Forums - Sales Discussion - Shaun White Snowboarding prediction

The wii version (road trip) will be the best seller among the 3 consoles, if only because its the best thing to use the balance board since wii fit.  The sheer saturation of balance boards on the market should drive high sales for such a title, shouldn't it? 

I've heard more than one casual observer refer to Wii Fit as a console, and because Wii Fit and the balance board out consistantly out sells the PS3 and x360 (individually), i think it will have a noticeable influence on software, despite the majority of its buyers being "casual."

To be more direct: Road trip will have impressive legs, and be a million seller by late next summer (ironically so because its a snowboarding sim).

Thoughts?

Mmm agree with your prediction, but i think the wii version will be million seller by next october-december, and PS3-360 versions of the game will make about 350k each



The wii version won't sell that badly. It will probably sell 65k and the ps3 and 360 versions will sell both 115k first week worldwide.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

It got a great second week boost in others this week. Can't wait to see U.S. first week numbers--not that I expect them to be THAT big. Its the legs of this game (as of most wii games) that will impress the most.

Quick aside... is anybody else going to get the wii version and play it with a fan next to your TV (so it actually feels like you have wind in your face, haha)?



I think this game will be a rare thing - bomb on PS3/360, and do well on Wii. The Wii's was the only version to chart in the UK, and I think legs will take it even higher than last week.

I bought my copy yesterday, currently waiting for it to arrive from Amazon (£25, bargain).

Edit: Also, i've seen Wii version adverts for this game on TV (here in the UK) 3 times now, but no advertising for the HD versions. I'm sure Ninty bankrolls some third party ads.

If this game is advertised really well I believe it can become a million seller this year.

It's the game to get now besides Wii Fit

Well if We Ski can sell 750k and counting Shaun White should have no problem selling a million. It's a far better game all around. It'll just take a while as with many Wii games.
