Not bad for DQ10 and Wii, but expected them to be higher. NSMB2 sales are disappointing. I really hope digital sales are huge because it's starting to compare terribly to its bigger brother...

Basically, NSMB FW > NSMB2 3 weeks of sales! Its amazing how the game kept selling 100k+ for 13 consecutive weeks!!!

Next week I think is Obon so everything should be up.

Don't forget that the DS had 2 million more hardware units sold more than the 3DS at the same time. Also take in series fatigue.

Which is Nintendo's fault. Focusing on collecting coins is not interesting, and almost 100% sure people buy it for the platforming, which again, doesn't show anything new.

As someone who hasn't played, but watched the walkthrough (I know, I know) it was dissaponting to see nothing new on level design and worlds looking like DS rather than Wii. Hopefully NSMBU is a true NSMB sequel.

In my opinion, these NSMB games lack a certain 'charm' compared to 2D Marios on the NES and SNES...they spent about 15 years without releasing a new iteration till NSMB for the DS back in 2006, then they opened their eyes to the fact 2D Mario is a huge system seller, but it seems they only treat it as a cash in game, a way to make a quick buck.You can tell their priorities, when it comes to truly polishing a game and giving it their best, lie with 3D Mario.

It´s sad because they owe their success to the original Mario Brothers...if it wasn´t for that game, maybe the NES wouldn´t have taken off.
