Cryoakira and Johnsobas:
Good stuff. So 100K first day may indicate the game is performing within optimistic, but still reasonable expectations, lending weight to the rumor. People blown away by the number, including myself, hadn't checked the history or the expecations.
So if this 100K first day is accurate, the question is whether the Wii Zapper can extend the legs of the game. Most lightgun shooters come with an expensive accessory only usable in one game. This game comes with a cheap accessory usable in a number of games.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
