Forums - Nintendo - Predict sales of the 4 big upcoming core games!

I'm talking about Zelda Swords, Donkey Kong Country, Epic Mickey and Kirby Yarn of course.

I'm thinking:

Zelda Swords - 6 million

Donkey Kong Country - 4 million

Kirby Yarn - 2.5 million

Epic Mickey - 1.3 million (will struggle to reach that number no matter how great I think it looks)

I'll throw Metroid M in there too since it was just released. I believe 1.2 million.

This realistic or am I too low?

Really good estimations.  Maybe Donkey Kong can do 5 millions though. Hope every game do more than that.



Zelda at least 5 million. Who knows, it might even sell much more than that, possibly exceeding OOT, with the control overhauls, improved accessibility and such...

DKCR, probably 3M , and depending on marketing and word-of mouth, it could do crazy numbers.

The other 2 I dunno... Epic Mickey might not even cross 1 million (I wouldn't be surprised), then again it might just surprise us all. Kirby will do fine, no Mario Bros.-like numbers, but a few million, most likely.

Also, I really like the look of that DKCR cover.

My predictions...

Skyward Swords - 5 million (I'm not sure if it will sell more than Twilight Princess) 

Donkey Kong Country - 10 million (DK can "save" one more Nintendo console) 

Kirby Yarn - 3.0 million (I'm a bit optimistic about this game but I don't know why) 

Epic Mickey - 1.5 million (It's already doing very well in pre-orders charts and will have nice lags)  



 

Zelda - 7.5 m - Real swordfighting would attract a lot of buyers. How people wanted that in Zelda. I sure do.

Donkey kong country returns  - 6 m - It's a 2.5 D Kong: this game could push one million in Japan alone.

Kirby - 3.5 m -  It's cuteness is of the scale. And it has co-up - perfect to play with women. It might even do better. 

Epic Mickey - i'm with you on that one. Micky isn't that big any more. And the dark-like theme doens't help.

Metroid other m - 2 m - I hope so. At least it's more accessiblethen the previous ones.

The demo was more a controls try-out, then a real showcase of the game.
