Nice start for SMM2, anybody remember how much NSMBUD sold on its first week? I'm interested in comparing how popular the Maker series is compared to the regular 2D Mario games.

PS4 is holding well considering it's not discounted anymore (right?).

NSMBU Deluxe sold 185k units first week, according to Famitsu. It's a port of an old game though.

According to a mix of Media Create and Famitsu as sources:

NSMB (DS) - 899k
NSMB Wii - 936k
NSMB2 - 430k
NSMBU - 160k

The staleness of NSMB2 certainly took a toll on sales. NSMBU was a Wii U launch title, so naturally capped by sales of the console (Wii U debuted to sales of a good 300k units, so that would have been the maximum NSMBU could have achieved with a 100% attach rate). Although staleness was a factor too.

Yeah something needs to be done to shake up the formula because another title in the same vein won't probably do so well.
