OP: List is out of order! Mario Party DS is actually the second best-selling MP game, with over 3M sold.
Mario Party 8 and DS could combine for 10M sold. MP8 is selling so well, and there are so many other party games out there now, and so many huge titles for the first half of the year, that Nintendo may hold MP9 for Xmas this year, or even next year, in which case MP8 could end up over 6M by itself. And MP: DS should move well past 4M.
The first 8 Mario Parties (1-7, Advance) combined sold about 15M.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
