I've been long on this stock for a while. I never pay attention to VGchartz either, especially for a game that like this one is under the radar and is likely to garner less than sufficient data to make their prediction model viable.
However, I would say it's a little unfair to compare this to games such as Looney Tunes, Mercury Meltdown or Ninja Reflex because I wouldn't label this game as shovelware. THQ have no entries in the music genre and absolutely jumped on the bandwagon here but they will have spent some money procuring licensing for the music they did get for this game. There is at least an attempt to not be completely derivative from the music games before it. I would say it's a reasonable bet that they will push this enough to garner a respectable 500K+ given the Wii's install base, in my opinion.
The Wii's audience is quite different from the previous sterotype console game buyer and ergo unpredictable. It's about to get more so with the huge influx of Wii Fit buyers coming in, those who weren't even suckered in with Wii Sports. The fact that Carnival Games did the numbers it did illustrates that this *can* happen. It's by no means guarenteed that it will, I've never been of the opinion this game will reach 1m and I was on the brink of cashing out here at one point a week ago at 65DKP but for the trader looking to pick up a slightly risky shot with potential for growth over 50% from current prices I'd say this wasn't a bad bet for a betting man.
