@ Neos

you predicted 700-800k first week for this game (look on the first page of this thread) and now you are saying 130K is good for this game? Why such a contradiction? Is it because you cant except that a mario game underachieved?

Until sales numbers for the full week come out, there's no contradiction to point at.

so it is going to sell another 570k in 3 days, yeah i can see thats going to happen. All I expected Neos to say was that he was disapointed with first day sales given his 700k first week prediction, but instead he said that they were good. Just admit that this game hasn't got off to the flying start EVERYONE expected.

 Actually the fact that nobody has said its off to a great start should speak for itself.  The fact that you seem to want everyone to mope over it is sort of amusing and comes off sort of like Cartman trying to lick the tears of Scott Tenorman (South Park Epsiode #66 (S5E01)).

Is it really that important to you?

In two hours, when the preliminary Japanese data comes in, I'll give my estimate (quickly) of how well Galaxy likely sold in week one.

Right now, 200k is pretty much a guarentee, but I wouldn't be surprised if it still ends up at 300k-350k.

After this source the game was at 170K after two days (thursday and friday ) .As it sold only one more day (saturday ,with sunday most stores being closed ) I think it will pass 200K and probably go around 225-250K but dont think it will sell 300K .

A very good debut but definitely far behind the 700K some people were expecting .



@Sqrl

well Neos said first day figures were good and that was what i was commenting on, the fact that he contradicts himself. Why would I want people to mope over it, I just dont like it when people contradicts themselves, especially a fanboy troll.



I consider anything under 300k a complete bomb, and really disappointing for the title.

I'm sure it will do a lot better (week#1) in the US & Europe.

I'll be pretty pi$$ed if WiiFit sells more than Galaxy week#1!!

(if Galaxy doesn't pull 1m in Japan this year... I'll stick by my theory that all consoles in Japan are DEAD).

If consoles were dead in Japan, why would Wii be selling more than the PS2 there, in terms of aligned launches?
