MGC only represents a fraction of the XBL user base. Although it's used in the calculations, there's a lot more to consider when extrapolating sales from MGC:
- When the game was release
- Genre of game
- Comparables
In the case of Monkey Island, 6,123 users have bought it in 3 days, as per MGC. Since I've worked with MGC numbers for almost 2 years now, I can somewhat safely extrapolate numbers based on MGC vs. actuals and/or leaderboards (if they are valid).
In Monkey Island's case, it'll look like:
30,000 first week (first ~3 days)
30,000 second week (next 7 days)
10,000-15,000 third week (ending the month)
___________
Total: 70,000-75,000, maybe more. It really depends on how the legs go. I'd say 70-80k would be a good number for ME. But things have been crazy lately, so it may be a little less.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
