| Arius Dion said: So for the record, when this game hits a million will it still be considered a flop? I mean NMH, Boom Blox, De Blob, ZW, hell even Wii music was called a flop on yahoo! Once the sales come all the ppl making remarks, such as kber's just fall into obscurity. I think the argument of Wii not selling 3rd party software is way past proven wrong. Yet some ppl hold onto to that straw. I think I even read that Wii sold more third party software than either of the other home consoles. |
its already not a "flop" if it were a stand alone wii game I would wait til a million to call it a success, but consider evem I before it came out was just hoping for 750k (which I believe it has reached) then ya its a success. At 2 million, it should be consider a smashing success.
I think the problem is people always look at the HD versions sales, and then hold these to the same standard.
1. CODWaW is not following COD4 on the Wii (was not one) so there is little fanbase already established for COD (i really doupt 3 helped its cause)
2. The Wii version is technically inferior, most people who own both consoles would rather get the HD version they know they will like, then get the Wii version that could just be shovelware (what happened to me)
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
