| curl-6 said: On Wii new IPs like Xenoblade, Shaun White Snowboarding, Endless Ocean, Boom Blox, and de Blob were able to carve out solid sales. Pikmin 3's already at 350k after just 1 week in NA, 3 in Europe, and 5 in Japan. It has a good shot at reaching Pikmin 2 GCN numbers. I very much doubt it has to do huge numbers to break even; this is Nintendo, they don't blow their budget on unsustainably expensive games like much of the rest of the industry. X and Bayonetta are not in the same position as W101 at all; they don't have its overwhelming problems. |

I dont think this game is as cheap as you would think it is. Probably a good amount more than anything on the Wii Nintendo did for the sole reason being its HD
