@ montana, WaW has 7.1m sales already, without the competition from Gears and Resistance (less so), larger install bases and a better game, I think it can get to 9m, and I hope MK Wii does not sell that much, and that would be a ridiculous attach ratio, though still perfectly possible |
By the last week of '08, the sales were only 6.4 million combined for WaW. We still don't know the entire lineup for the end of the year anyways. It's pretty unlikely unless the European launches were to become larger and more frontloaded. 9 million is definitely possible, but not in 2 months. Hell, after 2 months, the two versions of GTA4 did 9.5 million worldwide. Mario Kart Wii may not sell that much, but it will definitely sell a large amount. 25 million wouldn't be ridiculous sales if the Wii were to sell, say...20 million this year and end up at about 65 million.

If it had 25m sales, and the install base was 60-70m that is still one of the highest attach ratios ever, and is this game really that good?
I don't see 9m, but 8m is a possibility

So far the attach rate is about 33% only 8 months after the release of the game. If my prediction came true, the attach rate would be about 40%. Fairly high, but you have to remember that Wii Fit and Wii Play both have higher attach rates, with Wii Play's attach rate being about 44%. It's not an incredibly good game, but neither were Nintendogs or Brain Training. I could be overestimating the game's sales and underestimating the Wii's sales, but I still see Mario Kart selling more than Call of Duty.
