Also, can someone explain why people have 1995 getting that far? Literally the only game in 1995 is Chrono Trigger, can't see that beating 1987 for 'smart gamerfaqs', especially given the stock of the Zelda franchise at this moment.

You sort of answered your own question about 1997 here. If you ask me, 1997 is basically a one-game-year also. Goldeneye has some strength, but I don't think it's anywhere near what this board makes it out to be. There's also SotN, but that's not really a super powerhouse either, and I expect it will have a decent amount of overlap with FFVII anyways.

Basically I think having a lot of good games that cover many different fanbases (this second part is key) is a lot more important than having one really strong game. I don't even have 1997 making it that far since I have it losing to 2000 (which I expect should be close), but if it makes it to 2001 I'm expecting it to lose handily.
