i'm gonna say probably it'll hit a million. although it'll take a year to hit it.



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

 

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus

Yes, Sin City fans will eat it up if no one else.

 

You beat me to it. This game will have a MUCH BIGGER APPEAL than anybody here is giving it credit for, thanks to Sin City's popularity in the mainstream.

 

I can see this game hitting 1 million.

Achievement is its own reward, pride only obscures.

Possibly. I think it's mostly dependent on Sega's advertising and if they actually push it or not. I can't see them NOT pushing it though, because that wouldn't be a good start to their relations with Platinum.

Not only that but Sega keeps finding success on the Wii.

if it gets amazing reviews, (like 90 or above on Metacritic) than it can make 1 million.



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

Wow, I would imagine it would be a HUGE disappointment to Sega if this didn't sell at least a million! When it is being released?

 

They would be disappointed if The Conduit didn't make a million.  MadWorld is not necessarily your average title that can appeal to the mainstream.  I mean it's a gory black and white hack and slash.  The market hasn't been known to eat that up.

I really think the only reason I see it even having a chance is because its the Wii and it's been known to allow any kind of game to have huge sales.  Of course Sega has to do their part as well.

Well, it's not often that third parties put a lot of effort in a Wii game, and you'd think that it'd sell well. Otherwise, why not put this kind of game of PS3/360?

Because...it would've costed even more and niche games sell better on the Wii anyway.

I'm not sure if Bayonetta can even hit a mil (both versions combined maybe, individually probably not).

This is Platinum Games (former Clover)...they're not known for their games selling very well.

What niche is Mad World exactly? Please let me know, because it looks like a violent sandbox game to me. And you have no proof for the bolded statement either. (Especially being that Mad World isn't niche)

I will say it's rather annoying to see post upon post of "No" (or the occasional "yes").

I think it very well could break one million. It depends on the core base of the Wii. I could see why it may not though.

Yes


For Wii owners aching for a M rated game with blood and gore to boot.. and with Wii's install base..


 

Because we saw how well that worked for No More Heroes.

million is improbable. Might still happen because the "hardcore" gamer audience is slowly working their way to buying Wii games.

500k is likely.

 

 

How many times do we all have to go through this? NMH lived up to the developers expectations, so it sold the copies they put out for it.  They didn't advertise or anything and still did well.  If Sega actually advertises this and shows their expectations by a large amount of games out there, then I'm sure they'll hit that mark.

Will it get past the censors and the newspapers (yes Daily Mail, I'm waiting for you to follow up the "parents horrified as most violent videogame ever is lanched on the family friendly wii" story)? Manhunt 2 was banned because of the gratuitous side to the violence and even though this is cartoon style, because of that it may not get a release in the UK.

Last I heard it wasn't getting an initial release in Germany, Japan or Australia so if it is sluggish to start in the US that will scuper the other releases.

I have a horrible feeling that the game is going to be style over substance (as I feel about NMH) and will be too niche to sell over 1m. I can see similar sales to NMH ifetime, even with the increased install base.

btw, I hope I am wrong and that the game is fantastic



Boggern on 10 January 2009

If they advertise the game it could hit between 500k and 1 million otherwise it will probably sell like No More Heroes. I will likely be getting it though (if it dosen´t completely suck).
