As far as i remember no. I mean, the game wasn't even in stock at the Ubisoft site for the first few days, the sales are certainly overwhelming.

We really need to make a flowchart for this. Or a regression equation. Yeah, that's what we need...a Wii sales predictor!

Sales (000's)= Wii_in_title*1 + Mario_in_title*3+Nintendo_publisher*2+NoWii_in_title*0.5 + Non_nintendo_publihser*.25 + hype_rating*0.1

Therefore Madworld = 0 + 0 +0 +50k +25k +110k = 185k first week.

Simple!

NMH wasn't advertised at all. Madworld pretty much was, but at least NMH had color.
The niche these games forced themselves into don't help sales much.

I think 65k first week WW will be good for Madworld. However, I doubt VGChartz will show that, because by the 14th (next weeks update) Madworld will only have 2 days worth of sales.

1 million? That's too high.
300-500k is possible.

NMH was advertised on TV:

@Johann

I think Madworld will sell a little bit above NMH because it had some advertising.
I'll go with 425k lifetime. I hope to be surprised someday if it exceeds that number.

That is not an American commercial. The gamer.tv thing is something I have never heard of in America. Maybe in a specific PAL region, but nowhere here.

 That is an european commercial it was never advertised in America.Ubisoft said so themselves.

Doesn't change the fact that they had an advertising budget, did it?

Mrstickball is talking BS again, like usual.

No More Heroes is a commercial succes. We've been through this a million times, Suda even threw a party to celebrate its succes. It's the best selling Suda title ever. It shipped over 500k ages ago, VGC isn't tracking the game anymore for a while.

As for MadWorld, if it really did 50k-70k first week in the US like Mrstickball said, it would be a big succes. Most Wii games that sold that amount went on to go platinum or close.

I'm pretty sure MadWorld will be a succes, though the question is if it will be just that -a succes, or will it really be huge million-selling game. I expect the former.
