More Mario numbers for reference: Sunshine: 350k Mario games are more like slow-burners, gaining their impressive sales over the long haul rather than blowing their wad month-one with huge launches and then having weak legs like so many other big AAA games do. Galaxy and Odyssey had by far the best launches of any 3D Mario game, but a million copies isn't exactly record-breaking. That being said, I do think SMO has the capacity to sell over 10 million copies lifetime. SM64 and Galaxy 1 are the best-selling 3D Mario games for home consoles, and they both sold over 11 million. |
I guess the question is if being 4th is impressive where do your draw the line. PS4 and X1 have had several near 300k Octobers don't recall anyone claiming they were impressive. Normally impressive means exceptional.
