They work in much the same way movies work in that some are bound to be successful hits (even making back 10 fold what was put in) while others will fail (not even covering development). Below is a list from PS3NEWS.com of their predictions for the 2008 fiscal year.

HITS
Viva Pi?: Trouble In Paradise
Brothers In Arms: Hell’s Highway
LittleBigPlanet
Fracture
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Dead Space
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Mortal Kombat vs DC
Resistance 2
Gears Of War 2
Warhammer Online
Left 4 Dead

FAILS
Spore
Too Human
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky
Mercenaries 2
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Crysis Warhead
Silent Hill
Saints Row 2
Bioshock (PS3)
Rock Band (Aus release)
Mirrors Edge
Red Faction: Guerrilla

Simply put for example, even a decent shooter like Red Faction: Guerrilla won’t be able to compete against a heavy hitter like Gears of War 2. 2008 certainly has its share of hits.
