NSMBU to date: 4.21m

Mario Sunshine: 6.31m

Do you think NSMBU will pass Sunshine's sales, lifetime?

I guess it already did with downloads and stuff...

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

If it continues to be bundled it will.

Uh, with an install base of 7.4 million, that would imply that over 85% of all Wii U owners have New Super Mario Bros. U. I know the game already has an outrageous attach rate, but I think 85% is pushing it.

But anyways, I think it has a good chance of outselling Sunshine, although it's less likely than it used to be because of the (in my opinion) better bundles Nintendo just released. I would much rather have Super Mario 3D World outsell Sunshine, but you can't win them all.

Once again, never at this rate since next year's weekly sales are going to be sub 5K after this holiday ...

Yes I think it will but it will take a long time to overtake Sunshine.

It was bundled for a long time, I even have it. But I guess it is impossible, I forgot how little the install base is.
