halo reach is pretty well guaranteed to pass 10 million, epic mickey would be massively successful if it break 2-3 million.
i don't know where you got this "Disney promises a huge marketing campaign" thing but mark my words - the week of release we will see a thread asking where the advertisement for epic mickey is followed by a bunch of blaming on Disney for sending this game out to die. |
Well,there will be Epic Mickey books.
Disney plans to publish several books coinciding with the launch of Warren Spector's Wii title, which arrives in September.

When Mickey Mouse accidentally spills paint and paint thinner on a rendering of a model word called the Cartoon Wasteland, mayhem ensues! Unbeknownst to Mickey, the spill creates an evil monster called the Phantom Blot who will stop at nothing to take control of the Wasteland, and everything in it, including Mickey’s older half brother, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! Unable to stop the Phantom Blot, Oswald goes into hiding and the Cartoon Wasteland is transformed into a hideous and twisted world.
Many years passed and Mickey went on with his life, until one day he gets sucked through a mirror -- and winds up in the Cartoon Wasteland! Armed with just a magical paintbrush that he took with him, Mickey must stop a Mad Doctor who works closely with the Phantom Blot, earn back his half-brother’s trust, and save the Cartoon Wasteland.

But,above all...
"I think we've tried to learn from the things Nintendo does well. One of the things that Nintendo does on their own platforms is they give their projects the time and appropriate resources to be successful, and they iterate until they get there. And I think we're doing the same with Epic Mickey, giving it the time and resources to be successful. I'll tell you that I don't think all other third parties are approaching the Wii in the same way. If there's a third-party game that I think has potential to be as successful on the Wii to Nintendo levels, I'd like to think it's Disney Epic Mickey. We're following the same playbook. This has been a conscious approach, to try to withhold Mickey from the marketplace a little bit. I didn't feel that we've been doing him justice in the games business. Simply using him as an icon or an avatar in a game really doesn't do a whole lot for us, and it doesn't agree with the value of who Mickey is as a character.We came up with the idea a few years back for Epic Mickey, and have been assembling the right creative team. It took us a while to find the right creative team and visionary to put behind it. Warren Spector has taken that idea and really evolved it. I think it'll be an awesome game." - Disney Interactive Studios executive VP and general manager Graham Hopper
However,maybe,we have to wait until E3 to make first previsions about the possible battle
