Multiplayer was in the second one.

I think many people found out about this franchise later on in the GC's life and bought used copies (the same can be said for many games).

But here's the kicker...
Hardcore gamers don't drive Wii game sales. Take a look at Metroid Prime 3. It's still at 1.46 million units. It's the end of a trilogy....has near perfect controls, looks beautiful...and still doesn't have a candle to hold against carnival games.

In short...the ravenous hardcore don't care how many units it sells. Pikmin 3 will be a great game that is a guaranteed million seller and for many here it's a day-one purchase.

Your 1.25 million total might be pretty good.....
But I'd bring that to about 1.75 million if it has online co-op or online competitions.
