Ladderscrapper, itīs true that a sequel to a fantastically successful portable game has NEVER done relatively poorly on a home console (Iīm not counting Tetris 2, since it was a Tetris sequel in name only). But then there havenīt been that many fantastically successful portable games. It could certainly happen.
The 3 main reasons many people are expecting huge Animal Crossing Wii sales are: 1) The N64 AC port sold 2.5M on GC - and Wii will outsell GC by about 4 times and recieve a brand-new AC game. 2) AC popularity has exploded in Japan. On GC AC sold less than a million in Japan. On DS it will sell about 6M (dispite being merely an N64 remake). It is now much more popular than Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy in Japan. 3) AC popularity has exploded even more recently in Europe (currently, over a year after release itīs still in top 10 sales charts!). On GC AC sold less than 0.2M in Europe. On DS it will sell >4M (an increase of way over 2000%!). (See my posts on page 3 and 4 for links and details.)
So on DS, the N64 AC remake will sell at least 11M. The brand-new sequel on Wii should sell AT LEAST 60% of that, and could very well outsell it.
And Lapperscrapper, Iīd advise you when trading stocks (especially real ones) to make your decisions mainly based on past sales, trends, and forcasts, rather than personal preference.
