won't happen. My bet is around the 400k range

That's way too low, I'm going with 800k.
I wouldn't be surprised if it sells 1 million though.
...I. No. 1 Million FW might be seen as a bit too high but 400k? Don't be crazy. It'll be in the 600k at the very least and that would still be seen as a huge disappointment. Sammy probably has it about right, 700-800k seems reasonable.

I'm predicting 750K just watch!
Imo no, 600k tops.

Smash Bros. 64 wasn't very popular at Nintendo during its development. It was almost a Japan-only game!
cause they know physical is best

0 lineup at local game store.
tfw 200,000 population instead of 17 million.
People say consoles are, not 'video games' (and they're mostly right~~~)

Huh?
I'm pretty sure the common theme is that HOME CONSOLE gaming is dead in Japan, not gaming as a whole.
This thread kinda' supports that.
I do hope it sees a resurgence of some sort, though.

Its young men queuing with plush mushroom hats and backpacks and jutting promo poster rolls. Queuing passionately for hours, at events around the world, to see the things that marketers want them to see. To find out whether they should buy things or not. They dont know how to dress or behave. Television cameras pan across these listless queues, and often catch the expressions of people who dont quite know why they themselves are standing there.

It just needs a resurgence. This makes me want to travel to Japan even more.
It's inspiring to see so many people wait in line.

Yeah, and that makes me sad for console gaming which is on life support over there which will potentially affect other parts of the world also. This makes me wonder how Smash will perform on Wii U. I'm expecting decent sales, but I don't think it will do anything for Wii U.

Imagine if they used this ad to promote the game in North America.
"What is this animu doing in my smash bros?"
Not really...

No one queues like the Japanese.
That is what I think but it depends what Wii u specific features it has. If they are compelling then the Wii U one will sell also.
