The Wii (as in tiny) game sales thread.

[stof]

Yeah, I couldn't think of a good title, but I want this thread to track a rather unique new sales trend in Wii games. Games that open to sales so small you'd think they're supposed to launch next week, and then slowly climb. This isn't a Wii games have legs thread or Look how awesome this game will actually sell thread. This isn't about trying to prove anything, it's to keep an update on a rather interesting sales trend. I'm going to be looking at the weekly sales for a bunch of games that are seeing a slow burning increase in games sales to see where they go. Do they eventually sell well? who knows.

 

Ok, I'll be working on this one as I go. For now, throw me some suggestions of games that are seeing piss poor openings followed by great to slightly less piss poor sales. I figure we should stick to titles that open at around or under 10,000 sales.

 

Monster Lab - here's a good slow burner. Will this trend continue? And with weekly's so small, would it even matter if it did?

America

Week 1 - 2,144

Week 2 - 1,804

Week 3 - 3,294

Week 4 - 6,923

 

Namco Museum Remix - A great example. A game that didn't see double digits until week 5. Week 58 just moved 29,089 for Sales of 451,497.

Nerf N-Strike - now this is going to be a beast. Probably the biggest hitter to open in the basement. Can it hold though?
