High profile Wii game bombing. Speculation of a Nintendo crash in Japan.

If Deca Sports 2 had sold well, it'd be "all 3rd parties will become Wii shovelware factories because it's what makes them money" confirmed.

If it doesn't sell well, Nintendo is about to crash and "the Wii is a fad" confirmed.

 

Don't forget that it works for all titles: if you buy this light-gun shooter, it means you want more in the future (true for me, but that's a whole 'nother story). If you don't buy this light-gun shooter, it means you're not interested in more fleshed out traditional titles.

So I take it that games that sell 2 million are no longer high profile?

True, Deca Sports 2 has been paraded around for months now. Remember all the coverage it's been getting up to release? I, for one, have its release date marked in my calendar. Day One, baby.

 Also, did the PS2 ever have a game go from 2 million sold to the sequel bombing?

What, it's "bombed" after a day? Damn, talk about high-pressure!

And yes. For example, the equally high-profile Shrek 2 sold 1.71 million, while the uber high-profile Shrek 3 sold less than a third of that.
