Forums - Nintendo - Wii - 5 games over 4 million sold

Wii SportsNintendo2.588.666.2217.46
Wii PlayNintendo2.093.982.638.70
Super Mario GalaxyNintendo0.792.291.424.50
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessNintendo0.562.291.504.35
Mario Party 8Nintendo1.121.921.024.06

 

WiiSports - A definiing expierience for the Wii. An unparalled system seller.

WiiPlay - About to pass 4 million in the US alone. Surely this combo pack will inspire some new marketing techniques for moving games and accessories.

Galaxy - Storming past 4 million in under 2 months, will it catch Halo 3 or previous Mario entries?

Zelda - A strong holiday resurgance has pushed Zelda back up the charts where it will likely stay as long a the Wiis keep moving.

Mario Party - The only thing that will stop the maddness is Mario Party 9. The sucess of this along with Mario and & Sonic and Warioware speak to the Wii userbase desire to have more games make use of motion controls (not just a penchant for party games).

 

After 14 months we have 5 games reaching this mighty goal. How many will there be by next January. I think Mario & Sonic will, along with WiiFit, SSBB,  and Mario Kart. Putting the total up to 9. 

As for other titles already out that will eventually get there in the Wii's lifetime. I say Warioware and Super Paper Mario. I also put a real outside shot on Big Brain Academy (When it drops to $20-$30 it could sell forever a la Brain Age on DS) and Resident Evil 4. Not to mention the tons of amazing unannouced games



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

*naznatips is exempt

Ah, Call of duty will be in there pretty soon, doesn't it? It still has more Million seller. So it doesn't do bad, but the Wii will outdo it pretty soon.

 



The next 4 million seller would either be SSBB or mario&sonic at the olympic games



GO WII GO!!!

@Auron -- wtf? You actually say Boo to Galaxy??? I hope that was sarcasm that I missed in the faceless forum.



By th end of this gen Nintendo will probably have a few dozen 5 million seller+ games



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

@pichu_pichu "The next 4 million seller would either be SSBB or mario&sonic at the olympic games"

Remember a few months back this entire board was laughing at Sega's statement that it would sell 4 Mil. Imagine how well this is gonna sell during the Olympics, and again when it gets a price drop. It could outsell Halo 3 WW lifetime sales.

I bought this for my kids at Christmas, it really is a great party game (I'll eat my crow now...)



BAM! There it is!
