Plus, MK Wii has ridiculously good sales. I still had to look and see that it was Rol to know it was sarcastic, though.

So anyways, even if "about 10M" means 9.1M, and there's 1M in stores... The Olympics boost and the holidays will push it up to 12M or more.

And who knows if the game will have legs beyond this year. Could it sell 15M?

I openly mocked someone for predicting 10M sales of this game back when people were laughing at SEGA for predicting 4M... Oops.

I think that it was shams who made this "ridiculous" prediction. But yes, M&S by far exceeded the expectations of everyone on this forum, except for shams.

PS - I am glad you liked my latest joke thread.

I think I may have said something like that. I remember people laughing at the 4m, and I was trying to break down the sales into "periods" and showing how each can sell a small quantity during each period, in each region (total sales could then be 4m).

It wouldn't be shocking to see total "sales" (not shipped) hit 10m this year - it may well be the top selling title in Australia during the Olympics. Also getting a lot of "catalog space" at the moment.

The 360/PS3 Olympics titles should also do well.
