And there we have it. Sales in Others jumped from 56k last week, to 127k this week. (Hit 1 million in 9 weeks)

I'm sure this may only be a temporary bump, but... it's hard to imagine this game not selling millions.

A million seller already. Hard to imagine that this is anything but just getting started.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

1.5-2 million tops, I think.

But, it's just had a surge of growth in the middle of January and it's nearly at a million. It would have to completely drop off within the next few weeks to end up at only 1.5 million, that would be a bizarre sales pattern. It'd be like the first few weeks was everyone who got this game spreading their enthusiasm to others, and then they all suddenly realize it's shit so it stops selling.

My rationale is that the January surge was due to more extensive advertising on shows like X-Factor (which I've heard it got a big push from). I expect it to die down to more moderate levels from here on. I further expect it to continue to sell in steady numbers based on word of mouth, but that sales will be destroyed when Ubisoft rushes out a sequel to "capitalize" on the game.

Granted there are lots of assumptions there, but I think they're warranted. I could be wrong though!

Yep, wrong. :p

A rather awesome curve!
Final sales will be dependent on the releasedate of Just Dance 2 and its effect on the sales of this game. 5 million is not outside of the realm of possibility though.

Seems like Singstar with dancing. Great concept.
