Moderation on this site stops trolls and people who want to cause an argument, which is one of the reasons I like this site. So he's had 2 accounts then, he got fined $2,000 twice on the same, must be for his account and his other account.

I would say probably, yes. Honestly it is not so surprising when you think about it. The fanbase is the same as DW, and those games have yet to come to Wii. The fanbase is located on the other systems, so what can you expect? Not the smartest move on their part.

If bundled sales are included I would say SW3 has a relatively slow start and won't be as big as some expected then ( the majority of the bundle sales will happen on first day due to limited bundle availability in most cases).

Tell me if I am mistaken but I think a commonly accepted number for SW3 Lifetime sales was 250-300k nope ? ( I know Soriku  kept mentioning that game as one of the good holidays sellers).

Might still break it, should sell 130-160K first week, selling to 250K lifetime is possible

I think it's all going to depend whether bundles are included in those 80k and how many bundles were available.

If its 20k bundles and they are included I'm going to say first week will end up around 130k top...

I sure hope it legs out during the holidays, i'm still predicting it will break 250k minimum especially since Soriku said somethin abt the bundles sold out(i'm assuming that includes the CC bundles). Plus if NSMB does drive hardware then i'm rly expecting good week 2 sales and not a ma massive drop. Lets wait for next week numbers before predicting though :)

I must say that witnessing the meltdown by ZorroX and then see him getting permabanned was quite entertaining =) I know one is not supposed to be happy about other peoples failures but in this case I can´t help it. Sorry.

Back on topic: 420k first day is a great result for this type of game since it is expected to sell with legs. I think we´re looking at 750-900k in first week sales which is awesome. I had slightly higher prediction but the only reason why some are dissapointed with these sales is that our expectations were huge. This is going to be one of Wii´s biggest titles ever in Japan. It probably won´t reach the alltime sales of NSMB but it only has to do half of those to be a huge hit.
