Can No More Heroes 2 sell 1 million copies? *poll inside*

Since No More Heroes 1 sold about half of 1 million, do you think the sequel has a chance of ever hitting 1 million copies in sales?

no way....

I could see it doing a little better than the first, but even so.... I doubt it will hit a mil. But..... I guess that depends on if it's advertised

I think timing could help. Hard core players should be getting tired of Silent Hill, SMBW and Dead Space by now. With Red Steel 2 still a couple of months away, NMH2 is about the only option.

No but I don't care.OreoMilkshake

Thank You I don't get why people are excited about this or liked the first one. maybe 600 000 in sales eventally and the developer complains about it

I can't see the future.

I don't think so, but I think it will do better than the first.

I would be amazed if it hit 700k. It doesn't have the marketing muscle of a million seller, and, as games like MadWorld have proven, there isn't a very large audience for M rated action games on Wii.meetroid8

I think it has a chance. Sequels to games almost always perform better than the originals provided that the sequel is an improvement and this seems like it going to be much better than the first. It may not hit a million but I think better sales than the first is almost a guarantee and considering the original sold well, that's a great thing. I just now got around to beating the original and I'm really pumped for Desperate Struggle so you can bet that it'll sell at least one copy...

I hope it does well. It looks like its shaping up to be one of the few awesome games for the wii

Well, lets say everyone who wanted to play the first did. Obviously not everyone is going to like it, so you can cut out that portion of people who don't want to go through it again. There are those who didn't like it but will give the sequel a second chance. Of course there are those who liked it and are obviously going to get the sequel. So we are already below the original sales here and we don't know how the wild card (people who haven't played the first but are knowledgable and those who are devoid of any knowledge) will act.

No, I don't think it will get 1m copies sold.

I don't know if it will sell 1 million copies but I do know they will sell at least 1 copy.... mine. :D lol Can't wait for the 26th!!

No I don't think so or it will take forever to do so.

I don't think so, but I hope it will.

I'm not going to buy it on release though, I already going to buy Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

I'm skeptical that it'll ever reach a million, but i'm hoping that it at least does better than the original. One things for sure though, they'll be sure to sell one copy, mine. :D

Doubt he'd be laughed out of the building since it's the companies that made those claims in the first place :PTheguy56

I thought No More Heroes sold much more than Madworld though?

Ah sorry didn't realise you were talking about the PS3 version.

Well No More Heroes did sell better than Madworld but that is mostly after price drops and of course the big difference in time available. And I was talking about the the original Wii version. That last sentence about how it will not do that well in competition with the likes of NG and GoW was in reference to clickety. Sepewrath

I'm predicting 250-600k.BattleTurtles

sorry, but put simple: no the game do not have enought appeal to sell that amount. The 1st was OK, even if they improve the poor attempt of creating a "open world" that was the last game, I doubt it would end having enough hype to sell that amount and even less the reviews that in website would attract curious players looking for "good" scored games. but hey... everything could happen... and maybe I`m sure, I sure would like that. I`m starting to get worry about the suffering of some sales. NOTE that I`m getting the game, so do not start the NMH fanboynish :) chang_1910

You hat-- oh never mind :P

No More Heroes 2 could sell twice that much but not the way it has currently been advertised. It would probably reach a million but not any time soon because it would take a while for the word of mouth to get around.

I doubt it

suda's not the best marketing and advertising manager.

I'm optimistic that it will sell at least 600k at best.

i thought it was genius marketing. game like this cant have huge ad budget. so there was little advertising. and a lot of nutso bonkers videos that got the nmh fans psyched for it. yes many were ridiculous w bad quality and awful effects - but many were the coolest things ive seen to advertise a product ever (those dev vids?? that launch trailer?? the heavy breathing video??) and all of it made me remember what i love about nmh, a game btw that haters say is ridiculous w bad quality and awful effects!! i dunno, at least among my friends, the vids absolutely stoked interest in the game that normal advertising wouldnt have.

Most likely not, but it will sell more then the original

i thought gspot got the worst of the vids. lotta great ones on other sites. u see them all? i thought it stirred up awareness. when you get articles like this one that says nmh2's launch trailer kicks me2s launch trailers ass and represents why nmh2 is a more respectable game than me2, then you get the attention of people who would have never ever tuned into this game otherwise: http://www.destructoid.com/no-more-heroes-2-launch-vid-mass-effect-2-launch-vid-161230.phtml

Probably not because the Wii is more of a family console and it is ESRB M.

If advertised, yes, if not, maybe in the future. Hopefully it does though.

I believe it really has a chance at doing so, but it's going to take forever without any marketing (TV ads anyone? haven't seen any)

doubt it, but hey atleast they got my copy sold:D

NMH2 should have been published by someon else in NA.

EA probably would have given it more support.
