@Rol: good point. Changing prediction to 12/25/08

@Konni: I still think it won't take that long.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I don't have a Wii, and so have yet to play SMG, but honestly these sales don't surprise me at all. I'm not trying to diminish the game in any way, but nintendo could release a Mario game that sucks worse than 12 year olds at trash talking and it would still sell. Gears was a new IP so of course it wouldn't sell as well as the longest running franchise in console history.

SMG deserves it, dam fine game.

Well, it is clearly one of the best legged games.

TP, SMG and Mp8 are all the first on the Wii in some of Nintendo's best selling franchises. They launched at about the same time of the year. (well, Mp8 a little earlier) http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=Mario+Party+8+-+Wii&reg2=All&game2=Super+Mario+Galaxy+-+Wii&reg3=All&game3=The+Legend+of+Zelda%3A+Twilight+Princess+-+Wii&weeks=40


Same goes for Mario and Sonic at the olympic games. Everyone agrees this game has great legs, but can it stand up to Mario? No way!

Call of Duty and Gears of war? Gears does not stand a change, but CoD4 actually helt up for a long time, but dipped a tiny bit earlier.

Another sad day in gaming when a lackluster platformer can pass 5mil in sales, the game is not great, its just average, kinda like halo3. I'm pretty sure this game will go on to sell until the wii dies, you buy a wii and this is the game you buy. You don't buy a wii for anything other then first party games, and it shows with all their systems.

I expect sales to be upwards of Mario 3, since this is the only proper mario game since Mario64, sunshine just sucked according to Nintendo fans, so i don't count it.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Is that a rhetorical question, a "heads I win, tails you lose" kind of thing or an argumentum ad hominem?

Passive-agressive rhetorical.

 It could use some polishing but it seems to work.
