The lifetime over/under has to be pushing 20M by now. MK DS is going to sell 15M, and NSMB is going to sell 20M. And here's how those three games compare in early sales... http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Mario+Kart+Wii+-+Wii®2=All&game2=Mario+Kart+DS+-+DS®3=All&game3=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS&weeks=52 |
Very interesting graph Erik. This seems really huge, since MK DS and NSMB are still moving about 70k a week, which is more than all the other contenders for game of the generation do although being on sale for much less time. If MK Wii really has the same legs, you will be right with your bold prediction.
