700k lifetime, due to it being gimped.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

first wiik--130k
life--900k



 

Why does this game retail for same price as PS360 version? It looks like ps2 version and has no DLC like PS2 version... Should cost as much as ps2 version.



I think a lot of people will wait to see how good GHIV is and then decide. It's long term success depends on how good/bad GHIV will be.



I agree with Fishy. I was really hoping for RB to come out when the XB360/PS3 version came out, but IMO, GH4 stole its thunder recently. I know I'm waiting for GH4 instead. Only 1 set of instruments in my house. Wonder how many people are of the same mindset.

EA and Harmonix have only themselves to blame for not releasing Rock Band on Wii last year as it did on every other console. Because of that, Rock Band Wii will never reach its full potential sales-wise.



1st week 100k. Lifetime 500k. That's still more than enough to make money on..., but as many have stated, they messed up by coming too late to the wii market with instruments incompatible with GH. The only hope of better is if the reveiws come out significantly better for rock band than GH IV....

I doubt it will sell well to be honest, GH4 (with downloadable content and better brand recognition) will kill sales of RB.

500k lifetime maybe

Oh, and Zucas, sorry to nitpick, but LTD means life to date
So RockBand Wii LTD sales = 0 because it has not released

Apology not accepted.  Just go with it meaning Life to Death for the sake of the topic.

Because its something people are missing when they are posting predictions in this topic.  They are counting on brand enough to sell this game, even with the higher price.  That's why I said this game surprised me due to the amount of hype surrounding and I've realized this game might just sell due to hype and brand.  Remember this is a much more mainstream title than say a game like Haze where it's sales can almost be dependent on what the game has in features and quality.  Mainstream buyers go off hype and brand which is why almost any Halo or Mario or GTA title will sell.



my guess
first week 110k
LTD 700k
