In Noth America in their first week these games sold the following and ended up Million Sellers (or soon will be):

Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles 76,535
Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition 70,880
Sonic and the Secret Rings 50,713
Shawn White Snowboarding: Road Trip 45,840
Call of Duty World at War 44,468
Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga 40,831
House of the Dead 2&3 the Return 13,910

Now, I'm not claiming that MadWorld will be a million selling game ... but even core Wii games sell over time and it is foolish to look at a single Wii games sales in one week and in one market and claim that it is not selling.

Agreed, I even found more examples (previously posted at US weekly sales for March 14)

Of all 3rd Party Wii Platinum Sellers ONLY 27% sold more than 57K first week and they all had established names or franchises:

Platinum 3rd Party Games That Had Under 57K First Week (19)

Carnival Games sold 35K US first week - 3.19 M
Lego Star Wars 41K - 2.24 M
Decca Sports 23K - 1.72 M
Game Party 7K - 1.94M
My Sims 46K - 1.42 M
Rayman Raving Rabbids II 49K - 1.62 M
Raving Rabbids TV Party 40K - 1.28M
High School Musical Sing It 25K - 1.38M
Call of Duty WaW 44K - 1M
Sonic & Secret Rings - 51K 2.02M
We Ski 31K - 1.33M
Big Beach Sports 17K - 1.17M
Cooking Mama Cook Off 19K - 1.1 M
Shaun White Snowboard 46K - 1.03M

Lifetime sales for Madworld will be 2-3 million so I wouldn't worry.

Or so I've heard :p

Yeah, that's a bit too much in expectations.

 

I expect it to sell at least 800k. But hell, I'd be surprised if it even gets to 2-3 million. :D

LOL, I think 800.000 will be more reasonable and I think the guys at platinumgames will be very pleased with that number.

Go watch it for some good giggles.

Do you want me to post photos on my 42' HDTV to show that what you say it's a complete lie?

I can tell you that it is the game with less giggles I played on the Wii... ;)

I'd be content with 650k for Madworld lifetime, and it is already 8% there without the Europe release.

When it does release there, I PREDICT, it will be at 13% sales completion, because that is how I operate now lol



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

50k first week......tsk tsk. But don't worry, since it's a Wii game, Nintendo fans will trumpet this as a success because "This game was of low budget, so it didn't take that much to make a profit".....or at least that's what they all say

What you meant to say was, "only out 3 days and in the TOP TEN sales? AWESOME."
