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.

 

SMG has outsold Halo this holidays season, the graph is a bit off but actually Halo has been out a month or 2 longer.. so we should take where smg is in feb and compare to what is right now if we are going to be picky. Also the only reason Mario64 ds sells differently is because it was a lauch title meaning it launch on a smaller user base, 2 it was a port. SMG should have better legs than that game because SMG is an original title, and 3d games arent as popular on handhelds.
