It outsold the original nsmb in the us. Have you not been paying attention. Believe me the sales are fine. They will stay at a steady clip till the holidays and then explode, like all mario games. Japan seems to be different in that the first few weeks are more loaded sales wise than the us and europe. I would expect to see it outselling japan sooner rather than later.

It's obvious that I did:

3DS hardware is godly. NSMB2 on Usa....wow...
Wonder what Iwata is thinking about the bad sales in the west for Nsmb2 compared to Japan, which ironically was released for the western markets.

Edit: I said wow:

NSMB DS FW - 150k

USA DS installbase - 4.62M

NSMB2 = NSMB

I need to fix:

NSMB2 > NSMB

@Poke

We need digital sales and see next weeks performance to make a proper judgement, but from what we know right now (retail sales) outselling NSMB is not a big achievement. As was mentioned before, legs could be large, but we have another NSMB game in less than 3 months in the buzz of a new console.

I believe it will be harder for NSMB2 this holiday than the next ones to post big numbers with 2 relative new 2D Marios.

People always do this with mario games not realising it will still be charting in four to five years. The sales are fine.

Doesn't change the fact that are dissapointing compared to Japan FW, which was already below DS and Wii iteartions; all of this in the context that this game was released for the western markets.

Japan FW: 423k

USA: 178k

Less than a half in the largest market. Maybe 100-120k (being optimisstic) for downloadable sales will make it look better.

I don't know exactly what were Nintendo expectations for this game, but must be somewhat low to say these sales are "fine" (compared to previous NSMB games and only first week).

This doesn't change the fact that it sold much better than NSMB DS (not including digital sales), which is something NSMB 2 didn't do in Japan.

I fail to see what your point is. You are saying the sales are poor yet say it sold much better than the ds version. Am i missing something?

I didn't say the sales were poor (they are actually pretty good), I was saying that it was better than NSMB DS so it might sell better throughout the same amount of time unlike NSMB 2 did in Japan.

To be honest the numbers are pretty much where i expected them to be. I thought mayabe at best 250k but that was just me being overly optimistic. If it would have been released nearer xmas then it would have been a different story. I think nintendo have been pretty smart releasing it now, as its going to sell well anyway and boost the new xl model, and then come xmas its going to sell like crazy anyway.
