This game was never expected to have a "HUGE" opening on the Wii. People who buy shooters on day one generally do not own a Wii. Also, many of the Wii owners that do like shooter also own a system that has a better version of CoD:World at War (PC/360/PS3).
The best way to estimate is to look at previous sales of Wii WWII shooters:
- CoD3 51k NA week 1 (2006)
- MoH:H2 33K NA Week 1 (2007)
- Brothers in Arms: Double Time 3k NA Week 1 (2008)
CoD3 was a launch game, so the sales are a bit exaggerated. More recently, 007:QoS had a 33k NA launch. (similar to MoH). CoD is a bigger game, and sales should be a bit better that that. So I would estimate:
NA - 40-50k
Others - 30-40k
First week totals: 70-90k (100k possible)
This game will not sell close to the other versions of the game. Does that mean it bombed or is a flop? I guess that is up to personal interpretation, and your expectation of first week sales.
