^Then why does Iwata believe it'll be near 10 million by the end of FY 2009?

Isnt that number supposed to be attributed to copies shipped?

even if he did believe it will sell that many, i dont know why. why dont you enlighten us?

the 10 million is shipped, but I doubt they'll let millions of NSMB's just sit on the shelf, so he's probably expecting 8.5 million plus sold

As I've pointed out, the word of mouth and playing with friends will be bigger than any marketing could be for this game
