Forums - Sales - Media Create & Famitsu Japan Sales: Week 31, 2012 (Jul 30 - Aug 05)

C-M-D on 08 August 2012

I wonder if New Super Mario Bros.2 lifetime sales will be the same as Super Mario Bros. 2 Japan's lifetime sales.

 

 

Edit: ^ :P

Here's a useful tidbit about mario sales

"8,571,596 is what the DS had sold in the first two weeks of NSMB. You can't count the NSMB attach ratio as the same here. "

3DS is not even at 7 so far. Explains a little bit. The best explanation, though is... it going to sell less than NSMB1, we'll have to deal with it! Still going to be a success! And a BIG one!

Usually DQ launch at weekend, and yes still not a good number for DQ mainline series but wii sales just boosted up for almost 400%!

See. This is what I do not understand. But the graphics of 2D mario barely improve anyway (point 1) and the entire success of Wii disproves that theory ;o. 

It. Won't. Work.

My take is basically your first point but also because it does not look to improve very much on the original. A new mode, sure, but where is the innovation Mario is known for? Rol would say 2D Mario doesn't need innovation because it is perfect as it is, but then why don't we just play the old games? They are pretty timeless anyway (most of them).

Because many people don't have the older consoles.

The entire page-worth of conversation resulting from this exchange was irrelevant. Virtual Console, anyone?

Anyway, the answer to pezus's bolded question is in the sales. By all means, pezus, play the old games if you prefer them. But over 25 million people would rather like to play these new ones. I can't answer for all 25 million to why they don't just play the old ones.

Maybe it was irrelevant to you, but obviously not to us.

I estimated 500k for DQX, but only 30k for Wii hardware.

Hopefully this boost will keep Wii sales (both hardware and software) healthy for the next few weeks. It's nice to see the little console that could still live and kicking.

Does Vgchartz usually go by MC or Famitsu numbers?
