You know Zuc's, I'm going to say your 9m prediction is quite feasable. Simply because although things move so fast around here, I remember when CoD:W@W was being called a flop (lol) and you (along with BigJon) Were talking about how 1m was entirely possible and look what happened there.

You seem quick to dismiss yourself as being overly optimistic a lot of the times but honestly you aren't. Realistic is more like it. ;)

Well thanks.  I think it is quite feasible as well but does have to hit the higher tier of sales in all regions.  But I think I've under estimated the selling power in Mario in America a little bit (especially considering I doubt Ninty under shipped it by too much and the game is selling out) so that will help the prediction.  But I do like the middle ground a little better and maybe the 8.5 million number will turn out to be around the actual number.  But hey not like it is impossible right.

 

The selling out could be the fault of retailers in question rather than Nintendo; they may have under-estimated demand and placed orders that were too small.
