| prayformojo said: It's going to suffer the same fate as Pikmin. Decent first couple weeks, then nose dive. The reason being is that systems aren't selling so these numbers are from people who already have the system. |
Not that it's GREAT numbers, but Wii U just sold over 100k in it's last tracked week, and I expect that to jump quite a bit for Black Friday. In fact I expect system sales to remain around the 80-100k+ mark (at least) throughout the end of the year.
And while Pikmin's sales did taper off, you have to remember something: Pikmin is Pikmin......Mario is Mario. Pikmin 3, despite it's flaws (IE the things they took out like camera zoom, swarming, and multiple save files), has legs, and will eventually sell over 1m. But this new Mario has great reviews, most people that have played it seem to like it if not love it, and with a little help from Black Friday and beyond, I fully expect it to have sold 1 million+ by the end of the year, if not 2m.
And like all Mario games, it too will have serious legs.
