I don't have any insider info, what I mean is that I honestly doubt the game, which is a niche title(when the first came out, it was a little more okay to be explorative with the look of your world & main character, nowadays, you can't get by on the same stuff), is going to see sales beyond 800k. Look at what the first game pulled off, then think to yourself, could we actually see the game getting close to that at all?
Keeping in mind that titles like Rayman (850k+) and Red Steel (950k+) have had great sales already?
Sales of early titles have been good enough for Ubisoft to credit it with increased earnings, to get EA to move its resources into more Wii projects and to have smaller developers move into working on the Wii and DS alone.
I haven't seen anything to indicate that developers are discouraged by Wii software sales. Given the millions of Virtual Console sales, it seems like the Wii would be the ideal place for bringing back a long-lost IP.
I am wary of this title because games that aren't proven franchises (Zelda, Wario Ware) on the Wii so far have not demonstrated great sales potential. We have been disappointed a number of times by Wii games that appear to be potential hits but then can't break 500k.
@quaunaut, what is a "temporary buy?" If you have good information that Nights cannot sell 1.08 million copies then you should short the stock and then divulge that information.

2mil+ is my guess.
Hang in there nights =(
