I'll buy it though! |
the namerecognition of Nintendo guarantees this wil lsell more than Zack and Wiki and No More Heroes. I am not saying this will be huge but I definitely see this pushing less than Metroid. I think it will be in the 400-700K range, unless it is phenominal. Case in point woudl be Goldeneye, a game that when I first saw I was like this is going to flop it looks bad(turok had better quality character models) and it didn't look like much fun, even critics at then N64.com come had bad things to say about it. I didn't think it was going to sell outside of the Bond name. Well that game went on to be perhaps the best game on the 64 and even gave games like Mario Kart a run for their money in terms of play time and is one of the reasons that Nintnedo purchased RARE.
As for Nintendo never having as much money. Nintendo has always been the most profitable in the game business. They will always buy into a studio but only if they see a benefit for them. It seems they have a lot of faith in Monolith now whether it is because fo this game or the rumored RPG that Monolith is making remains to be seen but I still see this easily doubling NMHs numbers
