Goron_3 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 They did give target sales a while back. RE4 was 420k, Z&W 610k, RE:UC 820k and DMC4 1.8m. To be honest turning a profit on the Wii aint all that hard, I'd guess Zack and Wiki is looking at 200k sales to break even. It's hard to imagine it not selling that sort of numbers, but worse things have happend. Z&W to sell 610 worldwide? That's do-able. RE:UC won't sel 820k though, unless they advertise it...really really well. From what i've heard it's still about a 7/10 game. Oh, and ps3 game sellling 1.8 million? LOL!
gaggle64 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 I think RE: UC will sell very well. Making zombies go boom is a simple concept which is likely to have wide appeal. If game sales had any corolation to their raw quality, the Psychonauts sequel would currently be riding Halo 3 in the sales chart like a backstreet whore.
Cube Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Oh, and ps3 game sellling 1.8 million? LOL! Most of the sales will likely be the 360 version.
Noku Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 9.0 on IGN. http://wii.ign.com/articles/829/829301p1.html
Aalborg Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 yup just read the review and this is a must have for me.. Having played a lot of the old point and click adventures im so glad to see that they havent been put to death just yet..
tapedeck Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Well it does seem awesome. IGN's review is interesting in that it states the game as a game in the same vein as DMA's Spacestation Silicon Valley and Suckerpunch's Rocket: Robot on Wheels: That's a brilliant comparison yet I feel Capcom are much bigger than those 2 devs were and I've always expected Capcom (and this title) to deliver. I really hope this sells well and finds a niche amongst gamers. I Love the graphical style and throwback to those olde Lucasarts adventures. Perfect for Wii.....Now I wonder what Gamespot think (shudder)... Please sell well... (Crosses fingers).
Kav Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 ...Now I wonder what Gamespot think (shudder)... They think 8.5 http://uk.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/projecttreasureislandz/review.html?sid=6181499 All told, Zack & Wiki is a winner. It might not win you over with its characters or story, but it will with its wonderfully crafted puzzles and sharp control mechanics. It's just the sort of game Wii owners have been pining for, the sort of game that blends accessibility and challenge into one seamless whole, and does it without devolving into yet another minigame collection.
Strange Cookie Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Now that some good news! I can't say this has been on my must-buy-list, but I guess there is always place for one more. :wink: It's good to see a developer like Capcom daring to take a less conventional (these days) approach, and to see it pay off in game quality. Hopefully, it will too in the sales departement and profit-margin.
Tellyn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Great news seeing as Gamespot pretty much hate the Wii.
darksnowman Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 9.0 on IGN. http://wii.ign.com/articles/829/829301p1.html I read this and although its a good score, I didn't find the review all that great a read. Maybe they shoulda cut loose and made it into a three page review. Buy Zack and Wiki!
Owen Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 BUY ZAK AND WIKI EVERYONE! Seriously, it needs to sell alot to prove a point that the Wii gamers like these niche games. I personally think it's going to sell VERY well in all regions.
Tellyn Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 A lot of effort's clearly gone into the game. In terms of innovation, it's the Wii's version of Another Code. If everyone buys it, there's more chance that we'll see sequels and more support from this type of game.

Zelda_Rulez Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'm definitely going to buy it. They really made a quality game and I hope it sells well.
Cube Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I'll get it sometime, but not within the next 5 or 6 months.
Kraser Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I was planning to buy this since a lot. I didn't wait for the reviews, althought it's good to see great critics about the game. Hope this can be a good seller in all regions
Kraser Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Lol, nice ideia Petey Piranah! xD. Hope to see that "Yes" list to grow much more. Btw, the date release in europe is in december, right? Which day?
Aalborg Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I will buy it despite the lack of Metroid 3 multiplayer
jammy2211 Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 I will buy it despite the lack of Metroid 3 multiplayer Well, It's a pretty erratic reason, but it'll do :P.
Petey Piranah Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 YES! 1 more yes and we'll be at one tenth of a percent of the total proposed target! Lol, nice ideia Petey Piranah! xD. Hope to see that "Yes" list to grow much more. Btw, the date release in europe is in december, right? Which day? As do I Kras, as do I. It'd be criminal if this game doesn't sell well, given its originality and utilisation of Wiis controller to offer an experience not possible on other alternative systems...
