I finally got time to really look at the Jan. 10 US game sales and I noticed something interesting. While still far behind the HD versions in absolute numbers, CoD WaW Wii is really starting to roll.
A month ago it was 77th, last week it was 41st , this week it is 25th in game sales at 32K. That puts it ahead of Wii Music and only 200 behind Animal Crossing and less than 1K behind SSBB. Quite a change!
Looking at it another way, the Xbox sold an impressive 99K this week but that is only 11% of the launch week numbers. The PS3 sold 54K which is 14% of launch week. At 32K the Wii sales are at 72% of launch week. These are definite signs of a game starting to grow legs and it may yet confound the nay sayers. I can't wait to see the next few weeks.
Who knows where it will wind up but I like the momentum and I'm sticking by my prediction.
