New Super Mario Bros. Wii has sold 1.9m in 3 weeks but is what is known as a long-term seller. It should hit 4m with ease and could top out at over 5m.

Final Fantasy XIII has sold 1.5m in the first week but what is known as a short-term seller or "frontloaded". Typically, FF games sell around 75% of their total in week one, suggesting FF XIII is good for about 2m in total (and maybe another 200-300k with international releases and budget releases).

A quick example of this difference:

There is no way on earth that FFXIII will outsell NSMB Wii in Japan or even come anywhere close.

My PREDICTION is that at the end of this gen, FF13 will sell more than NSMBW. I might be wrong and i might be right. There is no need to say im a joke account because of my prediction. You were wrong before too.

 

 

Your predictions is kind strange. FFXIII will be luck pass 12 million copies WW, NSMW is sure to be at least 15 million.

FFXIII would be lucky to pass 10m.  Hell, 8m even.

I'm also not entirely convinced NSMB will pass 15m either.
