Madworld Vs. No More Heroes sales thread

[stof]

Madworld is coming. It's violent, it's awesome, and it's getting a lot of comparisons to No More Heroes. And while the two game s clearly share some style and gameplay aspects, I think the game is in another league all together when it comes to sales. But I still think it might be interesting to compare the sales of the two games to see which comes out on top. Currently, No More Heroes sales are sitting at .39 million. Madworld is definitely going to beat one million in sales, but that will come later.

 

In the mean time, since it isn't out yet, lets look at NMH's original sales. The game had a scattered release date.

So there's a 72 thousand opening weekend. Madworld most likely won't muster any Japanese sales, so will it have a shot at NMH's opening? We'll see soon enough. I'll update this thread as it goes.
