why dont people argueing over lbp and this bring up the fact that 1million was the highest prediction made (and there like 1 or 2 who agreed in the thread) but there were many others saying over 100k first week.

funny how the people claiming lbp would be a multimillion sellar were who again? crazyman and maybe leoj? 2 people... same as people putting this at a million but the difference is everyone knows crazyman is a joke... so why do people consider ps3 fans crazy and not wii ones?

It's called a double standard.

Very heavily favores the Nintendo side on this forum.

obviously. the people predicting 100k are just as far of as the people predicting 650k for lbp both 30% but it acceptable for wii and 360 owners. then you have people greatly underestimating it like frybread exactly like undying with his 300k lt for lbp and similar ones like twest saying lbp wont reach 1 million ww at the end of the year and was overly confident with it 'i only take bets i know ill win' a ps3 fan won that bet obviously he didnt have a crazy high prediction

Yep, how many times i saw that, taking couple inviduals opinion and generalizing whole group, yet if it's other way around it's ok, they say it and it's just a mistake, only one person. Anyway i hope for the game to do well, even though i don't own a wii.

All I have to say is MadWorld better have legs. Not sure it will though, it'll be interesting to watch. I'll be picking it up, eventually, anyway.

Okay. What's the justification behind believing an action title will outsell other action titles, just because its on the Wii, instead of the PS360?

Ninja Gaiden II has sold about 1 million copies on the 360 alone. CoD:WaW has sold 5M copies on the 360 alone. If we assume that shooter fans are about 5x as plentiful as action fans... the Wii version of WaW has sold 1M. Doesn't that kinda imply about 200K for MadWorld, after about 6 months?

I realize that I've only brought a couple of numbers here to this post, but if you take a few moments to peruse the database, you can see the 5-to-1 shooter-to-action ratio is pretty close across a LOT of titles, after you take similar review scores, and similar advertising budgets into account.

Why would Madworld sell more than CoD:WaW, ever? On top of that, how realistic is it to believe that it will vastly exceed the typical 1:5 action:shooter ratio? I predicted ~480K lifetime in an earlier thread... I think I might need to lower my prediction to closer to 350K, after this week (I thought it would have a huge opening week).

I'm serious -- I don't understand the reasoning behind believing it will sell more than this.  CoD:WaW has no real shooter competition, just like MadWorld has no real action competition on the Wii.  I think the typical 1:5 ratio is probably going to be a pretty dang accurate predic tion in this case.

350K lifetime isn't a flop for a Wii title, you know.  Its decent.

@Procrastinato: That was pretty good analysis. But there's one big difference; CoD was multiplat release. Due to Wii version being a dumbed down version, multiconsole owners got the game for PS3 or 360. Madworld is exclusive Wii title, when people need to get it for Wii if they want to play it.

Anyway, i don't disagree the sales numbers.
