Did decent since at 1.63m (first game) and 1.20m (second). I am more curious what Luigi's Mansion 2 on 3DS will sell considering the first one sold ~3.6m (with the help of being a launch title and no Mario). Pikmin 3 should probably end up around 2-3m tops lifetime. |
Luigi's Mansion 2 will do really well, I would imagine. Game has been getting a lot of attention, and that series definitely has gained a huge following since the GameCube's launch.
I'm cautiously optimistic about Pikmin 3 sales. I think it will do better than Pikmin 2 because that series as well has gained a lot of attention since first being on GameCube, but I wouldn't expect the game to pass 2 million until well after release...probably after being marked down as a Nintendo Selects game two or three years from now.
I honestly expect Luigi's Mansion to sell much better than Pikmin. 3DS install base advantage, coupled with all the attention as a "media darling" game, and the fact that it's been so long since the previous title. It'll probably end up being 3DS's fourth biggest-selling first-party game overall, behind NSMB2, 3D Land and Kart 7.
