Look at the DS to get an idea. I predict at least 5 Nintendo games on the Wii will sell 10m+ (that's 5 times as much 10m+ sellers as Sony had on the PS2) |
That´s exactly my thought - if a (mediocre) game like Mario Party 8 sells the numbers it does in the US and Japan, what will happen to Nintendos biggest franchises? Will their sales explode to a NES/SNES level again?
It really seems we were all underestimating Nintendo... even the fans.
@Parokki: Yes, it is a good sign, you shouldn´t forget one thing though: If retailers pre-order 300k units of a game they don´t expect to sell out after the first two weeks (look at the hysteric about Dragon Quest Swords, they didn´t expect to sell out and they are going crazy now.) so if the game sells 300k copies after the first two weeks, there is little chance the game will sell in exceed of 1 million if it doesn´t show significant legs... we´ll have to see, but we should expect HSG to be successful at least.
