List your expectations:

1st week- 150,000

1st month (August)- 250,000

I expect this not to be as big a game as Mario Party 8 for several reasons:

1. Soccer is not a very popular sport in the US.
2. Not as casual centric as Mario Party 8 (even though it is accessible)
3. I don't think Nintendo is going to heavily advertise this game. When Warioware, Mario Party, Paper Mario and Wii Play came out, there were a lot of TV ads. Pokemon Battle Revolution didn't get much in TV ads compared to those, and I expect Mario Strikers to be closer to that. I still haven't seen a single TV ad for Mario Strikers.


I was going to say the same thing.  On the one hand the Gamecube version wasn't as good and did alright but then it was also released with a 12 million install base and was one of the only good major games for the Cube at that point.  Overall I would think they would cancel and result in 120-150k first week and 250-300k forst month.  It's just hard to say since soccer really isn't popular but this isn't traditional soccer (heck if the World Cup had players flipping 20 feet in the air to kick 3 balls in rapid succession and 12-8 scores even I would watch it).
