you people can't hang john lucas yet. It released the 1st, the sales data is only for the 1st. He still has 6 days left for 1 week to actually pass. He did state specifically that it was 1 real week, not 1 sales week.
so it only needs to sell 3.5 million in 6 days  |
That's right. Besides the prediction in full was about Wii Fit worldwide all 1st weeks combined. I simply specified Japan accounting for the staggered launch. Even if Japan fails on me the prediction is still on until Wii Fit releases in all territories. I'll only be eating a couple of black feathers instead of the whole bird. Prediction is still on.

Keep on dreaming ... it will never do as much as H3 did in the US in first week , and it deffinatly wont have a massive launch week in Others ... the game is IMO partially a flop ... only time will tell how much can its legs drag the game ... lets dont forget , it could be the next Nintendogs in the same time :) |
Can you justify that claim on any real level or are you just spouting more fanboy nonsense? How on earth did this game flop? It only sold 90% of the stock in two days. What a huge dissapontment! I am certain Nintendo regrets making so many of these units with that terrible sell rate! I guess you are just looking forward to the future. We all know these types of games are notorious for selling in quick bursts and then disappearing from the charts forever, especially in Japan. What would make it not a flop next week? Does it have to sell every last unit to be a success, or do you just want the Wii to fail? |
At this point a huge Nintendo 1st party game is considered to be successfull if , an only it selles over 500k IMO ... SMG was not a flop in the US , but than it was in Japan . Yes , I know that it can have legs , but in the same time it could have similar to MP3 , and thats not good IMO . When a gamelike Prof. Layton beats a monster like WiiFit in Japan , than you know that there is something wrong with the sales number . On the other hand I never saied that it couldent be a smash hit in the US or Others , or it couldent be a hit later on in Japan , but as it stands now , WiiFit didnt do far as well as people expected ... |
You're a troll, but the worst part is that you're not even good at it. You cannot magically redefine what a flop is to fit your fanboy preferences, being a Nintendo game doesn't set up this physical 500k barrier that must be broken. Saying that Wii Fit flopped when it almost sold through 90% in its first two days is simply moronic. It is not in your opinion, it's in your stupid-as-hell, barely-fit-to-be-called-an-opinion claim. And it will not be entertain. Be quiet. And to pretend like getting outsold by Layton, which is a monster itself, is somehow a bad thing? Nice try, punk. Ans clinging to the idea that SMG was flop in Japan? Damn, you must be pretty desperate. |
Layton a monster ... uhhh , maybe afther the release of the sequel , but not sooner . Untill two weeks ago , no gamer could have dreemed about it selling as well as it did . And dont get me wrong , but comparing Wii Fit or SMG to a game like New Super Mario Brothers ( wich did 910k in its opening week ) both games can be called dissapointing saleswise . Also , lets dont forget that SMG and Wii Fit had probably much higher development costs , while NSMB is a plain , simple sidescrooler , wich allready sold over 11 million copys .
But if you would have taken the time and read my comment carefully , I stated clearly that the game could do batter , just like SMG did in the US . The best example is Nintendogs , a game that had a good start in Japan as a new IP ( 170k ) and sold overall more than 15 million copys .
To make your read a bit faster I just bolded those parts in my comment , so please take your time , read again , and other times try and post with less offensive text next time , because if you didnt observed you to had become a troll ...
