| naznatips said: jimmy you're right, NiGHTS isn't hitting till 08 so I removed that. I just don't think RE:UC has anywhere near the kind of selling power it would need to hit 1 million this year. I don't even think it will hit 1 million lifetime. It's a niche genre (lightgun shooter) and it's not even all that good a game in that genre according to IGN. Yeah, obviously Link's Crossbow Training will but I'm not sure that's worthy of being counted lol. |
How dare you say any game with Zelda in the title doesn't deserve to be counted!!!! Ok, the Zelda whore in me has calmed down, so it may not deserve to be counted since it's sort of like Wii Play but according to IGN it's actually a better game than RE:UC at this point.
I would have to guess that Mario Galaxy will be the next 1 million seller on the Wii. If it hasn't sold 1 million in Japan alone by the time it releases in the US then first day US sales will put it over 1 million. The 3 main contenders to hit 1 million before Nov 12 are MP3, RE4, and Strikers. Using current US/JP sales and guesstimating EU sales based on GCN equivalent game attach rates I would guess those three will be at 830k, 930k, and 910k on Nov 12. I would say Strikers will hit 1 million by the end of Nov with MP3 following shortly after and RE4 doing it in early Dec.
My bet would be that the only other Wii games that will hit 1 million this year are GHIII and Mario & Sonic. Of games released this year I would say Zelda:LCT, RRR2, RE:UC, Z&W, and BWii have some chance of hitting 1 million eventually. Of the games coming out next year probably 10 will hit 1 million but I'll leave that for a different thread.
