It's not like it was released on a system as strong as the PS2 or Wii after all. =P

Yeah, those 2 are really comparable. Ps2 120m sold, wii 30m sold. Oh well.

 

 

Over 8 years versus less than two. Multiply 2 years and 30 million units by 4, and you have 8 years and 120 million units. So I would say that is comparible.

Also, look at Mario Kart Wii, which came out on the same week, and everyone was sure would be run over. It has better legs than either version, and has outsold both versions. And that's not even taking profitability into account.

EDIT: Total sales are still better than either version if you take Japan out, and the legs still apply.
