Forums - Nintendo - Meet The New Carnival Games!

http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=24659

 Off to a much quicker start than Carnival games, the game is already at about 900k give or take 10k when we get others data. The previous ones had really good legs (I believe RRR2 was only at about 450k at the end of 07, and sold another million) but I think this puppy will be chugging along for a good while. Should make 1 million next week, and if not next week defitity the week after RRR2 took about til spring if a recall (same time as UC, MySims, and LegoSW)... but spring (april 1 for good measure) I think this game will be ay or around 1.6-1.75 mil... And nearing 3 million by the time the next holiday season ( about the same a Carnival Games). I think its wiifit comp. will only add to its legs, on top of the fact it is better game.

Personaly I prefer this game doing well over carnival games (party because the dude on the box scares me...) because it raises the chance we might get a "real" Rayman. The brandname of Rayman has been reborn, and if they make a good game, who know, it could do well.



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

Ubisoft has really hit a home run with that series, good for them!



Woah, it's doing things backward, selling more and more.

Tempted to open the seal now to see why it's selling so well.



Yeah they will nail it.



Huh. I figured that Raving Rabbids 3 might be a hard sell, and it was for a while there (presumably due to the disappointment of the second game holding people back), but it's doing well now. I wonder, does it re-capture the charm of the first game, instead of feeling like 5 same-y game engines mapped to 40 mini-games like the second game felt?



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

Around the Network

Good for Ubisoft. They got a bit of a bad rap for the games they have been putting out lately but I've played all three of these RRR games and they are pretty fun. Here's hoping they release a true Rayman game and that it sells >1mil.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.

Hopefully one day we'll get a proper new Rayman.



The Rabbids have won over Rayman.
I doubt they'll make a true Rayman game over these Rabbids now.

Give us crotch controller, Ubisoft.

How's the butt controller by the way? I have the game but no room to play at the moment :(



I got it for Christmas alongside Wii Fit and Shaun White

It's a much better game than Carnival Games is, I hope it hits 3 million



Yeah, it's got good reviews. I bought it solely for being the first butt controller :)

I skipped out on Shaun White though, spending too much.
