Great start for Assassin's Creed 2, NSMB Wii, and Left 4 Dead 2. I don't think anyone expected them not to though. And according to the MVC article, Wii is continuing to have sales explode in that of UK with a lot of it due to the limited edition black Wii.
Now I see a lot of SILLY posts so let me correct something. All Wii games don't have legs. ACTUALLY, the majority of games don't have legs. It's never the case for really anything. But big mainstream products are generally able to sell over long periods of time. Take Halo 3 for instance. This is a huge mainstream property, especially in that of America. Thus it has been able to sell continuously over long periods of time... it will have a good holiday season as well to continue that. Super Smash Bros Brawl is another great example of this which is following similar trends.
People use legs as a way to justify when a game levels off. If your game is selling 10k a week that is not legs. That is nowhere near it. Games that sell well over time are ones that continue to sell well after the holiday season (NSMB DS, Mario Kart, Halo 3) and get HUGE boosts during that of the holiday season. Most of you can't name that many titles when you see those qualifications and that is the point. This is legs... a game that continues to sell like it was just released and that is what those kinds of titles do. That is why Halo is over 10 million, and Mario Kart and NSMB DS are coming in on 20 million. They have huge mainstream appeal.
For the case of NSMB Wii and Modern Warfare 2, it is no doubt that both are huge mainstream properties. I don't think too many will argue what is a bigger mainstream property, but both are going to sell well over a good 2 years to come... just like past games in both franchises have done. Which will end up selling more? Well considering MW2 is on multiple platforms it's a little unfair to discuss but still both will have great sales this holiday season tied in with their huge openers along with continued sales for the next couple of years. |

Uncharted doesnt count, it wasnt big enough and spent too many weeks at 10k.
