SMG2 should be as much as any sequel has been this gen: a 1-2 week HW spike then a return to the pre-release baseline.

I have no clue about Metroid. How popular is the franchise? Is there something particularly special about Other M that the other Wii Metroids don't have?

Highly accessible 2-D gameplay requiring nothing but the nunchuck.

I thought you only played it wth only the wii-mote horizontal, and if you wanted a 3-d view you used the ir pointer....

That's what I said!


I thought You said it needed a nunchunk, or I just got confused, go figure >_>...

I am lying you caught me making a typo.



In the short term, Mario Galaxy 2 should effect system sales as there will be marketing and buzz that surrounds the game... plus it's a Mario game. The boost should be small though because it is an expansion pack/sequel.

Metroid: Other M won't do much of anything. I expect it to be sort of a flop. Core games like this aren't selling on the Wii. Metroid has never really even been that big of a seller anyways, so I don't know why people are making such a big deal about it.

The real system sellers are going to be those games that are unique. Monster Hunter 3 should be a pretty big system seller. Wii Relax, if successful, will be a gigantic system seller.



Metroid in Japan yes.

Mario, of course. They have to give us some bundles!



I know some people that got rid of their wii after the first galaxy and finding nothing appealing in the system to them,.... maybe people like this will end up buying a new system with galaxy 2!?

I think Mario will be a decent system sell, but nothing crazy - maybe the week of its release and the week after will see a small increase

as for Metroid, I doubt it. Metroid isn't one of those series where it sells millions and millions of copies at least not on wii (although it deserves to)



I started making videos for youtube; check them out.

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

yes and yes




Metroid is a system seller for me atleast and here is a live proof

Are Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M gonna be system sellers? No.



Generation 8 Predictions so far.....(as of 9/2013)

Console that will sell most: Nintendo Wii U

Who will sell more consoles between Microsoft/SONY: SONY

 

The only sequel that helped sell more consoles was Halo 2. Damn the hype for that game was through the roof. Even I bought an Xbox just to play it.
