The Amazon ranking isn't very good for this. This is going to need some incredible legs to get some of the numbers people posted here. I'm hoping it will do well, but I think it will start very slowly. Don't be shocked if week one numbers are very low.

 You don't think the IGNWii readership will account for anything?  Surely there are enough Cassamasina fans to give this game a good start.

 

I don't think it will do well in the long run.  I think it's first week sales will dwarf everything that comes after.  

I'm thinking week one...55,000.

End of Year....200,000

Lifetime...250,000. 

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this appealing to the blue-ocean Wii crowd.  What are we considering a flop for this game anyway?

It would have to be quite bad to be a flop.  Seriously they probably make a profit at around 100k WW or something. 

 It looks like a great game, but with no advertising I'm not sure how well it will do.  Seriously, if IGN didn't hype it up so much we would not be talking about it, if you walk in the store and see it on the shelf you will certainly not have the urge to buy it if you haven't read about it.  The name Zack and Wiki is an immediate turn off for many people actually.
