| lapsed_gamer said: I really don't get the predictions for Animal Crossing. People keep looking to the sales of the DS version. I don't know too mauch about this game, but it seems like it is built for the DS. The GC version did well, but not near the numbers you are talking. Is there a game I am missing that shows that a Wii version of a GC game can sell 4-5 times its console predecesor? I predict 5-6 million (still double). Edit: Sorry 3-4 times... |
Reasons for huge AC sales predictions:
AC is now an established IP. It was new for the Gamecube. (at least outside of Japan)
Wii console sales should end up at 4-5 times the Gamecube. It makes sense that game sales will be much higher.
It fits in perfectly with the Wii casual demographic.
The bundle with the Wii Speak will drive sales for people who want the mic.
It will have long, long legs.
