Forums - Sales - Excitebots: Will it flop or be this year's MarioKart?

will break 1mln but it will take some time. it won't make more than 100k first week i think, but will be close.



Around the Network

I think neither. I think it'll do a bit better than Excite Truck, and probably reach a million a bit quicker. But I don't think it'll be either a flop or a Mario Kart. It will have long, steady legs and keep selling for quite some time.

Well, that's what I think.



Shame Nintendo haven't advertised this one.. It's very easy to see how fun it is from the videos so it must be a budget thing..



 

It will do at least 5 million.



I don't think it will outsell Exctite Truck.

Excite Truck was a game people bought in the Wii games drought. It also has more mainstream appeal.

Excite Bots is probably the better game though, and it won't be a flop.



Around the Network

When does it come out in the UK? I can't seem to find it listed for pre-order anywhere.

I think the many crazy additions might discourage some people from buying this. A friend of mine loved Excite Truck even over Mario Kart though she's a casual gamer through and through. But she doesn't like a lot of the crazy, cute and ridiculous things in games.



Yeah, in the middle. Sequels tend to under perform compared to the original - so I'm guessing around 700k worldwide lifetime sales.

30k week#1 wouldn't shock me.
