Wii Sports Resort will be a very good contender.

at least san andres is still the fastest to 10million(9 weeks) but that's with launches aligned

Wow....just wow. I knew Mario Kart Wii would be a big seller, but I had no idea it would be this huge. This game is unstoppable.



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!

Wii Fit would be doing better, but it had a really late Americas + Others launch

Anyway, well done to it - nearly 1 million last week

 I disagree. Wiifit's widely spaced launchs were not the problem, they were just a symptom of the real problem - manufacturing the hardware. If Wiifit had launched everywhere in December 2007, it would be in the exact same place it is, and its launch would have been plagued by even greater shortages than in was.

if wii fit didnt have such a staggered launch it would be far more competitive.

Amazing achievement, nintendo.



 

 

 

 

 

Check out my pyro tf2 vid :)

 

Bet With routsounmanman: By the end of Q1 2008 Capcom WONT have announced a RE5 Wii Edition OR a new RE (classic gameplay) for the Wii (WON)

For a while, you did - those little plastic shells were ridiculously hard to find!  Probably would have had better luck finding 3 more copies of MK:Wii (which was also in short supply) than those shells, at least in my area.
