Ok for 3D Mario, don't expect them to do as well as Galaxy 1 did but better than Sunshine. 7-9 million.

Smash-10million. Optimistic but I think Smash has been growing for a while and hit it's max with Brawl. Though I still think it will sell closer to Brawl than Melee, because of better online.

Zelda-Anywhere from 5-7 million. HD Zelda done right will pass 5 million easy.

"X"-Man this is hard. I WANT it to do 2 million or so, but I know it'll only reach 1.5 million at best.

Retro's project-No idea. Could be huge but we know nothing.

MK-No way it's going to do 33 Million again. 15 million at the most.

I agree with Otakumegane.

Pikmin is the real wild card, I'm interested to see how it does. I hope for 3 million or so, but I expect a max of 2.




3D Mario - 6 million

Smash Bros - 10 million

Mario Kart - 15 million

Monolith Soft's X - 1.3 million

HD Zelda - 4 million if cartoony, 7 million if dark/semi-realistic





Smash Bros - 8-10 million

3D Mario - 9-10 million

Zelda - 3-4 million

Mario Kart - 12-15 million

Wii Sports U - 5-6 million

Wii Fit U - 4-5 million

You think Wii U will end up with the same install base as Wii?

Wut?

Wii U is a disappoinment compared to the Wii. Wii was selling out everywhere whan it first launched, Wii U not so much.

How can it sell those software units if it can't match Wii's hardware sales? The casuals are not there, so it's on the core gamers to buy them.

Btw, i'm not trolling ;o



I'm tagging this for tomorrow.

Even though I don't agree with Basil, I don't see how it is impossible either, even with a different install base.



All first party major big titles above 5 millions. Expecting around 250-500k consoles every time one is released.
If you want to argue about that, I can't. These are my expectations, not my predictions. Hopefully "X" will sell 2 millions at least to call it success.
