aoixgp on 20 August 2010

I don't care if there is one or not and it doesn;t sound like you do either. However: can you show me a Dec. top 10 sales list where Maio isn't on it.

I thought after NSMB Wii SMG2 would really struggle as people would already have there Mario fix. I was thinking 5 million lifetime maybe. But it seems like it may be able to get to 5 million by the end of the year. I think if the game could get to 6.5 million or so total that would be fantastic.

I think holidays would be huge.

Off topic, I started playing this game yesterday. It's mind blowing.

Nintendo's really doing a disservice by not having a Wii Player's Choice line imo.  Games like Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princes and Metroid Prime 3 should've gone PC years ago, and they'd have likely doubled their ltds at this point.  Nintendo could be moving a LOT more Wii software than they currently are, and there's no real need to take the more evergreen titles PC (Mario Kart, Wii Fit/Plus, NSMB, etc)

Just compare the first 5 weeks of both games.

Mario Galaxy

1 619,379 260,993 180,754 1,061,126 1,061,126
2 374,987 78,563 148,485 602,035 1,663,161
3 169,229 44,750 148,013 361,992 2,025,153
4 217,252 35,917 145,951 399,120 2,424,273
5 270,209 38,671 173,997 482,877 2,907,150

Mario Galaxy 2

Week Americas Japan EMEAA Worldwide Running Total
1 779,015 340,397 275,255 1,394,667 1,394,667
2 334,740 105,582 194,790 635,112 2,029,779
3 174,923 73,446 122,307 370,676 2,400,455
4 113,220 51,171 83,318 247,709 2,648,164
5 75,298 40,738 71,845 187,881 2,836,045

 

Very similar numbers but the first one released near the Holidays, and the second one during summer. And the legs are pretty good, it could be doing great numbers in the holiday too.

Europeans like Galaxy 1 more than Galaxy 2.

You think Twilight Princess could have sold that much?

Well, maybe not double, but I bet it could've hit 8m had it gone budget priced in say 2008.

I want some pretty graphics. Where are them?



Above: still the best game of the year.

Huh. That would have been pretty incredible.
