OMG !!!! Boogie is going to "bomb" !!

[shams]

I see no evidence that it will "bomb":

 - SingStar is really popular, and has infinite legs. This game is basically SingStar for the Wii.

 - This is EA guys. Even their titles that BOMB, do large number of units. Huge marketing budget, etc. This is one of their big Wii titles, to secure themselves a good foothold in the Wii market.

 - casual title. Appeals to just the people that the Wii does - that are not "typical" gamers. Even the reviews may have minimal impact on the overall sales.

...

I will definitely be buying it, probably the week it is released here. I hate kareoke (with a passion), although that may be related to the fact that I have the singing voice of a strangled cat ;)

But... my partner (think Asian chick from Singapore) has been hassling me from Wii day#1 for a kareoke/singing game. I just don't have any say in the matter (whether I end up playing it is another question...).

...

I wouldn't be surprised to see it push 100k in the first week on sale - although 25-30k in the US may be more realistic. I have no idea how well SingStar has done there.
