What do people think about how the new style of the this game compared to other titles in the series will affect the sales of this title? Also, what are your thoughts about how much of a boost Wi-fi online play will offer to sales?
I believe that the grittier (sp.?) and more serious nature of this title will bring in a bit more in the way of the non-casual gamer crowd. The fact that the title is keeping much of the same construction of the art (how the units look, the style of characters, the map set-up) will retain those that have played earlier games in the series. Since the root gameplay is not changing drastically as of this point, I believe that will also bring back fans of past games.
I believe that this game will almost 100% surely outsell the first Advance Wars DS game because of the inclusion of Wi-fi online play. (Games with online gaming capability have been proven to sell more, let alone that this series was begging for wi-fi online play.)
I was unable to find any solid numbers as to how many copies Advance Wars: Dual Strike sold (which would be pretty helpful in predicting how many copies this game should sell).
