In less time too. Wow.

I can see why you are surprised by this.

 

Not only wrong, but ongoing wrong. It sure is looking like Wii Fit will be the best selling game of this era on a single platform and may give the multi-platform games a run for their money. Next target Halo 3.

i'm pretty sure mario kart is next for wii fit to beat actually

Olivia fuckn Newton John, thats it. SMG is dead. Break out the Nicole Kidman Wii Fit underwear dance and its over.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I'm still convinced Wii Play and later Wii Sports Resort will have seen the most sales on the platform at the end of the current console generation. Not including Wii Sports since it's bundled everywhere but Japan.

Wii Fit will probably be the third best seller on the platform.

Well, it was going to happen sooner or later. Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit are just monsters that can't be stopped. But still, SMG is doing very well with nearly 7 million units sold in about 9 months.



Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!

I'm not so sure. MK is a moving target while Halo 3 is relatively stationary.

Halo 3 is not a worthy prize for MKWII.



Go buy Metroid OTHER M!

i find it funny that the top wii games had some sort of assesory bundled with it(not saying that mario kart wii needed the wii wheel to sell 10million) but nintendo as a developer must be intimadating, how much has mgs4 sold? i thought ps3 had a game reach 5mil(i guess not)
