Those are some really good SM3DW numbers considering it was only the sales on day 1. Xbone had a really nice launch overall too. You guys have to remember that the best launches ever have been PS4/X1/PS2/Wii U in that order. I guess all of the experts who keep saying that console gaming is dead didn't learn their lesson from when they said the 3DS was dead because of smartphones. A healthy game industry is a good thing because that means Microsoft,Sony, and Nintendo are not going anywhere, anytime soon. I'm expecting the 3DS console sales to be ridiculous after Black Friday too after seeing Target in Tampa sell all 50 they had in about 5 minutes.

Why is counting days almost always a problem that I almost exclusively see when Nintendo games release? It's the 22nd+23rd = two days, just like pretty much every other game release (almost) in America.

I was'nt sure if it counted 1 or 2 days, but even if its two those are pretty solid numbers.   It matters because Nintendo games keep selling consistantly over a long period of time, while most games on PS and Xbox get their 2 week burst and then they just fall off the charts.   A 243K start for a mario game is much different then a 143K start for a game like Ryse. (just an example).   I would'nt be shocked one bit if the week ending on the 30th saw sales around 400K considering the marketing, Black Friday, and holiday shopping in general.
