Well, in my opinion, too much hype can also HURT sales. Sometimes it can set expectations too high, so when the game gets lower-than-stellar reviews, people see it as a bomb and avoid the purchase.
I can agree with one thing, though; it really IS nice just KNOWING that a certain game is in the works. But that's a rare case. Like Kirby :D I was so glad to hear that it's going to happen on the Wii. But there are plenty of examples where games get too much coverage and build up too much hype for their own good.
There HAS to be a magic number...the perfect in-between.
My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):
Wii : 50 million
360: 28 million
PS3: 24 million
These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised
