I know it's sarcasm but still you got to watch out and don't go overboard because some of the bitchers might still find it offensive or a mod doesn't understand it's sarcasm. You wouldn't be the first to be banned because of sarcasm.

Here's a list of third party million sellers on Wii which had a launch greater than 200k:

Guitar Hero 3 - 276k

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - 268k

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles - 238k

Guitar Hero: World Tour - 237k

I didn't find any other third party titles which launched above 200k. So something to consider:

No third party game on the Wii has ever sold 300k on launch week.

The silly Dragon Quest game did.

I saw posts before where people expected high numbers first week. I am sure I read somewhere that some expected +500k first week.

Wow. That's the kind of sales curve you get when you attach a huge IP to a mediocre game, I guess.

Silly is right, this graph looks like a walk off a cliff:

Its doomed no matter what unless it pulls a million or more first month. With all the hype Nintendo fanboys on this site put on it to be amazing.

I'd say we should look at Killzone 2 for comparison.

That's pretty obscene. It's a testament to the DQ brand name.
