Anyone else surprised how well this did? I guess the advertising must have helped

 

No Suprise at all. The Mario Party games have always sold well. This is how the Cube games panned out in NA.

Mario Party 4Nintendo 1.13 Million
Mario Party 5Nintendo

0.96 Million

Mario Party 7Nintendo 0.87 Million
Mario Party 6Nintendo 0.85 Million

While the sales clearly decreased for each iteration (and rightfully so!), the Wii is the perfect fit for Mario Party, and I wouldn't be suprised if MP 8 outsells them all, despite it's rather mixed reviews.

The crazy market will be Japan. In Japan, Mario Party 4 was the second highest selling Gamecube title.

However Mario Party 8 has the potential to become the next Wii Sports over there. And if that's the case, god have mercy on us all!




I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.
