I kinda fear for Red Steel 2 though.
They didn't even mention it.
Delayed further? Going to PS3? Not a good game? argh...


They have probably reduced expectations but otherwise it'll be out.   Unless they market this strongly I don't see it selling well either.   

Red Steel 2 will be a million seller. Every Wii fan has wanted a sword fighting game since the Wii remote was first revealed. Now Red Steel 2 is offering a sword fighting game using Motion+. Wii gamers will be all over this game, just watch.


The more core market which had Wii's in year one would have yes.   That market is pretty much all multi-console now and RS2 would have to compete with CoD5, AC2, etc for those gaming dollars.   Don't see RS2 coming out ahead.

The more 'casual' Wii owners have no idea what Red Steel is.  Plus they got enough sword action in WSR for most of them.  Nor does RS2 allow you to play with/against your friend/kid/sibling/girl - a major oversight.  If this was Star Wars Jedi Knight Action it would sell 1m easy.   5m likely.

With lots of TV ads showing the 1:1 sword fighting and gunplay, it might hit 1m.  But I don't expect that kind of support.   Sales will like be closer to 500k.
