de Blob is a game set in an alien world whose inhabitants have been deprived of color by the fascist regime named Ink Corp. Players attempt to add color to the world by taking control of de Blob, a ball of paint which leaves trails of paint on everything it touches. de Blob currently uses motion controls for actions such as jumping and attacking enemies. Points are scored by coloring various objects with paint, opening new areas to explore and color. In addition, de Blob may increase in size as points and colors are collected. Players must solve puzzles using different colors of paint and create combos by painting several objects in succession in order to advance further.
de Blob is currently set for release in September 2008.

IGN Review : 8.4 (Impressive)
IGN - September 18, 2008
Submitted by mrahaju (9) at 4:35AM PST on September 19, 2008
9.5 Presentation
8.5 Graphics
9.0 Sound
8.0 Gameplay
Really fun, but there's still room to grow. Mostly intuitive controls and enjoyable challenges. Simply painting the world is entertaining, but there are a variety of tasks.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
A robust 10-plus-hour single-player mode, a host of sub-challenges and a multiplayer mode, too. No online component. And split-screen play is not as refined as the single-player action.

De Blob...
OVER 700k sold so far:
Quote:
THQ's unique paint-splattering Wii game de Blob has sold over 700K units worldwide, CEO Brian Farrell said on Tuesday during the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference in San Francisco.
Even in a wretched retail environment, the game has been able to hold its original $49.99 price point after about five months of availability. "We can make money on games like that," Farrell said.

With only 230k sold in US in the first 3 months (holiday months), I would extrapolate 600k tops for GLS.[ Guru ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 159 ]bids

What they literally said, attributed to a THQ spokesman, was, "We're pleased with de Blob's performance worldwide. It's a great intellectual property and you can tell your readers to expect to see more of de Blob in the future."[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 15 ]bids

Errata : In week 2 2009, de Blob didn't show up in Top 40 Wii full price, which means it doesn't have legs.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]

Based on this information, I would reevaluate forecasts for sales due to the fact that in most places, the game has yet to hit the budget territory that usually adds a bit to the total sales (the game is listed for $35+ at most retailers in the U.S.). If it is true that de Blob has sold over 700k, then I could see another easy 100k - thus, I would say that the current stock level could possibly be on the low end.
