Forums - Nintendo - How much do these 2008 Wii games need to sell?

I think Star Wars should be set at 500k or more.

Call of Duty 5 has to sell just as good or better then other version. That way people can see that Nintendo does not have good shooter games!

De Blob-700k WW

Deadly Creatures-400k WW

Fatal Frame-100k WW

Tenchu IV-250k WW

Dead Rising-500k (Capcom confirmed) WW

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed- 400k WW

Call of Duty 5- 800k (Devs expectations are probably overboard) I think this will only sell 600k though.

I only quoted the games I'm familiar with.

 

I think the de Blob could do well but a lot of it will depend on reviews and how much they advertise. I think it should be able to do 500,000 or so if reviews and word of mouth are good.

Deadly Creatures looks like it could be a great game but it's hard to see a game about insects doing very well. Hardcore rated M games haven't always done well and this one could have a tougher time than most. I'd say it might hit 200,000 unless the game is absolutely amazing and it talked about everywhere. 

Fatal Frame didn't open to big sales in Japan, I don't think and I don't know how well it'll do here in North America. Maybe it will get 100,000.

I'd hope Tenchu would do well and hit at least a quarter million but I have my doubts but we'll see. I'd predict maybe 200,000.

Unless Dead Rising for the Wii sucks, it might hit a million. Both the RE games on the Wii have been big sellers with one a remake from the GC which many Wii owners had no doubt and the other just an arcade shooter. For many Wii owners, this will be the first chance to play Dead Rising. And with Wii RE4 style controls, it would be popular with Wii RE fans.

Star Wars games are usually popular and this game has gotten a lot of talk so I think it might also have a chance to hit a million.

Call of Duty will open strong with possibly 125,000-150,000 in it's first week for the Wii. From there, it will depend on reviews and word of mouth. If the game is great, it will do a million and possibly 1.5 million. If it's another mediocre shooter, it will top off around 500,000.



I'll come up with something better eventually...
