Ugh, that teachs me for picking up a decent stake in a stock, way before the game is released. I suppose I should try to justify why I think the game this game will have decent sales.
While I think it would be great if NMH(No More Heroes) got the same critical accaim, as Psychonauts and Beyond Good & Evil, I personally never really factored it into what I thought the sales figures would be. I think that the comparison between NMH and these games, are slightly dubious. Firstly, there is the difference in genres, that being "Sandbox" style games tend to appeal more to casual gamers. Also, just based on a quick glance at their wikipedia articles, it seems that these games were not released in Japan.
In the end, I see NMH selling well because it is an original exclusive wii game, which won't be facing much competition within its genre when its released. While NMH seems to be shaping up to be somewhat eccentric, I don't see this hurting sales too much, as interest in this game seems to transcend its abnormality.
