Looks like my prediction of less than 100k lifetime may be dead-on. Despite the marketing campaign, the game didn't really look that good, so it's no surprise.

No it will most likely do quite a bit better than that. It had a WW opening of almost 30k.

I expect the numbers to drop off pretty sharply after the 1st week, plus I don't see it performing well over the holidays.

The thing that i've noticed about Kinect games though is that they may not have spectacular launches but they just keep trucking along. 

Here are some FW sales compared to lifetime for a a bunch of Kinect games.

 

Kinect Sports: FW = 305k, LTD (life Time to Date) = 3.27 Million

Body and Brain Connection: FW = 5k, LTD = 74k 

Game Party in Motion: FW = 43k, LTD = 358k

EA Sports Active 2: FW = 15k, LTD = 278k

Dance Central: FW = 163k, LTD = 2.19 Million

Dance Masters: FW = 8k, LTD =81k

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved: FW = 73k, LTD = 924k

Kinect Joy Ride: FW = 63k, LTD = 882k

 

And here is one that opened up near to what this game did plus it also had horrible reviews.

Sonic Free Riders: FW = 38k, LTD = 507k

 

 

Mark my words this game will pass 250k and it will do it without breaking too much of a sweat.
