notice SMG catching Halo 3, and then look at how a 3d mario never dies on the DS, and that was a port...

Actually, this graph is pretty useless. It gives a fake perspective, as SMG sees the holiday boost earlier (on the graph) than Halo 3.

It will in a few weeks make it seem as if Halo 3 actually sold better in the next few weeks than SMG. That alone should put the graph off.

As for the SM64 allignment, it sells in a completely different way than SMG, and thus comparing them becomes useless.

 

TWRoO - do you not believe MKWii will make 21M ETY 09?

We're looking at 14M ETY 08.

Then 150K/week (it hasn't dropped below it in 08, with the exception of a few supply constrained weeks) for the first 6 months = ~ 4M

120K/week for the next 4 months = 2M

Then 3M (vs 4.5M for 08) in the holidays

Equal 9M, and honestly - I think it will beat that.
