250,000 this holiday. 1.3 lifetime.

You guys are seriously overestimating this hardcore. No kid will be screaming for captain toads treasure tracker this holiday. It's a niche Nintendo fan title.

Yea exactly. I doubt it'll even do 1.3 million but maybe it will.

Seriously Mario related characters are boring but toad is the most boringest character out of them all!

I really think it depends on its RRP.
Probably about 2mill LTD if the price is good.

I feel like I'm missing something here. Not sure why people expect this to be such a huge hit. The game seems to scream niche. It's an odd sort of puzzle/platform hybrid featuring a C rank Mario character. I'm not saying it won't be good, I'm sure it will be, but I don't see why people are expecting such huge sales, especially with Wii U figures where they're at.


I think it will ride on the success of 3D world. 


3D World is tracking far below pretty much every other 3D Mario game.  Optimistically (without bundling) 3D World will sell about 6-7 million.  I don't think 2/3 of those people are going to buy Captain Toad as many are predicting.


So what's your prediction then?



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

About 650,000 holiday, and 2.2 million lifetime. I'll definitely be picking it up. I really liked the toad parts of SM3dW.
