It's all about the advertising. I'm just waiting for the day a video game makes its way into a burger king kid's meal. that= instant 5m sold.

Close enough for you?

OT: That seems like a mark that they can hit.



Around the Network

This game will blow past 2 million.



I believe the game will do more than that.

Just by judging what I saw at E3, the game looks amazing.
I think 3 million+ is more accurate.



throw some decent advertising behind it and you can double that



With a little advertisement it should be able to do that.

Nintendo has akways been conservative in their sales expectations.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Well Corruption is only 1.53 million. However the original Prime is almost at 3 million. 2 million seems about right to me.



2 M is a good figure. I would love to see it climb higher though.

1.5 million is par for a Metroid game.

Nintendo must advertise.


If they pull another Excitebots, Metroid isn't going too far past 1 million.
