We should be prepared for upcoming major bombs (Nights etc., Mario and Sonic...)Is there a chance that this game sell more than Sunshine in Japan. Right now it's 80k behind Sunshine. What can we expect next week. I think it definitely won't sell more than 100k. I expect something around 70k. Will it break 500k in Japan lifetime? |
Super Mario Galaxy will easily sell better than Sunshine over the life of the Wii. My reasoning follows:
(1) SMG is a much better game. I played Sunshine and it wasn't nearly as fun as SMG is.
(2) The Wii will likely have at _least_ twice the installed base as the gamecube did in Japan. Even with 1/2 of the attach rate of Sunshine, SMG would surpass it. And I believe point (1) above will keep the attach rate relatively good.
