Well the same happpend to No more heroes and to Zack and Wiki.

Making a jab at quality 3rd party software on the system would be too easy at this point :( That kinda sucks >

Impossible to say at this point. Neither this game type nor the Wii crowd are front heavy. No one should have any expectations of huge first week sales for this title.

What matters is the legs Boom Blox has. My Sims, Carnival Games and many others didn't have impressive first weeks numbers either and yet went on to sell over 1m - got sequels and are still selling well now.

After 5-10 weeks we'll know if this is a hit or miss. Not before.

And this, my dear Soriku, is why people make games like DogZZZ and HorseZZZ on the Wii

@soriku

Like it or not the wii is never really going to get the BLOCKBUSTER 3rd party stuff like GTA IV ---- 6 million 1 week

AC & COD4 -- 400K launches....900K 2 consoles combined (AS also being a NEW IP)

and so on

Well I don't think anyone reasonably should have excepted Boom Blox to have a big first week. Carnival games opened with 38k in the US despite a fairly decent amount of TV and print ads, and now it's a million seller. Plus up until a couple of weeks ago, I don't think many people were thinking Boom Blox would turn out as great as a lot of people have found it to be.

I thought it looked like a cool simple concept, but from what I've been reading they developers went to great lengths to exploit the concept in as many fun different ways as possible and put effort into each of these different areas to fully flesh them out.

So yeah, don't think Boom Blox's first week is really all that telling. 

 damnit! now i'm never gonna get a crap game like AC on my console! damnit!

Let me guess , you never played it but you still bash the game because it did better than most 3rd party Wii games ...

BB did badly no matter how we look at the numbers . Could it have legs ? Possible , it wouldenmt be uncommon for a Wii game but the truth is that first week sales are bad ... and I mean real bad ... 

 What does any of that have to do with Soriku posted? He was just wondering if there was in change in Boom Blox's number since GoNintendo referenced them as part of a mini-rant article they wrote. Did you even read his post?

 haha i did, on my bro's 360. It's repetive and boring.
