@gossomer, Doesnt everyone find this 500k number extremely low given the strategic importance on this title. This is well below the launch of both Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and Wii Fit.
To be honest, I don't know. I'm looking at 20m as good enough to cash out what I made on the IPO but then I'm still long on Mario Kart Wii at 20m+ and this potentially is bigger than that.
@PhilHarrision, Yes, Motion+ will be bundled with other games, not just Sports Resort.
Things to consider : - Those other games, will have two SKU. One bundled with Motion+, one without Motion+. - Wii Sports Resort are only available bundled with Motion+. No non-bundled SKU. - Wii Sports Resort expanded upon Wii Sports, a game that are bundled with every Wii sold in Europe and US, and achieve very good sales in Japan. I EXPECT people who have Wii Sports to be interested in Wii Sports Resort (similarity of name, and intensive use of Mii). How many of those Wii Sports userbase buy Wii Sports Resort, your guess is as good as mine.
Are the sales projections here based on this being a bundle with Wii Motion Plus?
Rumour has it that WMP is being bundled with more that just this game so would that not cut down on the potential sales (ie this isn't another WiiPlay scenario)?
