Two of the biggest 3rd party title games on the Wii are getting ready to see direct sequels in the second half of 2010.
Right now VGChartz has the total for the Wii version of Carnival games just slightly higher than those of Just Dance, but Just Dance will be in the lead in a couple of weeks.
So my question is which of these two games do you think will have higher total sales?
I think the Just Dance franchise definitely has the momentum right now, but Just Dance 2 is going to have competition in the form of the orginal game which is still selling well and Dance on Broadway which just released and seems like it may become a hit in Europe. Plus it seems games that have sequels release soon after the original don't do so well on the Wii (for ex. Boom Blox Bash Party)
New Carnival Games has the "New" description in it, similar to New Super Mario Bros. It is also going to utilize the MotionPlus device which should help change gameplay up a bit. New Carnival Games however also has a DS version which may detract sales from the Wii version. Also Nintendo is going to be releasing Wii Party, which might also be in direct competition with New Carnival Games.
So what do you think, which game will sell more and what do you expect the total sales of both games to be?
I think both are going to see lower totals from the original, but am going to give the edge to New Carnival Games, and say it will get to 2.2 million and Just Dance 2 at 2 million total.
