| TheSource said: It was offered with Wii NSMB Wii Sports at Walmart on BF ahead of its release - I figure that deal alone assured it will reach alot of USA homes. You don't even need Nintendo or VGC for game sales in the USA really - Nintendo channel is fairly indicative with a multiplier of x3 to x8 for most stuff, more in a couple cases (Just Dance) less for super-online centric stuff. |
How long before the preowned market makes such data difficult to decipher? I live in the UK, and using the Nintendo channel's Wii Sports data (and knowing how many wiis have been sold in the UK), the ratio is around x10. However, this method - when applied to games that probably aren't disproportionately owned by people who use the Nintendo Channel - produces some surprisingly high sales estimates for games that never broke into the UK charts (e.g. Zack and Wiki; Disaster:DoC)
