I think that is exactly why it's unlikely Pikmin will sell well during the year-end sales season.  Precisely because all of those big headline titles are coming out.  Pikmin can't possibly compete with 3D World, DKC, or Wind Waker HD.  No way.  I think Pikmin sells a few hundred thousand worldwide during the July/August global release window, and then sales taper off in September and at that point it's no longer a big seller.  Too much competition from better-known properties.  Pikmin 3 will need to be bundled with Wii U or marked down to $39 or $29 after the year is over in order to maintain a long tail. 

Since it is a game that appears to be made for Wii U and isn't possible on any other platform, it seems like a natural fit for a bundle.  Just not this year.

Pikmin can't compete wuth Mario & others, sure. But with this games, the intall base will grow and people buy games. So I think the sales of Pikimin 3 will have some legs

 I'd have to say 450k

Are you willing to take a bet? I never made a bet on here before but I bet that it will double your prediction by years end.

1 million!

 


Also a suggestion. In your second post, you could organize the predictions based on amount, like highest predictions at the top, lowest on the bottom. Makes it easier to get an idea of where everyone stands.



thats true! i'll see wat i can do later,..... thankz



Np! Perhaps you could try doing this with future threads aswell.

750k It will pass the million mark later in it's life.

I sure hope I'm wrong and the game sells more than 500k and more than 2m ltd so that we can get a Pikmin 4. Damn I can't wait for Pikmin 4!!



im only mad that this game wont have white and purple pikmin in the story mode! that pisses me off! other than that im excited


Well the purple Pikmin did kind of unbalance things by taking away the fear factor and making big baddies too easy, I found.

Upwards of 300K the first month, and sub 100K each month after, on average. So south of 700K.

Say 0.650 million units.
