I hope Paper Mario will hit 500k at the very least. I'll be very please if it rides the holiday wave and hit 750k or even (dare I dream) 1mil.


Man, you will be disappointed.

You don't think it'll do at least 500k?  The only way I'll be disappointed is if it does LESS than that!

While 500k is possible, I don't think it will do it.

First because only Super Paper Mario managed that number before (and by a hair, as it did 505k).

Second because this game is not getting any buzz! The only redeeming thing about this game's sales is that it's being released on the holidays, a first for Paper Mario in Japan.

Liking the PS3/360 gap. Something NA can more then compensate for.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Hmmmm... reasonable analysis.  But I think it may surprise some folks!

You mentioned Best Price re-releases for the PS3, but the 3DS also had one. Rhythm Theif R (Sega the Best) version also came out on 11/22!

Boxart on the official page.

I'm thinking about picking it up now at this new lower price.

I wouldn't advise it. That game really let me down. =^/

Really? I want to expand my 3DS library and was really considering it.

I'd be disappointed if Paper Mario sells more than 200k.

Why, Boutros?  You don't like Sticker Star?

3DS:

The one of its kind PS3/3DS game. Looks incredible imo, but sadly, I think it'll flop. Prediction: 38k, maybe less

PS3:

Same as 3DS, but a little better: 48k

Azalyn's blog doesn't agree. Amazon.jp either.

Still, you're right about it'll flop.

Even worse than 38/48k?

Yikes... I kinda based on Medarot 7. It didn't featured in amazon.jp, comg and has made an appearance in Nintendo Direct a couple times.

Managed 49k. Minus 10k for brand name and there you go.
