I think the news about the PS3 port might kill some of the sales after Christmas.  This game may struggle to get much over 2M.

You don't get it. This game may get a ps3 port because it sold well on the wii - which it's doing > 826k and growing.

If Epic mickey can't sell on the wii - disney best audience console - then it won't be a succes on any other console.

 

Well apparently all is well.  Someone said that report of Epic Mickey going to PS3 was a hoax.  If it was not a hoax it would have been dangerously pre-mature.  I don't think any developer would want to risk announcing a superior port just weeks after release of the original version of the game. I think my point is still valid though-- Wii games have legs that can last for years-- even 3rd party games like CoD, Cabella, Just Dance, etc.  Epic Mickey may have some of its legs cut out from under it if a PS3 version is released a few months after release.  It should be interesting to see how Epic Mickey goes though.

Mass Effect 2 wouldn't have sold as well on the 360 if Bioware, 1 month after release, suddenly announced they were going to port to PS3.  The way they waited a good 6 months or more before announcing the PS3 ME2 made much more sense.
