@KultofCows, I would be extremely cautious against shorting this game. The original only did 32.83 when it debuted in the month of November and was available for almost the entire NPD period (minus 2 days). The game was released a little under a year before the real Olympics took place. The longtail for this game was huge.
The Winter Olympic game was available for a week less time as a future & in the month of October, not benefiting from holiday release date. The real Winter Olympics will be starting only 4 months after this game's release. It will be promoted even more at that time than it is this holiday. I don't think it's farfetched to think it cannot do half as good as the original game.
