You might not think it will make it to 30million but to say it doesn't have a chance is simply ignorance - if Nintendo plays their cards right WSR could easily pass 30 million (just like Wii Sports, Wii Play, and Mario Kart Wii have/will) |
It's not ignorance. It's confidence in my fairly logical prediction. You use those 3 examples, lets look at them:
Wii Sports has been bundled with the majority of Wiis made, so it is hardly a basis to compare to. Wii Play, as well, was bundled with a peripheral. I, and most others I feel, who loved Wii Sports, thought that Wii Play was largely useless. If it was stand alone, it would have sold nowhere near what it did. (And even so, it's still not at even 24m, let alone 30.) As for Mario Kart Wii, it's Nintendo's biggest Wii game by a HUGE margin, and it's standing at 16m sales after 61 weeks. You think it will double in sales?
WSR would not only have to be huge, but it would need to have a 25% attach rate(which is unlikely) assuming the Wii goes on to sell 70M more units(which is possible).
Will the game do fantastic and move millions and millions of units? Yes. But anyone basing the anticipated sales on how many Wii Sports units have been moved will be sorely disappointed.
