Ubisoft will send it to die.

First week --- 80k

Lifetime sales --- 425k



Game Informer magazine just had a very positive 1st impression of the game. They said that the graphics push the capabilities of the Wii, and that the gameplay was equally as impressive. They said the controllers schemes worked very well and that everything seemed to run smoothly.

If Ubisoft leaves a possible gem like this to die, just to prove a point that Wii games don't sell, then I will never buy an Ubisoft game ever again.

Even if Ubisoft leaves this game to die, I think it still has a chance to break a million.

Activision left Modern Warfare Reflex to die, and that game actually should sell well past a million.

I think Red Steel 2 should have broad popularity as there just aren't many games of this quality on the Wii. I expect it to do 500K in a worst case scenario. If word of mouth catches this game then this game can sell a million or more. It all just depends on how much Ubisoft markets, and how much the general public responds.



 

Most anticipated games of 2011:

Uncharted 3,Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Rocksmith

Modern Warfare 3, Super Mario 3D

 

Ubisoft needs to start promoting their new IPs.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

The first game sold 1.19 million copies WW without any promotion from Ubisoft or any tv ads. So I think this game will sell 1 million copies lifetime.

im praying for over a million... the first red steel did, people complained back then that the sword fighting sucked ass, ubisoft fixed that in red steel 2 and im hoping it will reach a over a million because of the Unique sword fighting




WOW 1million, I think their going to have a hard time getting rid of it so I think 350k life-time and they will bitch about it not selling but I'd be happy just for once if they took a game that did bad on wii and put it on both of the other console and seen for them selfs that its not just wii owners who don't wan't the game its everybody doesn't want the game.............



the first RED STEEL HAD ALOT OF PROMOTION behind it THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT MY WII and it turned out ok but it also kind of sucked also...........



I think it will review alright though, I think it will average a 8.1 out of 10...........



IF it reaches a million I will be happy for Ubisoft. However, I do not know anyone in real life that  cared for the first one including myself. Not all but a ton of sequels if not most sell less than than the first so 600k at most.
