I really don't understand why prime series doesn't sell more,but I'm guessing around 600k-800k. I preordered mine so i could get the T-shirt.

thinking about it more, there are some reasons.

there is little story to drive the gameplay.  and getting the same updates for the suit game after game can be off-putting. 

 

the saving grace for the series is the techonology that went in.  the graphics and physics are amazing.

1st month 90k, theyre old games.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I'm going to be optimistic and say 3 million lifetime sales. It all depends if Nintendo is really going to get behind it with advertising. If they do, I think the sales could surprise some people.

I agree with him ^^^^ they have only had one review so far and that's from Official Nintendo magazine :). 94%

If the controls on the GC games are almost as good as the controls on the Wii game, I'd rate it like this:

Review Score - 9.8

Presentation - 9.5
Gameplay - 9.5
Value - 10.0

First week: 100-150k
First Month: 200-240k
LT: 500-800k

LT it could go IMO even above 800k. The value of the bundle is huge, and many future core Wii owners will get i

That's just being delusional. Not even the first one sold that much and then the series lost popularity. The ones that are hardcore fans of the series already have all three games most probably. It's impossible it can outsell it's own fanbase. 1 million IMO is not possible.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
