Well I think most agree that Heavy Rain is a tougher sale but also Heavy Rain has been hyped for a couple of years now. Epic Mickey has had a GI cover and some talk before it about its existence. If that continues, Heavy Rain will easily crush its sales due to lack of hyping and marketing for the other. Of course I would hope Disney would market it as a big game on Wii, but given track record of Wii games before this, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.


For now I'm going to go with Heavy Rain, but as for potential, the potential of sales for Epic Mickey exceeds that of Heavy Rain but its just whether or not Disney wants to pursue those. Considering I'm still picking Heavy Rain, shows you how much faith I actually have in them haha.

I don't think you know this but they already stated that Epic Mickey is a big deal for the entire company and such. They're going to market it loads, this isn't a niche game.

Yeah, I don't understand how people miss this (though maybe they haven't looked into things). Disney went out of their way to acquire Junction Point Studios (Warren Spector) in order to make this game, why would they skimp out on advertisement? That would be a huge waste of money. This is one of the few AAA western titles on the Wii, it can't be compared to other games crapped out on the DS / Wii.

Also, it's freaking Mickey Mouse, the company mascot. He may not be as big as Mario, but he fares pretty well when compared to the rest of the games Disney has come out with.

Finally, Warren Spector's involvement really seals the deal. The chances of the game disappointing are slim, as he's got a great track record.

I'll say this right now, I'll be surprised (and disappointed) if the game doesn't nab at least 2 million (I'm expecting a lot more, tbh).
