After watching the IGN coverage on it, I think I will pick it up in a few weeks. Looks like some really awesome oldschool puzzle game fun. You don't see many puzzle games these days that aren't lumines rip offs.
As for predictions, I'm optimistically thinking "mysims" style performance. It will start off slow, and then continue slow under the radar, untill some time next year somebody on VGchartz makes a topic saying it's a million seller.
REALLY optimistically, it could be one of those weird games that catches on to a far greater extent than people expect, like Carnival games did. And it will be a million seller with steady legs, that readily makes it into the top 10 wii games sold on a weekly basis.
Pessimistically, it could be that there just isn't much of a market for intelligent, high end, puzzle games that actually had some financial backing. You can go to walmart and buy 10 lumines clones for five bucks a piece, will there really be a market for a fleshed out, physics based puzzler with a high degree of customization, multiplayer, and online components for 50 dollars? It could have middling early sales and then drop off having sold maybe 200k before dying.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.
