Off to a much quicker start than Carnival games, the game is already at about 900k give or take 10k when we get others data. The previous ones had really good legs (I believe RRR2 was only at about 450k at the end of 07, and sold another million) but I think this puppy will be chugging along for a good while. Should make 1 million next week, and if not next week defitity the week after RRR2 took about til spring if a recall (same time as UC, MySims, and LegoSW)... but spring (april 1 for good measure) I think this game will be ay or around 1.6-1.75 mil... And nearing 3 million by the time the next holiday season ( about the same a Carnival Games). I think its wiifit comp. will only add to its legs, on top of the fact it is better game.
Personaly I prefer this game doing well over carnival games (party because the dude on the box scares me...) because it raises the chance we might get a "real" Rayman. The brandname of Rayman has been reborn, and if they make a good game, who know, it could do well.
