I agree with the people saying house of the dead is pretty popular. My movie theatre arcade still has the original hOTd in it. People will see the HOTD name and be like oh sweet, these games are fun, and it will be awesome for the wii. On top of that I know alot of people that go to buy wii games, and they cant find a mature game they want to play.

So you guys are right it will probably come down to marketing for all three games. It'd be nice if they got TV ads for HOTD because it had some really good trailers. Another thing I think is huge for wii games is shelf space. Its precious because there is so many games. Thats something thats really important to have because thats the only way mainstream players see games, they dont go asking for games.

I think the games will open similarly, but House of the Dead will obviously have gigantic legs, whereas the others will drop quickly.

First week WW sales:

House of the Dead - 60k
Tenchu - 55k
Deadly Creatures - 50k

Tenchu and Deadly creatures will flop, but HOTD might sell, its an established franshise.

house of the dead will sell about 1 million LTD, this is based on the sales of house of the dead 2&3, tenchu 4 and deadly creatures will probably sell about 200-300 k each LTD

HoTD has huge mainstream appeal. Most people have played HoTD in the arcades at some point. An all new HoTD should easily outsell HoTD 2&3 putting it over 1m no problem.

Tenchu - poor support from Ubisoft, little know franchise, crowded shelves but different enough to stand out, will do mediocore sales 200-250k

Deadly Creatures - IF THQ does some creative TV ads for pre-teens this might do okay, but okay probably doesn't justify the cost of TV ads so probably sub-200k. If it came out last fall when there was no competition it would have stood a chance but for the next couple months, competition is fierce for Wii owner dollars looking for a solid game.

I've a feeling deadly creatures will outsell tenchu.

HotD is gonna be a hit no doubt about that.

HotD-65000
Deadly Creatures-25000
Tenchu-20000

I know they seem a little high... let's see though

I hope HotD will sell about one million copies.
Tenchu about 400k
and I really think that Deadly Creatures will flop massively. I mean casual gamers don't want to fight with spiders and the majority of hardcore gamers don't want this too. I'd say 100k - 150k

First week.

HotD - 40-50k
Tenchu 4 - 20k
DC - 20k

I think i'm being pretty optimistic for all of them but i hope that was a pessimistic guess.

Lifetime all:

HotD : 2.2m
Madworld : 1.0m
Deadly Creatures : 700k

They all seem too optimistic. I personally don't Madworld can crack a million, maybe 800K at best.
