...Are we seriously going to see a Nerf game go gold?

Is that a first?

 

A game that comes with a gun shell that shoots real nerf darts?   How cool is that!  I was seriously considering when I ran accross it in the store.  It's better then the zapper, even if more over priced...  It's going to sell over 1m...

What.

....

....

+1 sales

Behold!

I'm not sure how long it'll keep selling, but over the weekend it seemed (anecdotally) to be the target of many an impulse buy. The local stores didn't seem to move any copies previously: now I can't find these around.

Just passing that on.

Great. Now I want a Super Soaker Wii game.

 



How does Okami do weekly? Does it have the leggy blessing?



Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made.  I won't open my unworthy mouth.

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

0.15? Was it severly corrected recently? I could have sworn it was around 300k a few weeks ago...

Still, the correction was likely warranted. A pity, but there you have it.



Another interesting thread to read ,thanks stof. :D

Btw, that gun look really nice.I like its design. :)



No correction. You probably heard talk of 300,000 world wide. Which is what it's supposed to be if we had Euro numbers.

Haha great thread considering I'm alwasy trying to understand the new trends.  There's a few more titles like this so I'll see if I can help to point them out considering I look at these things nonstop.



Easy one here.

Ben 10: Alien Force opened to about 6,000 units. This Black Friday week it sold over 45,000 units.

Also its predecessor:

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=12584

Opened to 12,000 units worldwide and now is currently over 850,000 units. Quite a success story for that one.


I think the thing to learn from these trends is Wii games are "trendy" and I don't mean that to be a pun. It's just they get big not at release for the most part but when mainstream notices them. And when they notice them is not really dependent on anything aside from holidays. And sometimes its not even about them noticing it but simply buying off brand during the holidays. It'll get popular and everyone will want it because the increased sales means the dev can do some more viral marketing.
