| bigjon said: they did not start advertising CODwaw until December, when the holiday rush started in earnest. also to add, wii games CAN be front loaded *good openings* with some hype, See SSBB, MKWii, SMG, and WiiFit. I am gonna predict 175k in NA first week and 85k in Others, so 270k ww assuming maybe 10k in Japan, IF!! it get really good reviews (like 92 meta or above) maybe up to 400k WW first week (the 270k was assuming it get around an 85 meta, if it really sucks, it deserves to bomb) |
But most of those are 1st parties though. of course it would sell even animal crossing. We're talking 3rd parties here and I doubt it will sell in its 1st week as expected.
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
