Forums - Nintendo - wii third party software sales Q1 2009. how good will they be?

dark_gh0st_b0y on 05 January 2009

the prediction on the 1st post sound very realistic, but if a title keeps selling like 5,000 or 10,000 a week it can get to high sales without even noticing

these i see sales of 3rd party Wii games, and i go like "when did this thing managed to go up there"



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

House of the dead: overkill - 1 million minimum, more likely 1.5 ( the remakes  sold 880,000 so this new one should sell more)

sonic and the black knight - 2 million  ( sonic is a popular brand on wii)

madworld - 600k 

deadly creatures- 500k-1.5 million depending on how things go

tenchu IV- no idea

little king story- 800k-1 million

rune factory frontier no idea

Onechanbara Bikini Zombie Slayers - GOTY material, will probably sell 10 million :P

The Conduit - will be called a flop week 1, but will hit 1 million, with the maximum of 3 million

 

I cant think of many Wii games that werent called flops after week 1... SSBB was even called a flop in others... SMG in Japan and Others, BBA in all regions, Rockband 1, Sonics... yea. That seems to be a given with Wii games, every single on is a flop at some point... even WiiFit was called a flop when it only sold 45k week 3 in NA... Only game that comes to mind that has never been called a flop is MKWii, and that is because expectations were so low becasue Brawl was getting all the hype.

 



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
