I expect someone making a "Just Dance 2 sales makes Leo-J cry" thread.. >_>


Didn't I make that a while back? Or was it just a comment in some random sales thread. Can't remember.

VGC has it at 878k.

Btw, I don't know why people are saying that it is unexpected and a surprising hit. I've actually never seen anyone doubting the potentiel of Epic Mickey.

So you expected it to sell 1.3 million in one month? More than Mario Kart Wii's first month? More than God of War 3? More than GTA IV PS3? These sales are mind boggling, espescially after the mediocre reviews. I was almost certain VGChartz was overtracking it.

No I never expected it would do so well (as well as pretty much everybody else).

What I said is that I've never seen anyone doubting the potential of Epic Mickey. That just means that we all knew it would sell well. Maybe not that well, though.

it's very good sales,

i remember a few threads for zelda,DKCR,mickey and kirby and most people had mickey at 2-3m but not many sure about mickey

kirby was around 1.5 - 2m

and zelda and donkey 5-7m

i believe boutros was a donkey doubter though -_-,but maybe i'm wrong


Yeah, I was guessing 2 million lifetime. Looks like that's a shoe-in with US sales alone. It's the kind of game that might sprout a long tail (heh), so 3 million lifetime is within reach here.
