Forums - Gaming - Mario 3d World 570k LTD December NPD

     It outsold every PS4 and Xbox One exclusive in America..  Not bad for a doomed game for a doomed console..

Those are actually pretty good numbers. Adding to europe and Japan the game should be nearing 1 mil already.
Since Mario games keep selling throughout the system's life, its gonna do well.

Comparing this to the Galaxy games isn't very pretty.

Galaxy 1 after December in the US - 2.16m
Galaxy 2 after 7 weeks (launched in May) in the US - 1.44m

 

3D Land after its first holiday in the US - 2.02m


Yikes !

The WiiU-effect™

Those are good numbers right? Wii U has an install base of 5.5 million, while Wii had about 90 million when Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released.



Good tracking, but more on the over side which is weird since the hardware was undertracked.

Won't be a financial flop in the long run but don't forget that Nintendo underestimated HD development, so it should be their most expensive game so far and the most advertised one as well. I'm certain that they didn't make any profit so far.

I'm still going to call it a relative flop, just like GT6 or Gears of War Judgement. No bias here.

Wii had a MUCH larger install base when either Galaxy game released than Wii U so it would be pretty odd if the comparison had been in 3DWorlds favor...

 

But nice try though.



Great game, glad to see one Wii U bright spot, even if it didn't move systems as much as Nintendo hoped.

Now bring on DKR and Mario Kart 8.

Yeah...

How much do you expect 3D World to sell lifetime then? Same ratio vs. Galaxy as WiiU vs. Wii?


It depends on the succes of the Wii U. Right now I would say between 4-5 million lifetime.

That's pretty solid numbers, considering...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
