The game giga flopped in Japan. We will see for NPD numbers in US but I don't think it will sell well. I expect NSMBU to easily outsell it. The worst about Mario 3D World numbers, it's that it did not seem to appear to move Wii U the slightlest while it was supposed to be the "Wii U killer app". I swear Donkey Kong would have outsold it if it wasn't delayed. |
it "giga flopped" by selling 100k on an install base of 1.1 million? 1 out of 11 wii u owners bought it there at launch, that is a pretty good launch numbers for any game. It will also continue to sell. Like I and others are telling you, this is more of a problem of install base and hardware than anything to do with the game itself.
Just out of curiosity? what number would mean it was a regular flop? What number would mean it did ok? What number would mean it was a success? Just so I can gauge where you are coming from.
