No, around 2.1M @ 3.7M consoles. Crazy good attach rate.

5 million lifetime.

I don't see how you could think that. Wii U has another 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years of life. It could easily sell another 1 million more copies in that timeframe.


Mostly nobody today that buys a Wii U will buy Deus Ex: HRDC or ZombiU unless it's in the bargain ben.  More likely buy Super Mario 3D Worlds then Super Mario Bros U.  That also was a launch title.

Digital sales included? 10 million easily. Without digital, probably only 8 million, but maybe more. The game has over a 64% attach rate in physical alone, for crying out loud. If Wii U sells 15 million lifetime, which it should at a minimum, and the attach rate shrinks to 50% physical, that's still 7.5 million physical. Add in the digital that's already sold and you're well over 8 mil, add the digital from the MK8 deal and you're probably over 9, add in the rest of the digital sales from here on out and that should put it over 10. If the Wii U grows a lot and sells 20 million, NSMBU should be able to get 10 million from physical alone.

Dude, are you kidding? It's still the best selling Wii U title weekly!

3D World is outpacing NSMBU right now, but NSMBU is closing the gap and 3D World might not get bundled due to Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. NSMBU is also selling better than any Wii U game currently.

BTW, 3D World wasn't a launch title.

Yes it did! It sold 21,135!  3D World only had about 16k! NSMBU is still the top seller!

30 million, if the Nintendo fans telling me the DS and Wii games didn't sell through mass bundling but through demand are to be believed.


Didn't the game sell around 3.5mil before bundling, wats your excuse now?

Excuse for what?  I've not made a statement that needs defending or justifying.  Are you being defensive for no reason?

Lets all of us keep it friendly folks!

3D World isn't outpacing NSMBU. NSMBU is the top selling game on Wii U in every region, both in total sales (beating 3DW by about 2 million WW), and in weekly sales (last week was NSMBU 21k to 3DW 16k). The gap is only widening.

Edit: Oops, apparently you already knew the weekly. But NSMBU is definitely the one widening the gap now.
