well, the bare minimum would be GC numbers, wouldn't it?


According to vgchartz, quite a large number of non-Nintendo games hit 1m sales in relation to the total amount of million sellers.  

If we use GC numbers as a minimum, we should change 5 to something like 20.

well then, now we know Nintendo will have quite a fwq 3rd party games hitting 1m ;)



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

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

MH3U will be first, followed by Rayman Legends and Lego City Undercover. If DQX releases worldwide I think it will make it too, lifetime. Bayonetta 2 is a contender. ZombiU is a contender. The next CoD is a lock. There will be more than enough third party million sellers.



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.

LEGO City Undercover is the only logical option.

ZombiU. Its already the closest game to 1 million (besides nintendo land and nsmbu)

None, ever. ZombiU is only doing good because it was a launch title and I doubt it will reach a million. Without all the casuals of the Wii only hardcore heavy hitters have any chance of making it and usually all of those are made by Nintendo. Therefore, none.

wanna make a bet? I say at least 1 3rd party publisher will sell over 1m on Wii U...

After E3 I'd make a bet. Right now its pure madness to predict the future of consoles. Next gen has like 7 systems for pete's sake!

Ok, let me know after E3 then and I'll give you sig/avvy control forever if I'm wrong ;)

MH3U is most likely to hit 1m first I suspect, followed by either ZombiU or JD4 with Lego City behind those. In time they should all hit 1m

1. Monster Hunter 3 & 4
2. Zombi U needs strong legs (New demo might help)
3. Lego City Under Cover - first Lego Lego series? If my kids' enthusiasm are of any indication, this will be a huge hit.
4. Just Dance for U - with Gangnam Style

Just Dance. NOT MH or ZombiU or Lego City

Just Dance is already out for WiiU. But it sells... on Wii. We would have to wait until JD5.

I always thought half the appeal (or more) of the "LEGO" games was the license attached to it -- ie: Star Wars or Harry Potter or Batman or whatever.

Lego City is just lego blocks with a generic cops/robbers theme, I don't see it taking off.

If it was "Nintendo Lego" or something, than yeah definitely. 

There probably won't be a million selling Wii U third party game for a while though in the West. No 3DS third party game other than Angry Birds (lol) is above 400k. 

My guess would be Skylanders in 2014 or something might do it if the franchise is still big by then.
