the game was adjusted up, from 0.29 to 0.36

seems like a lock for 500k, that's actually quite solid.

Not too bad--considering no one I know that doesn't frequent game forums has ever heard of it. It's a fun game, it deserves good sales.

I mean HappySqurriel 1st post:

"What bugs me about most of these threads is that people who are so negative about a Wii game are never around 6 months later when it has sold to the high end of where most realistic expectations for the game were ..."

While you're probably right about the game not making platinum, Riticello seems to be incredibly optimistic about this game's prospects, so it's chances are likely stronger than we think. If you think about it, this isn't as surprising as it was at first blush: EA expected it to have a slow burn cycle (and it has), EA published games like Boogie, My Sims and Smarty Pants which have also snuck their way up to massive sales, and Riticello is already contemplating a sequel. All in all, I'm beginning to think that 750k is too conservative, to tell you the truth, although 1 million still seems too high to me for some reason.

1 million is still possible

Granted, and much of what I wrote was leaning in that direction. It's just for some reason that doesn't sound right to me: maybe it's the natural pessimism, maybe it's that I want to have low expectations for the title so I can be pleasantly surprised, but for some reason it still feels high, if that makes any sense.

Congratz to Boom Blox! As long as it met expectations' it's a success! 360k and it hasn't slumped considerably in sales yet. The Wii 3rd party sales argument is dying fast.

Good sales. There has been quite a bit of adjusting today.
