| jarrod said: Somtheing else people don't seem to be factoring is generational franchise growth on Wii. I'm not sure exactly why people think Other M will automatically undersell Prime 1 when in about every other case, we've seen Nintendo's premier franchises perform better on Wii (Mario Galaxy vs Sunshine, Smash Brawl vs Melee, Twilight Princess vs The Wind Waker, Mario Kart Wii vs Double Dash, etc). I guess you could try to point out Prime 3, but it was basically entirely unpromoted and it still outsold Prime 2... |
And it came out very early in the Wiis life. Regardless, most of the people who bought Prime 3 were just fans of the Prime series and people going to places like IGN who bought into the 'hype'. Thgat's why this game is going to be poised to sell a lot more, due to it having thw same affect as Mario Galaxy, Zelda Wii, etc. Its going to be 'fresh', like Metroid Prime was on the GameCube. Difference is, Metroid Prime was on the 'last place' console before, which had a much smaller userbase than the Wii.
As I said before, it's not going to sell crazy like Mario Galaxy at 8 million, but it'll do better than most Metroids. Including Metroid Prime I'm betting. Most likely over 2 million and I'm guessing around 2.5-3.5 million.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
