Check first day sales, it "bombed", like most WII games do, like a Nights will do, a Zack & Wiki did and like a No More Heroes did and I'm so sick and tired of all these excuses of why these games are bombing. Japan only goes like awaaa wah wah for a WII Fit and the rest can stuff it up. Yeah... sorry... I'M FREAKING OUT . I really like to slap people around out there in Japan. |
The Japanese consumer usually doesn't go with new IP's. If "We Love Golf" is good it will get a lot of word of mouth sales and do okay. If Minna no Golf stumbles, and it looks like it might be, then you should expect much better sales for "We Love Golf 2". It would be very similar to how Brain Age 2 outsold the original so quickly.
Since from what I've heard WLG is a good golf game, and I would expect no less from Camelot, I'm sure that the sequel is in the works already and they are banking on the second one to make the sales for the series. The first just has to break even and prove itself, not just in Japan but worldwide. This cycle will take place many times with the new IP's and even ported over series to the Wii.
