@Rath, games sell 80% of it LTD sales in first 12-16 weeks.
Unless, not all fans bought system, where that game is released(looks like not in this case).

@RolStoppable,

How can all hardcore Mario fans have already bought SMG in Japan, when SMG hasn't even reached half of SM64's sales?
BECAUSE SM64 had strong SNES userbase behind, SMG DON`T.
Hardcore Mario fans read reviews, they see that SMG is better than SM64, so they will buy SMG in the upcoming months along with a Wii, because they don't own one yet. =)
That`s why sales DECLINED in JAPAN already.
or maybe you expect SMG to reach 2 mln. in Japan? SMG will suddently jump to 50-60k per week?
SMG is guaranteed to sell at least 2m units in Japan, because it received higher review scores than SM64. =)
Yeah, even if every 10th new wii owner will buy SMG it won`t reach 2 mln. in Japan.

@Kasz216, 5 mln. SMG on x360? LOL.
Since when x360 or ps3 users care SO much about Mario games? =)
You are really overestimating mario brand.



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.
