Depends on advertising - I'm thinking around 4 million, but I'm prepared for disappointment

Like I said in the other thread, 6-8 Mio sales seem to be reasonable, if it is a masterpiece it could even reach 10 Million (although I don´t really expect it to reach 10 Mio)

↓↓↓Tbone↓↓↓

If a masterpiece it can be 10mil my bet is still 7-8mil, But then again look at SM3DL, We all know its gonna sell but at this rate lifetime seems like over 12mil to me! Long legs on a console not even 2 years old yet!!!

I can also see luigi mansion being bundled for next holiday with maybe NSMB2 IMO

Yeah, but SM3DL is kind of a "main" Mario game while LMDM is a spinoff. It will have a much harder time selling this much than SM3DL. So yeah, bundling the game will help it a lot, this way more people will talk about the game which is pretty important for a spinoff.

BTW: This is my first day in the forum and I already really enjoy debating with you. That´s pretty neat^^ 


Welcome! I hope you will enjoy your time here. :)

By the way, I have to disagree with you, unfortunately.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon/World is not considered a Mario spin-off. It's the second chapter of an ip with its own fanbase and reason to exist.

I think it will sell a lot, especially if bundled. I'm sure it will sell more than the GameCube one (that I loved with all my heart).

This is my most anticipated 3DS game ever.

But doesn`t that MAKE it a spinoff? It takes a character from the original series (2D+3D Mario-games and gives it an own story (LM) focusing on this character. In regards to video games you could add independent gameplay, I think -> Luigis Mansion seems meet the criteria for a spinoff. That doesn`t prevent it from being a new IP though.

I voted for 1m, but arter reading that the original sold over 3m I have to reconsider my vote... I'd say between 2-3m... The original was released à long time ago, which Will mean less sold copies now. Just look at kid icarus! The original sold 1m, I think, and the sequel hasn't reached that number yet.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Don`t you think comparing Luigis Mansion to Kid Icarus is a bit of a stretch? The gap between the Kid Icarus games was 25 years and 5 generations (if I counted right), whereas the gap between the LM games is only around 10 years, with constant appearences of Luigi everywhere. I think it'll sell more than the original.

It will outsell the original easily,because the 3DS already sold more then the GCN and LM2 is a long awaited game by many Luigi fans. I say it will sell 7~8m lifetime. Anyone agree?



Chandler on 22 December 2012

Some people really need to get their expectations in check. I for one am satisifed if it breaks 1 million world wide.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I would set the lower bound to 6 Mio, but yes I agree
