It did what I expected in NA, but did way under what I expected in PAL. I guess I overestimated PAL's enjoyment of boxing type games. Which is interesting, because I remember a lot of big boxing fights happening outside of the US.

But Punch Out is hardly a boxing game... maybe it's the whole NES nostalgia effect that has less weight over here. I can't really say first-hand, because at the time I was a computer guy, but I always was under the impression that the NES had a much lesser importance in Europe than in America and Japan.

If that's true, Others market can be expected to have less sales upfront (mostly core fans), but more or less the same legs after some time (mostly newcomers).

I'm well aware it isn't a boxing game, but it is a boxing game. I loved the NES version, and love the Wii version. And yes, the NES wasn't nearly as popular in PAL. The Master System did way better in the region.
