Will the Harry Potter Wii title be FF7 great?

No.

It won't sell 7m copies worldwide and suddenly break a marketshare base (IE, FF7 actually sold in NA, a feat no other FF title did).

It'll sell 1m units worldwide, max.

Wrong. Across all platforms (and it IS coming to all platforms) it will sell a hell of a lot more than that. The first(I think it was the first) HP game sold 9 MILLION (maybe more) for EA. The Wii version may only sell 1m (or it may sell a lot more... who knows).

The HP gaming series has been on a downward slope for some time now, but Im hoping this is the game to finally translate potential into success. Combine the fact that the last book will be out soon, with the newest movie release - and there is going to be a lot of HP mania happening (soon).

"CEO Larry Probst attributed the growth to the company's broad support for new gaming systems such as Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo's GameCube, particularly titles based on the "Harry Potter" movie, which sold 9 million units. Probst also touted improved results for EA.com, the company's money-losing online gaming arm."
