about Professor Layton and Unwound Future, Is it safe to assume sales have been lower that Diabolical Box? DB had few days in August and ranked 16th, all I could find is that it must be higher than 66k (Madden 10 Wii) and less than 92k, In Sep 2009 it ranked 18th with higher than 134k. Now here for UF (released Sep 12th) if it sold anything close to last year's game we should have seen it in top 10.

I think they got it in the bag for the rest of the year. Wii has potential to take 1st, PS3. . . not so much.Corto said:

Am I the only one thinking that this month's Move sales (barring superbomba or supersuccess) weren't that important in the larger scheme of things? Sony's entering this casual market because they're hoping for a slow burn comparable to the Wii evergreens, surely. That's where the greatest appeal for this blue ocean lies for many companies.
The most important measure of success for Move and Sports Champions will be the performance in the coming months (beyond the holiday bumps, obviously).
An estimated 300k from Pachter vs Wii M+'s 850k first month (WSR bundle included) isn't as bad as it might sound for Move if they can keep it selling steadily into mid-late 2011. Think Wii Party, selling on for months and months.
Of course, conversely, if sales are frontloaded and quickly taper/drop off like they usually do, it'll be bad. Very bad.

My thoughts exactly. Move really needs a strong showing this holiday, else the release calendar will start to look very barren outside of some Wii ports and traditional games with tacked-on Move functionality.
Now that I think about, the Wii has a very large install base and most of its third party games don't sell. Why would a developer think that the PS3 and Move will be any different than the current Wii situation? Maybe putting out a Wii-like device when third-party Wii games don't sell well isn't a smart move.
