of a PlayStation 3 price drop in mid-July could also have a significant impact on the success of PlayStation software during the second half of the year Chart 9a Mind- # of Avg.

On the handheld front, the PSP and DS are neck and neck with regards to gamer interest in upcoming releases. Both lineups are anchored by potential blockbusters, with God of War: Chains of Olympus (37th ranked SKU) leading the way for the PSP, and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (32nd ranked SKU) for the DS. The PSP will also benefit from a number of new action/shooter titles, including Star Battlefront: Renegage Squadrons, Spider-Man 3, and : Logan’s Shadow, while the DS will receive an exclusive new Final Fantasy installment sub-titled Revenant Wings. The recent success of

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl cannot be overlooked, however, and we expect these titles could see a resurgence in sales during the holiday months.

Leading the way on the PC is Half-Life 2: Orange Box, an impressive compilation including the original Half-Life 2 game as well as the Episode One and Episode Two expansion packs, the complez puzzle game Portal, and the online phenomenon Team Fortress 2. Following The Orange Box, ’s BioShock and EA’s Crysis complete the trio of Tier 2 titles launching on the PC. In a holiday season filled with massive console hits, however, it appears that the PC market has taken somewhat of a backseat Chart 10a

2H 2007 Publisher Forecast

Looking at consumer interest in publishers’ second half of 2007 portfolios, Electronic Arts titles have generated more than twice the level of Mindshare as the second ranked publisher, Take- Two Interactive. This advantage can almost certainly be attributed the popularity of EA’s brand new franchises, representing a fundamental strategic shift for the publishing juggernaut. While it’s unsurprisng to see title such as Madden NFL 08, NCAA Football 08, NBA Live 08, Medal of Honor: Airborne, and Need for Speed ProStreet at the top of our lists, it is new titles such as Army of Two, skate, Rock Band, Crysis, and Boogie that will help to redefine how Electronic Arts is perceived in the industry.

Grand Theft Auto IV and Halo 3 have clearly had a strong impact on the publisher rankings, as Take-Two Interactive and Microsoft rank second and third behind Electronic Arts. Approximately half of each publisher’s aggregate Mindshare is attributable to the aforementioned blockbusters. Take-Two is also counting on 2K Games’ BioShock, the controversial Manhunt 2, as well as 2K Sports’ All Pro Football 2k8, NBA 2k8, and NHL 2k8. For Microsoft, Xbox 360 exclusives Mass Effect and Too Human both rank among the top ten SKUs of the second half of the year, while Blue Dragon is tracking well among enthusiast RPG gamers.

In a close battle for the fourth spot, Sony Computer Entertainment edged out Nintendo by less than 0.15% Mindshare. Lair currently ranks as Sony’s top ranked title, followed closely by Heavenly Sword and Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. While not the killer aps that the industry has been waiting for, these titles have been tracking will with the loyal Sony gamers, and should help to boost hardware sales in the Fall.

Nintendo’s lineup is anchored by Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the follow up to Super Smash Bros. Melee which is currently the best selling GameCube game of all time. We expect that Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be the best selling Wii title since The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Other Nintendo titles to keep an eye on include Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers Charged, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.

2H 2007 Genre Forecast

Chart 13a shows that the concentration of gamer interest currently lies within the Action and Shooter genres. Titles within these genres generated almost 50 of Mindshare for second half of the year releases. To help make sense of which titles are well positioned in this cluttered space, the next page features a 2x2 map of the next six months of major Action/Shooter releases.

The genre experiencing the fastest growth rate at the moment is undoubtedly the Music and Party genre. Two years ago this genre would not have made the top ten, but now it ranks fifth ahead of Racing, Adventure, and Fighting. Guitar Hero III, Rock Band, Boogie, and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s are currently the most anticipated titles within this genre.
