That game did not have numbers in the "actual sales" column when I was looking through the blog post, so I did not include it, if it had I would have.
Resident Evil 4 is much more popular and respected game than Manhunt; and has a larger audience and more hype than Manhunt (people want to buy it because they know it will actually be good). Resident Evil 4 was touted by many as the greatest game of the last generation. Will Manhunt receive the same recognition or praise? I doubt it (the first one didn't) and therefor I do not think that it will be able to get even close to Resident Evil 4 levels.
Manhunt for the Wii does not have the benefit of its predecessor (or versions for past systems) being so highly praised. Resident Evil 4 also sold 2 million copies for the PS2, so the Wii version had a large audience to reach who either weren't able to pick it up for the PS2 or wanted to experience it again for the Wii with new controls.
Resident Evil 4 (PS2) average rating: 95% Manhunt (PS2) average rating: 77%
I still think this will sell 100k or less during the month of November.
