Nintendo wanted this game to double the sales of Corruption. |
Oh dear... well, it still could, maybe... but it's as likely as Okami selling 1mil.

Maybe in Japan, where it has a nice boxart. The one for Europe (U.S. is the same I think) is rather bland. |
I haven't seen the Americas boxart, but I quite liked the UK one...
Conegamer said: But there's more people with Wii's now isn't there? If they go into a shop and see this game, they'll more likely pick it up. I reckon it'll meet expectation (around 600,000 by year end) easily. |
"likely" is irrelevant at this point. What matters is people who WILL buy a game, not the potential customers of a userbase.
The SAME Wii owners that made No More Heroes a modest hit didn't do the same for the sequel. There were more people, so it just shows they won't buy a game simply because they have a Wii. They also have to want a game.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

That's a matter of taste, but what I mean is the Japanese box really pops, while the EU/US one is pretty dark and generic.
EU/US box

True, but this doesn't explain why games such as Just Dance sell so well :/

I see, but the eu box art ain't too bad IMO. Though, I'd much rather have the Japanese one...
POP ART FTW!

How is that related to sequel sales? And if you are bringing up quality, some people just want to goof around, even the "hardcore" gamers.

Why hello there people. Back from my long break from this forum to proclaim one thing:
I really liked the game. Wasn't disappointed.
That is all from me. Just continue what you were doing before I stepped in.

You also said Spirit Tracks was amazing or something like that. This just confirms how much wrong there is with Metroid: Other M. |
Spirit Tracks and Other M are eerily similar, actually. Considered by many to be a too-radical departure from their franchise's conventions, slammed by Malstrom as examples of game gods gone wild, and also owners of the strongest characterization in their respective franchises (the excellent growth of Zelda in Spirit Tracks was commendable, and gives me high hopes for what they might be capable of in Skyward Sword)

I just have to do this.
