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

Sorry, im only going to predict DK, and 8 -10 million for Donkey Kong is a very likely result.

2 players Co-op, structurally its a NSMBW sequel, and its a Christmas release. ITS GOING TO EXPLODE!!!



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

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

Zelda - 5m

I think this pretty much confirms how unimpressed people were with Zelda Swords...

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

Yes it was but there has been a few boss fight videos posted over at Gametrailers and the user scores have been bysmal.

The scorpion like boss fight likely wil not even be in the final game.  The entire demo stage (including that boss fight) is not in the game itself.  The whole thing is a construct just to try out the various gesture based controls.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword should sell slightly less than the combined total of Twilight Princess with 7 million. Donkey Kong Country Returns should sell 6.4 million, thus would become the second best selling Donkey Kong Country Game. Kirby's Epic Yarn should slightly surpass 2 million (2.1 million). Epic Mickey should sell 1.4 million, commencing it as the best selling Mickey Mouse game.



DKC 7-10m

Kirby 3-5m

Epic Mickey 2-4m

SS 6-7m

Also Slimebeast..some one needs ta pay up ; )



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Guys, DKC will NOT sell less than 9 million, guaranteed. It's the first 2d Donkey Kong game we've had in well over a decade. The same people who raced out to get NSMB, are going to get this game. 

 

I'm thinking 11 million units when all is said and done.
