3DS hardware is godly. NSMB2 on Usa....wow...
Wonder what Iwata is thinking about the bad sales in the west for Nsmb2 compared to Japan, which ironically was released for the western markets.

People always do this with mario games not realising it will still be charting in four to five years. The sales are fine.

Doesn't change the fact that are dissapointing compared to Japan FW, which was already below DS and Wii iteartions; all of this in the context that this game was released for the western markets.

Japan FW: 423k

USA: 178k

Less than a half in the largest market. Maybe 100-120k (being optimisstic) for downloadable sales will make it look better.

I don't know exactly what were Nintendo expectations for this game, but must be somewhat low to say these sales are "fine" (compared to previous NSMB games and only first week).

This doesn't change the fact that it sold much better than NSMB DS (not including digital sales), which is something NSMB 2 didn't do in Japan.
