Out of the four wii games, Mad world I think is the least likely to hit a million. Who is Mad World going to appeal to that No More Heroes didn't? A few extra will be grabbed by the art style but 600,000 extra?

The previous Sonic game hit 1 million, so there's a chance for Black Knight to do so.

RE Umbrella chronicles hit 1 million so it's at least possible for another light gun shooter to do so.

The conduit has a buttload of hype behind it, is making every attempt at being a "modern" FPS, and while I think it may struggle (looking at the latest COD), I think it can hit 1 million. Metroid Prime 3 and Red Steel both managed.

But Mad World? The closest game to it as a reference mark is No More Heroes, which while beloved is struggling to hit 400k. It had plenty of internet ads, exposure, clips on gametrailers, good to great reviews, word of mouth, and less than 400k. I think Mad World is going to have it's work cut out for it.

 

 My thoughts exactly. Except S&TSR will hit 2m any day now.   My best hope for MadWorld is it'll control similar to Godfather and be tons of fun.  But it's still very niche.   Bizarre art styles never sell well.
