| Oyvoyvoyv said: It won't beat Sm64 in Japan? Why? It has sold 870K, with good legs, while Sm64 had 1M in the same time... Sm64 sold 23k in its 12th week. SMG sold 16k and it is Januray. I'd say that is pretty much the same. |
Very true, we also need to remember that the 64 had good start in Japan, and Mario 64 was the ONLY game for like 1 year... The fact that SMG is keeping pace with Mario 64 should bode well for it, as the Wii's userbase is growing rapidly. Also, couple that with the fact that SSBB will boost the size of the "real" gamer market in Japan, Galaxy should sell above 10k for a good while, and then find eternal legs at 5-8k. It will sell over Million in Japan before all is said and done.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
