This. Honestly I can't make a prediction about these games. Well probably House of the Dead because it's a quite popular franchise and had good sales with the 2&3 disc.

 

I don't see how House of the Dead Overkill wouldn't sell a million copies.  2 & 3 Return are close to the million mark with almost all of it sales from America and Others.  HotD is a suprisingly popular series.

Not well, unless any of them are advertised on tv.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

HotD doesn't need TV marketing.  It will sell based on brand name.

 



They all can sell really well if they had advertising, I haven't seen any commercials of any of these games anywhere on T.V. wtf!

Anyways I think HotD will sell well because of the wii zapper and Sega publishing it.
I think Tenchu will sell like No More Heroes because its published by Ubisoft. LOL
Deadly Creatures, honestly I don't know how much it will sell.

Now that we've seen positive reviews, how well do you think wii's big three will sell next week? I don't think any of them will open with massive numbers. House of the dead should come out on top with, with tenchu following a little ways behind. I think deadly creatures will take a big hit because gamers only have so much money, and the latter are more well established.

What are your first week, and LTD predictions?

Mine:

House of The dead: 1st, 35,000...LTD, 1 million WW ( I think sales will stay consistent for a while)

Tenchu: 1st week, 20,000,, LTD 200-400k WW

Deadly Creatures: 1st, 10,000,,, LTD 150-250k WW

I'm just trying to be realistic. My first week for HOTD is low because of the obvious time of the year, and these three games competing for the same market. At the same time I think alot of zombie games have sold well on wii, people like zapper games, and the house of the dead name. I do think the sales should stay pretty consistent though because most wii games do and word of mouth. Tenchu and deadly creatures sales mught seem pretty low, but like I said I was trying to be realistic.

Of course I'll be way off. :P Just wondering other peoples predictions though.

I actually agree with yor prediction that seem pretty accurate to me. House of the dead will need a lower price tag  to reah the million though.

Would you like to explain why it is "suprisingly" popular?  It could be popular because the games have always been fun in the minds of most gamers.

It's just that light gun games declined in popularity a few years back.  Also, while I did play HotD2 in arcade form a couple of times, I thought it wasn't very well known.  I never really heard gamers say HotD in the same breath as Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid.

I'm guessing that you are probably younger and I don't mean this in a condescending way. HoTD is the most popular light gun series of all time probably. Time Crisis would be the second most poplar. These games are having a big time revival since they are extremely fun to play on the Wii due to the IR pointer in the Wii remote.

To me it's a tough call on these games cause the Wii hasn't had this calibur of games all come out in one month for some time.

...At least I know I'm going to do my part and get all three...I mean sure i may have a food shortage...my light bill will be late...and I'd probably be without a car for a while...BUTIWILLHAVETHOSEGAMESTOPLAY!!!!



The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!

...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?

-ID say HOTD is definatly 1 million +.
-Deadly Creatures is a tough cookie to predict, it could become a success, THQ marketed de Blob, maybe itll market Deadly Cratures.
-Tenchu with terrible support from Ubisoft will do pretty poorly, although i dont think anyone really expected it to be a huge success.
