I think that maybe we shouldn't call Other M off just yet. Remember what happened with Darkside Chronicles? De Blob? Boom Blox?

 

etc.

 

Basically, Wii owners will buy it next time they go into the shops for Christmas. I see it nearing 500k by the end of the year. Let's see.


It's too early to tell much about Metroid. We don't have the American numbers yet, legs are weird for some Wii games in Europe, and who knows who will win this holiday? I wouldn't be horribly surprised if M:oM got either below 1 million sales OR rivaled Metroid Prime.

Okay people, the "Legacy deal" (only included Wii Sports) was in the US. In the UK several retailers had a discount on the Wii package that included Wii Sports Resort, both black and white versions, for Bank Holiday.



expected as much. good across the board



I wonder if all of Europe watches G4.



I wish Valkyria Chronicles 2 sells 500k but US is not a good PSP market.

Here in Italy I saw the white WSR bundle discounted by 30€, while the black one was full price. OTOH last Xmas they temporarily discounted the black bundle, and during Spring 2010 they cut price of both bundles (quite later than in other countries, though, although the street price had been 20-30€ lower than SRP since after Xmas). Although not the same, it's a strategy that could have the same positive side-effects of MS staggered cut, catching the attention longer and extending the WW effects in time, despite with a lower initial spike.

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I suppose that is indeed what he meant. Still, normally certain people hurry to provide the YOY numbers at page 1, especially when the Wii has a week to week rise, and this time very very strangely (...) they didn't. So here it is again for those who missed it:
