Super Mario Galaxy has nearly outsold Sunshine in 3 months. I seriously doubt the game is going to lose its legs anytime soon. It launched singificantly weaker than Sunshine in Japan but has since passed the total sold in far less time.
And SMS sold 100k in last 90 weeks.
SMG will sell 15 million with 100 million Wii sell
Ratchet will reach 3 mln. with 100 mln. ps3. YES! =))
Considering it was the #1 game in the US last week it might be alittle early to start talking about SMG's decline.
I said that too in first post.
lest COMPARE the games in a same timeframe....[/.quote]@darthdevidem01, Japan sales vs ALL. =)) [quote]You think Mario is only going to sell under 2½ million more, but Uncharted is sure to double its current sales? Now you're just being crazzy.
Uncharted is NEW IP, while Super Mario is NOT, and BASED on SMS sales i compare SMG sales.
@stof,
Actually, it'd be more accurate to say that SMG sales in 12 weeks are very close to SMS sales Lifetime.
With 20 mln. Wii and 21,5 mln. GC. Very LOGICAL.
Your Japan argument still ignores 2 very important things. 1. IT'S JANUARY! All game sales decline unless they're Wiifit! And secondly, Sunshine's sales are largely reflective of the console itself, which fizzled and faded away in Japan.
So how much you expect to sell SMG in next 16 weeks in Japan, USA and Europe?
The Wii's already outsold the Cube and they won't be stopping anytime soon.
Actually not yet, still 1,5 mln. behind, of`course not for long.
And wait... I don't even know what the heck your last sentence means. Is it that hard to believe that Mario Galaxy is just an incredibly fun game that appeals to a lot of people?
Then why THAT incredible game didn`t made over 10 mln. yet, instead of 5? Maybe because mariofans mostly bought it?
