How well will Captain Toad sell?

But 3D World itself is only at like 2.5 million as of now. I don't really see it selling over 4.5 million. (and that's if another 3D mario isn't announced for WiiU)

I think Captain Toad can sell 1.4 million lifetime. It's kinda niche, not the big headliner this holiday, mostly a puzzle platformer, and a little harder to market than other titles, if Nintendo puts anything in its marketing budget at all. For what it is I think 1.4 million is a hit and a good success

3D World will keep selling as long as the WiiU is alive I think. Im guessing around 8 million at least.

I dunno. I don't see it being heavily bundled in the future or anything. It will sell as long as WiiU does, but that won't be all that long and those sales will be slow. I may have lowballed the first guess but I still don't think it has the power to pass 5.5 lifetime.

But regardless of that, I don't see why people think Captain Toad will have a shot at such success as a niche, slow, not exciting to market puzzle spinoff that probably won't have near the legs. I stick by 1.4 million, which is pretty good for a game like this in my books, especially on WiiU.I don't know why people expect it to outperform Kirby/Yoshi/etc.

Though I know I'm picking it up if it has enough content.
