Forums - Sales - Which game will sell more. Heavy Rain or Epic Mickey

Epic Mickey (from what i've seen) is the only game (apart from the first Wii Zelda game) that actually made me want a Wii. So i'll go with Epic Mickey.

Heavy Rain, I mean epic mickey is going to casual market and it will hardly sell



I said Epic Mickey is core but wii's audience is casual, so they don't match



yes, and that heavy rain will sell more

Tell that to Zelda, Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.

Epic Mickey is "crossover", just like Mario or Sonic.

Well I think most agree that Heavy Rain is a tougher sale but also Heavy Rain has been hyped for a couple of years now. Epic Mickey has had a GI cover and some talk before it about its existence. If that continues, Heavy Rain will easily crush its sales due to lack of hyping and marketing for the other. Of course I would hope Disney would market it as a big game on Wii, but given track record of Wii games before this, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.


For now I'm going to go with Heavy Rain, but as for potential, the potential of sales for Epic Mickey exceeds that of Heavy Rain but its just whether or not Disney wants to pursue those. Considering I'm still picking Heavy Rain, shows you how much faith I actually have in them haha.



Cgi:
Maybe I'm not good on expressing, ok?



i see what you did there, problem is sony exclusives have a hard time selling, but i will agree, HR will outsell Epic Mickey

They do? Which ones?

Ratchet, Killzone, Uncharted, Lair, Heavenly Sword.



I'll put it this way. If Heavy Rain sells more then a million. I will consider it exceeding my expectations.

If that Mickey game sells a million... I wouldn't be surprised. Of course I wouldn't be surprised either if it sold 300K.

I'd see them both selling about the same... with the Mickey game having a better chance of breaking through expectations.
