Kid Icarus is a trully desired IP revival by most older Nintendo gamers. Now that there is a new hardware in the works, its a perfect oportunity IMO to finally make a new game. It comes from a reliable developer, and as a technical showcase for the core 3DS audience. If advertised correctly it could easily do 2 million .

 

Never the less Im betting ~ 1.5 million worst case, while Pahntom Hourglass numbers in best case

 

Other than that I agree with your predictions

 


Icarus will have mega legs because it's the major launch title and tech demo for the 3DS. Same reason Uncharted had legs on the PS3. Not a lot of competition, means most new 3DS owners will pick it up. It's a full fledged, high dollar GOOD 3DS game from ground up and those will be few and far between at launch.

If the game wasn't the flagship game for a new console, you would be right, but I think that it will have megalegs, spured by word of mouth and over-rated reviews, due to the newness of the tech(see Perfect Dark 0).

That said, the game looks great, and should be AAA.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
