I think my prediction of 10k for the first week was a bit too high. 15k LTD seems right. It's good to see that their current "no announcement or info until the game is almost out" policy is not working. I wonder how they plan to meet thir projections if all the games they release are starting to bomb. Disaster, Trace Memory R, Family Jockey Wii, Tact of Magic, Captain Rainbow. Then all those games are the ones that don't make it here to the West, because of poor sales that were induced by their own ignorance on how to sell a game that is not an established IP. Also here in the West, Excitebots bombed hard, I don't know what's going to happen with Punch-Out, hopefully brand name alone will save it from disgrace. |
The weird thing is, they advertise on TV ALL the time. They spend a fortune. I've seen a load of ads for Wii Motion +, Wii Channels (??), and WiiWare. Not a single one for Tact of Magic though. Maybe I just missed it, or maybe Nintendo think this will sell itself. Or maybe they know stuff like this doesnt sell on the Wii...
