Analysts predict holiday sales stinkers

Now, for a much grimmer look at holiday sales, we turn to Gamasutra, which asked analysts to predict the games that, far from just missing the top spot, would tank altogether. Among the foretold flops were Need for Speed Undercover, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Midnight Club: Los Angeles, all of which analysts say could fall well below expectations. As with all analyst predictions, we remind you that these are just that: predictions, that should be taken with the appropriate amount of NaCl.

We'd also like to add Predatory Lending Tycoon to the list of flopossibilities, though we suspect that Imagine Hoboz and Discarded Trash Can Scrap Cooking Mama could be surprise hits.
