jokes aside, first day =/= first week. and does this retailer include download charts in the numbers or is it just physical copies? there's also the people buying digital without download cards.

Have no idea what the shipment numbers are, but with those first day sales, shipments might be high. Wouldn`t make sense to see Mario 3D World doing worse than a MH3 port or Pikmin 3.

And until we get another Quarter Report we won't know for sure.

The rate at which it climbs on the eShop charts may be a sign, but that isn't that end of all means to track how well a game is doing digitally.

Yeah I know lol but honestly those first-day sell-through numbers have not proven to be all that accurate in the past anyway.

It's so beautiful.

and isn't this the same retailer that said wii party U sold 20% first day? but media create/famitsu said the first 4 days sold around 40%.

mario shippments tend to be huge. thanks to it's demon legs, retailers are not afraid of overbuying it.

Exactly.

;)

Waiting on "Ultimate Wardrobe Edition" to spare my wallet form all that DLC. :P
