SMG is highly anticipatied but the wii relies on casual gamers that probably aren't holding their breath for launch.

300k first week and at least 50k for the following 3 weeks. lifetime around 5 million.

I think many people here are now predicting too low because of Japan. It seems like stores and the media will really push this game and there are a lot of great deals for it (I've seen one with a buy SMG and get a free $25 gift card). It really has the rest of the Holiday season on the Wii to itself as far as mega blockbusters go.

No way it'll reach 600,000 in its first week in my opinion. Im going for the 400,000 range.

Some Best Buy apparently released early? I was trying to make a joke at the launch week being whenever you can get your hands on the game, sorry about the bad joke.

It's a bit early to say that the Wii relies on casual games, since very few hardcore titles of any quality have been released so far. It hasn't really been established how large a portion of the user base is casual gamers attracted by the intuative interface, and how many are hardcore gamers either looking forward to Nintendo's first party games, or just bored/disinterested with the direction the other consoles are going in. Besides, Super Mario has always been incredibly easy for beginners to pick up, and Galaxy is probably the first game most casuals will try if they get interested in more "traditional" games.
