It seems like your logic for this game selling well is: people are too stupid and uninformed not to blindly walk into a Gamestop and buy this game.
Of course there's going to be a segment of the game buying population that don't care that MPDS doesn't have a lot of what should be standard features. Of course there are people that are going to buy this game regardless of what the reviews say (should they read them; but since they're too stupid to not buy this game, they're probably too stupid to read). I just don't think that amount of people will exceed 350,000 in December, due to a number of factors.
My reasons are thus, culled from previous posts, with some new additions: 1) The lack of some features (Nintedo Wi-Fi), and the presence of others (4 on 1 card multiplayer) 2) Overall poor reviews 3) A glut of superior DS purchases 4) A November 20th release date (first week sales not in DEC NPD) 5) Total absence of any kind of holiday buzz about the game 6) I don't think good sales of MP8 will translate into good sales of MPDS
Oh, and lstormy10, I don't know why you were downbid, it wasn't me. I upbid you to get you back to even on the comment.
