Forums - Sales Discussion - Mario and Sonic sells about 10M copies!

well,

I always see many 360's in stock over here and according to VGChartz the ww stock is just ~700k, so I find it very much of a strecht to think 2.5M M&S games are on retailers shelves, but in my opinion it could be about 1.5M across the 2 versions in anticipation of the olympic games

Good that Sega have such a big hit, they need the money. Should help them quite a lot this FY as it's basically all profit now.

Yup, now they should be able to fund their HD games.

 


Depends on the royalties Nintendo gets from Sega for using their mascott-character + normal licensing fees for games on the console.

vgchartz isnt always right, but i doubt there off by 3 million

If only good games like Mario Kart Wii would sell as many copies like Sega's shovelware titles, the world would be a better place.

Don't you own a number of Sega's Wii titles?

Well, it's published by Nintendo in Japan, so Sega's cut will be even less there, but they're still making a tidy profit off every copy sold.

Well, Sonic Unleashed isn't going to sell as well on the PS3 and 360 as on the Wii but it will still cost more so Sega needs some nice pocket money to make up for that.

I thought Sega was doing a pretty good job on Wii compared to other third parties. What Sega titles are supposed to be shovelware?

You two do realise it was RolStoppable who made the comment right? And you do know who features in his avatar?

I honestly can never take him seriously, until he starts being serious in which case my eyeballs start suffocating my own brain.

 



 

 

Remember when Sega said it would sell 4.5 million and everybody laughed at them?

I didn't believe them.

I was wrong.
