Wii 3rd party games seem to be doing well (Sengoku Musou 3, Momotaru Denetsu 2010, Taiko Wii 2, Tales of Graces). MH3 on the verge of a million finally too. Even "bombs" like WE Playmaker 2010 and Karaoke Joysound DX look like they'll end up with okay-ish figures in the end.

Curious to see how Biohazard DSC and Tasunoko Vs Capcom UAS do in January...

Wow how things have changed in a few weeks.  SW3, taiko 2, and TOG looked like bombs.  Now SW3 and taiko 2 look quite successful, and TOG is probably gonna reach 250k at this rate which is decent especially since it launched the week before FF13.  Momotarou is doing really well.  The only casualty seems to be FF:CC, which is kinda funny because FF is the strongest brand of all of these games. 

FF:CC deserved to bomb:)

It was in development for about +3 years and all they have a show for it was a boring 7 hour game (that's how long it took me to beat it at least)

Actually it kinda reminds me of Quest 64 (which I have a soft spot in my heart for btw)



Gaming make me feel GOOD!

Pretty much.  I know it's helped by the release schedule and the holidays, but it's still weird seeing just as many or more 3rd party Wii games in the top 50 as PSP, PS2 or PS3 3rd party games.

Thank you New Year's for ToG legs! I wish it could hit 250k...

SW3 exceeding my expectations. I expected it to hit 200k but wasn't sure about 250k. By the looks of things it'll pass 250k.

Well, Graces will at least pass DotN now, which is good.  250k might be pushing it, but I'd expect at least 230k. I'm still disappointed with sales though, if Namco could've read the tea leaves I think they'd have delayed it to be Wii's big Golden Week game and the game would've performed so much better for it.

Sengoku Musou 3 is a huge surprise though, and has likely ensured Musou's continued future on Wii.  I think it'll pass 300k now, which is around what I would've expected had it been a PS3 or PSP release.  Koei must be pretty happy.
