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. |
i actually had a CG and hadn't heard about pikmin until olimar was announce for SSBB. since then i went back and bought pikmin 1 and it's great. my guess is a lot of people got their first exposure to pikmin via SSBB.
as far as metroid goes...i've been meaning to pick that up forever. it was released before i could find a wii and zelda was a more compelling 1st purchase.
