I think Wii Party will be epic.  Another 10-20m seller.   It is a system seller and aside from GT5 probably the only true system seller coming out this year.   Not because it's a mini-game fest, but because Nintendo understands fun and this will be a really fun game for everyone, kids, grandparents and gamers alike.

Kirby, Metroid, DKCR will all sell solidly, like previous versions in their respective series.  IE: MoM 1-2m, K:EY - 2-5m, DKCR 3-6m

Pokepark will sell mostly to children but should be good for 1-2m

FlingSmash?  Unless it's promoted heavily, will fly under everyone's radar and would be lucky to hit 500k

Why will it be a system seller?

Because like Wii Sports, it's the type of title that people will play at their friend/cousin's/grandkids house, love and want to buy a Wii to play themselves.


That's the keyword here :)

Why will pepole who weren't interested in the Wii so far, will suddenly be interested just because of Wii Party?

More new quality content for the expanded market means more people finally giving in and buying the system. The same thing was argued about Wii Sports Resort when it came out and people didn't think it would push hardware because it was similar to Wii Sports. Then the Wii Sports Bundle came out in May, and the standalone version of WSR disappeared from the charts. Turns out nearly everyone buying WSR was buying it along with a new system.

Wii Party, if it is a huge 10m selling game, will certainly push hardware sales in this way. When a game is that large, there is no question that it will move hardware.
