Yeah, they should have learned from Sega's 4 million prediction with Mario & Sonic.

 

Please dear lord tell me somebody hacked your account and posted this. To compare an obviously simplified version of a minorly popular game to a game featuring the two biggest gaming icons in history is beyond absurd. I mean you are a really well respected poster, why sink to such. I just bought the game, see my impressions. Frankly you are putting a lot of your credibility in a very leaky raft. This game is not worth what you the effort putting into saving it.

 

Did I compare the games, or the popularity? I did not. Do you even know what happened after Sega stated they predicted 4 million sales? I don't think you do.

 

 

Wow where to start. First off I bought the game (and yes I can prove it), its mediocre, not terrible- which was obvious to most all of us for months, apparently not you however. 

And yes I know about what Sega said, first off that was combined Wii and DS. Secondly to compare a totally new game featuring 2 of gamings top sellers, centered around the world's #1 sporting event to a hacked down port of a game that only sold modestly is quite a stretch. I really hope you realize that as it seems pretty painfully obvious. I didn't expect M&S to sell 4 million but 3 million certainly seemed reasonable.
