Forums - Nintendo - Predictions on First Week U.S. Okami Wii numbers?

alpha_dk on 13 April 2008

I wouldn't expect more than 50k first week.

I am definitely expecting it to outperform the PS2 version LT, though, possibly as high as 450-500k. I think that this game is the type that may sell well to new owners throughout the Wii's life, so the fact that the Wii has much more life left in it than the PS2 did on release will help it in that respect.

First week? I'd say 35K, and hopefully it'll have some legs. I just want to see a great game do well. ^__^

60k.

Like I know. I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass.

Who knows?

What else does it add besides motion control?

 480p and almost 16:9 widescreen, as well as brighter colors.  Unfortunately, it has a more subtle rice texture.

 

Oh, and the biggest addition: IR.  Which is separate from motion control, and the main reason people are interested.

My first thought was around 50k, but that might be a bit optimistic. The initial shipment is probably going to be very, very small.

I think it will be similar to No More Hereos, 40-50k, slightly legs.. maybe 400k WW lifetime.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

famousringo on 13 April 2008

30-50k. As for legs, I have no idea.
