Ioi Estimated it would do around 50% more than Super Mario Galaxy in the americas these coming weeks. SMG did 1.4 million in 4 weeks. Meaning if going by his estimation we would see numbers around 1.9 million in america alone in that time. My estimation would be similar, around 2 million. And with 550k first day in america, 1.9 million worldwide in the first 4 weeks sounds way too low. |
There's one thing that people seemingly do not account for: New Super Mario Bros. Wii will have a larger benefit from Black Friday than Super Mario Galaxy did.
Black Friday is far larger now than it was in 2007. Galaxy probably only saw a 50-100K boost from it, whereas New Super Mario Bros. Wii could get a far, far larger boost.
I would expect NSMB Wii to see nearly as large sales in week 2 (in Americas) as in week 1.
