I think lifetime sales of 4-5 million world wide. Two million is a very pessimistic outlook. Will it flop, heck no by any standards even a million would make it a success. Look at Pikmin during the GameCube era it broke a million with both titles and Nintendo as well as gamers considered it a huge success.

I think Kirby will do way better then the likes of Pikmin. Meaning it will be a huge success.

This game is from Feel Good.  The same guys that gave us Wario Land: Shake It.  Considering that title never made it to 1 million and the studio is still making titles, I doubt they'll need to do too much better on Epic Yarn.

Doesn't matter what studio made the game. Kirby is a bigger IP then Wario and having played the game it is a much superior product. Also Wario Land had to compete with many of Nintendo's bigger IP's during the holidays where as Kirby and Donkey Kong basically have no competition on the Wii. Their are no bigger titles coming to the Wii this winter/fall.

I stand by my bet, think of it like Mario Galaxy came from the same studio that did Jungle Beat, yet Mario Galaxy sold over 8 times the amount of copies. In the world of Nintendo you can't count a title out just because the studio's last game failed to generate significant sales.

Also keep in mind that I expect Country Returns to outsell any and all of the Metroid Prime games. Again same studio but the IP for Donkey Kong is much bigger then Metroid.
