did you play Chibi-Robo? it has nothing to do with Pinata, but it's a really awesome game that, at first, (or graphically) will make you think it's a game for kids but has more depth than anything out there once you play it. AC is another good example, i spent a year making my town in to a Nintendo theme-park, complete with billboards that have pixel-for-pixel images of all the Nintendo characters and insignias. Good times.
Pinata will launch to a series of good reviews and will face lackluster sales for its birthday party. Then after 6 months or so word of mouth will get the game popular, it will become the ultimate game to have because, arguably, it will be the best game on XBox 360 and also the most unique... even a 13 year old full of anger can only take so many extreme racers and shootemups and will welcome an odd game that can be played as a pinata-murdering simulator, if so desired.
of course, i'm assuming that the game will be good. normally I wouldn't question that, but all the mixed reviews of PDZ, Kameo, grabbed by the ghoulies, all the GBA games and a censored conker has me questioning their abilities.
