Read the feature for myself today. It's very positive. Edge seems unaware that Smash Bros exists though.

I think it's going to pass 10M.

- Unique take on a classic genre (that's become stale, imo).
- SP/2P/4P/party/online/competetive/'gentle excercise' game.
- The 'hardcore' are starting to admit that motion controls are superior.
- Accessible with tons of depth.
- New colour option and a new accessory to keep motion control fully charged.
- Boxart with female character beating up male character = hit with the ladies.

      

10 million is a lot. I think 2/3 M is very reasonable, if Nintendo can continue to push the NS like they are doing now.

If it was just a singleplayer + online game for the boys I'd agree with 2-3M. I think it'll have much broader appeal. Just Dance user reviews show some buyers bought it as an aerobic/light workout game, Wii Sports was used a similar way. I think Arms will join that list. Not to mention it's the Mario Kart team and they're pretty good at making games easily accessible/games for everyone.
