Forums - Sales - Zack and Wiki Predictions

Avinash_Tyagi on 23 October 2007

I think that the lifetime sales of Zack and Wiki will hit just over 500K

 

I think over time this game will gain cult status 



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Trauma center sold like 30k on its first week and ended up close to 500k worldwide... i just can't see Zack & Wiki failling to do at least Trauma center numbers.

The Amazon ranking isn't very good for this. This is going to need some incredible legs to get some of the numbers people posted here. I'm hoping it will do well, but I think it will start very slowly. Don't be shocked if week one numbers are very low.

 You don't think the IGNWii readership will account for anything?  Surely there are enough Cassamasina fans to give this game a good start.

 

I don't think it will do well in the long run.  I think it's first week sales will dwarf everything that comes after.  

I'm thinking week one...55,000.

End of Year....200,000

Lifetime...250,000. 

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see this appealing to the blue-ocean Wii crowd.  What are we considering a flop for this game anyway?

It would have to be quite bad to be a flop.  Seriously they probably make a profit at around 100k WW or something. 

 It looks like a great game, but with no advertising I'm not sure how well it will do.  Seriously, if IGN didn't hype it up so much we would not be talking about it, if you walk in the store and see it on the shelf you will certainly not have the urge to buy it if you haven't read about it.  The name Zack and Wiki is an immediate turn off for many people actually.

1st week: 60,000

I don't know how it will do through the rest of the year.
It has some pretty stiff competition:

Don't be shocked to see this game do worse then you'd expected...

First week around 45k

By 31 dec 2007 (aka end of year) 120k

Total Americas: 160k

Total Ww 340k

 

Capcom will make a profit with this but i don't know if this (340k Ww) will make sure they'll make a sequel...

I hope im wrong though and that it'll do better then this!

2007: in Japan, around 150.000, in US 300.000, plus another 150.000 in Europe for a worldwide total of 600.000...

Maybe a ww million seller in 2008 if the word spreads and the game has good legs...

It would really be a shame if this game bombed. The only one to blame would be Nintendo and Capcom themselves for not promoting the game. 500,000 WW is very respectable but I am not quite sure it will get there, because it will be *perceived* by many to be unappealing solely because of the name.



Never argue with an idiot.  They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

12million if there was 1billion wiis out in the market.

 

So i say about 423K WW at end 



Sqrl on 23 October 2007

I am gonna go with 90k 1st week, 1.2m lifetime WW.

I am going with a bit of an outside shot on my prediction here, but I think it has a good chance of getting some serious legs and surprising some folks. We shall see though, and I can gaurantee you it will sell at least 1 copy on day 1 =)
