Forums - Nintendo - Disaster : DOC sales (UK)

Well you're scaling up by like 13 for Wii Sports (1/7.5%). I've seen niche retail titles that barely double (less than 1/6 of that). Particularly stuff like Battallion Wars II and Guilty Gear. Most stuff is in the 4-8x range, thus my 80k number.



Around the Network

Yeah I just checked with the last full set of data (week before Christmas)

things like Mario Kart and Brain academy have about a 10* multiplier, while Zack and Wiki and Resident Evil are about 4* (didn't check them all, but didn't see one much lower than 4*...though perhaps I would if VGC had PAL data for Fire Emblem or Okami)

So Excite Truck by that is unlikely to be a lowly 4* game as it has the appeal of the box-art to go on for the non-internet savvy gamers (whereas those not in-the-know are unlikely to pick up disaster) So likley around 75k now, times about 6 and that comes out about 450k.

So I was perhaps good for Excite truck, but my guesses for Disaster were based on a similar model to it when they shouldn't have been.



Cheebe, just as I said, Support for Disaster never comes, the game haven´t the same prescence in the media than others games from nintendo, if they want sale must invest in publicity, and i never see a single TV comercial... NOT a single one.

DKII, ¿did you have some dat about cost of promotion for Disaster? I think there it´s the real problem form the beggining. No matters the diference of sales, the comparative point it´s the investiment in promotion.



Well i hope DDOC is nearer the 120k mark as i, too think it is a really good game. It will be a real shame if it doesn't go to the Americas too, as i feel they could be by far its best market. I mean the main character is American and there is lots of fast paced action. A lot of the reviewers say it has an American action movie feel to it too.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!
