Just for reference, the NA launch of the first No More Heroes only sold 35k. If this one does 50k on week one, I'm ready to call it a resounding success.

It is up against some powerful new releases this week, though.

Like what?

On the Wii there is tatsunoko vs capcom. Then there are also Mass Effect 2 and MAG - not on the Wii, but I would guess (though I could be wrong) quite a lot of NMH potentials are multiple console owners.

TvC is probably the bigger threat here

Which is to say it isn't much a threat

It probably faces more competition nfrom New Super Mario Bros. than any other game mentioned so far

The only thing it is competing against is Ubisoft itself. The game releases today or tomorrow and I haven't even seen an internet banner. I figure if you want your game to fail completely, this is a great way to do it.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom greatly benefitted from a creative ad campaign and has increased its potential first week sales by over 30%, which just goes to show you that people are willing to buy a game if made aware. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has completely neglected to do that....again. The game was fortunate enough to live off word of mouth the first time, but lightning won't strike twice.

How much you wanna bet the Wii consumers will be blamed for this sham release too? None of the gamers I know even heard of No More Heroes 1.
