ALL marioboys bought SMG and Wii? Or speculations made on SMG and SMS sales

[stof]

Wow, I don't normally do the crazy long post point/counterpoint... This should be fun

Stof - Actually, it'd be more accurate to say that SMG sales in 12 weeks are very close to SMS sales Lifetime.

Crazy -With 20 mln. Wii and 21,5 mln. GC. Very LOGICAL.

That's not logical at all. The userbase isn't the defining factor at this point. The game's only been out for 12 weeks! Sunshine was out for years. However over time the userbase will be the big factor, and the Wii's userbase will make the cube look like a wonderswan.

Stof - 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.

Crazy -So how much you expect to sell SMG in next 16 weeks in Japan, USA and Europe?

Huh? I pointed out that your Japan argument doesn't make sense, what's that have to do with world wide 16 week sales? I'm saying that sunshine was purchased by a percentage of new console owners, and so will Galaxy. The difference here is that a lot more people in Japan will be buying the Wii than the Cube, so Galaxy sales will remain substantially higher.

Stof - The Wii's already outsold the Cube and they won't be stopping anytime soon.

Crazy - Actually not yet, still 1,5 mln. behind, of`course not for long.

I was refering to Japan

Stof - 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?

Crazy - Then why THAT incredible game didn`t made over 10 mln. yet?

Um.. It's only been out for 12 weeks! And in it's 12th week it was the highest selling game World Wide with 166 thousand in the middle of January! So it hasn't made 10 million yet because that's a silly expectation.

 

Huh. That was fun.
