Good, good!

All right, guys. Let's meet back up in a year to see who had the best 104 weeks. I want to see whose legs are longer.

Ey, MKWii's first year will probably > all previous gen games first 2 years.

GTA: SA sold ~ 2.2M from week 52-104. http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Grand+Theft+Auto%3A+San+Andreas+-+PS2&reg2=All&game2=Mario+Kart+Wii+-+Wii&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=104

MKWii will have passed GTA:SAs 104 weeks by the end of January (less than 45 weeks).

 

For MKWii's 104 week, total. Well...

If we say 16M after 52 weeks.

Then we exclude the next holiday (9 weeks November + December) and you have 43 weeks. MKWiis average will probably pin between 100-150K, so ~ 5M seems reasonable for this time.

Then, there's the holidays. For 08, we're looking at ~ 5M for the holidays. If we say a 33% drop, that puts it at ~ 3.33M

So I'd say roughly 25M seems reasonable for 104 weeks MKWii.
