So are Mario and DQX a failure or not?


DQX is doing excellent numbers.. Mario not so much. But I'm gonna reserve my judgement till after Ninty releases download figures


They did, add 5% to that number (not 1 million yet :( )

20% for Onitore

But like I said in the other thread... look at the competition Mario is facing now. Compare to the ecosystem of games (especially third party) from now and 2006 - plus all those extra (2 million) DS's available (ds had two holidays by then)

Mario is doing great, imo. It's just not going to be NSMB

Wait wait... they announced the digital sales?! WHERE?! O_o

And yeah as you said, it will do really well, probably will manage 4 mil+ which is still amazing for a Mario game. But like the drop from Pokemon R/B to G/S and the other gens, NSMB was the first 2D MArio game in over 15 years which is why it had so much hype. I still expect it to sell 20 mil+ WW

I really don't think so. While 4 million in japan is my prediction too, in the west I think it'll not be even close to what the last one did - which is a shame. Market changed a lot imo.

Maybe the only way to thrive sales would be for next gen to go for the GB/GBA route... weak hardware... but for 69.99. I'm looking at an ad here, GBA in 2003 was 59.99... crazy.



 

That Pacman is firing his Laser! Get Dauuunn!

 

But seriously, good numbers for Nintendo. And Vita is saved I guess?



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Answer me.. where did they announce digital sales?!

And I still think the west will eat up Mario, I just think that 3D Land is affecting sales a bit now since 3D Land is not your typical 3D platformer, more like 2D in 3D? Which is why it's selling better than 3D Mario games, but less than 2D. So NSMB 2 should start kicking this holiday season. The hold has been strong anyways

5% Mario

20% Onitore



Nintendo owns the top10 !! that's really insane ! I think the vita's just screwed in Japan.. no games this year except for Hatsune miku and Soul Sacrifice .. :/



Obon sure did help Nintendo software. Nintendomination this week.

MC trolling us by sticking PS3 slice in between 3DS and Wii, lol!  What's the percentage amount for Pacman again?
