Prince of Persia: Rival Swords is a Wii re-release of 2005’s Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones that was featured on the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, and PC. The game is the third part of the Sands of Time trilogy. For those new to the series, you play as the Prince of Persia (surprise?) in ancient Persia caught in a time traveling plot.
The game places as a third-person action game with a focus on acrobatic abilities. The third installment added stealth to the Prince’s list of abilities in which you can silently dispatch guards. Part of the story is an enchanted sand that has caused the Prince to go schizo. Throughout the game, a darker personality will question what you are doing and at times the personality will even take over, transforming you into the Dark Prince. Once again, you will acquire sand that allows you to manipulate time (basically giving you a do over after you miss a jump or take heavy hits from an enemy).
Rival Swords on the Wii is controlled mostly in standard controller fashion. Moving is controlled with the analog stick and jumping, running, and manipulating time is done by simply pressing a button. However, the camera can be controlled by rolling the Wiimote left and right or using the D-pad. Attacking can be executed by slashing the Wiimote like you would a sword. The graphics are on par with those of the version for the original Xbox.

Extreme Gamer 7/10 "If you haven't played Two Thrones before, the Wii rendition into Rival Swords is worth a look. Don't expect next gen visuals, rather an example of a top quality last gen game."

1Up Review 6.5/10 "Ultimately, Rival Swords is still a great action-adventure game -- one that you should play at some point if this is the type of game you're interested in. But as a product that costs $50 in a store, it's tough to recommend given its sub-$20 little brother."

CheatCodeCentral Review 4.4/5 "Did you play the Two Thrones before? You can probably save the $50 for the next game, as the only thing that has been changed from the Two Thrones is the controls, which now imply swing the Wii-mote and Nunchuk as a sword; if you haven't played the Two Thrones and enjoy platforming mixed with fighting and puzzles, don't miss this game; it's a true masterpiece."

4Thanks trihunter.
If anyone does want to post a counter-arguement or thinks I made an incorrect assumption or estimation, feel free to make your self heard. This will help us reach a more accurate target price for this stock and will give this stock more exposure leading to more people shorting the stock. Two heads are better than one, as they say. I'm not completely sure on my 80K figure, I'm thinking it could be lower than that, but I'm not sure how game sales work when you get to as low as this. I'm thinking the number shipped by Ubisoft could be lower than 80K considering they've publicly stated that they're own Wii games suck and with sales that we know of being very low, few retailers would order more stock due to there being low demand for the game.
So, yeah, feel free to post your opinions.
Also, KultofCows (the admin/creator/architect of the simExchange) is developing some type of new super trading system that will help stocks like these to move to more accurate stock prices instead of stagnating. I'm not sure how long it'll take to develop and impliment this new trading system, but this stock will probably drop like a stone when it is introduced.

6Look at the comment and argument Starless has made in the last post on this stock.
"I estimate this will sell around 80,000 world-wide. This means this stock is overvalued by around 22DKP or 73%! This is one of the most overvalued stocks on The Simexchange and I definitely suggest shorting this stock."
No other person has offered a counter-argument. This needs to be shorted. If you can read this, short this.[ Elite ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 286 ]bids
5This game entered the UK DS top 20 chart on April 7 at 16.

The week after it rose to 9th, its highest position and has been steadily falling down the charts. It is now at 18th place and will likely fall out of the chart all together in a week or two. The most important thing to note is that this game has NEVER once entered the top 40 for games on all platforms.

This game sold only 20,321 during the "April" NPD period. The game was avaliable for the full month of April. Npd is the definitive source of sales data and is basically considered fact. This is nearly a third of what VGCharts predicted.

Position 89. I think VGCharts overestimating this game's sales is one of the reasons why this stock is still overvalued. VGCharts is only an estimate and should never be considered fact.
There is no plan to release this game in Japan and so this game obviously won't sell any copies in Japan.
I estimate this will sell around 80,000 world-wide. This means this stock is overvalued by around 22DKP or 73%! This is one of the most overvalued stocks on The Simexchange and I definitely suggest shorting this stock.
[Note: To those who have seen this before, I basically just copied my previous comment to get more people to look at this stock. Please don't bid this down because of this. I suspect this is the only way this stock will fall down to a more suitable level.][ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 12 ]bids
6Looks like this has fallen under the radar. This stock is still massively overvalued. I still stand by my 80K prediction (in fact, I feel that may be a too optimistic view), which would make the overvalued by 24DKP or around 75%! For those who are not shorting because VGCharts has this game at around 70K sold, please look at my other comments on this stock page. NPD (the official source for sales data) has shown that this game sold around one third of what VGCharts is predicting. There is no Japanese release planned (and it's very, very unlikely they'll be one announced) and PAL sales were discussed in my previous comments.
As I said before, this'll sell around 80K in total and is very, very overvalued at its current price. SHORT THIS STOCK!!![ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 12 ]
