Slimebeast, read some hands on impressions of Skyward Sword-I read a dozen or so, and they were all positive. That terrible on stage demo was more down to technical problems than poor design or poor controls.

For Kirby I'd expect over 1.5m, it'll get lost in Europe during Q1. For DKCR, I expect around 4-5million based on the strength of the franchise in America, and a big marketing push from Nintendo. Epic Mickey I'd like to see do a couple of million, but with it being a third party Wii game it's all up in the air. And for Zelda, 5 million is the minimum I expect. If this has enough hype and marketing around it, it could go as high as 7 or 8 million. TP's sales across GC and Wii top out at above 7.5million, don't they? Skyward Sword will hopefully do something similar.

 

EDIT: I checked on VGC, and by those numbers Twilight Princess has sold around 7.21 million across GC and Wii. So under my initial statement, but I doubt Skyward Sword will fall significantly under that.
