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.

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.


Hey now, I'm a Nintendo fan like you are.  I've never said 3D Worlds was a launch title.

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.

I mean from when they both launched. In the timeframe 3D World sold 2.02 million, NSMBU sold 1.8 million.

You should have worded your sentence better than. It made it look like you thought 3D World was a launch title.

Oh! Interesting, I didn't realize that! Ha, I wish 3D World could keep up, but there's just no way. It'll be lucky to see Sunshine level sales, while NSMBU will zoom past that no problem.

You didn't read it carefully.

IThe people have spoken: They want rehashes! It's actually true, sadly.



NintendoPie on 25 May 2014

It seems 6.5 Million is reasonable enough. I could see NSMBU being the second best selling game after Mario Kart 8.



TheLastStarFighter on 25 May 2014

18 million.



BraveNewWorld on 25 May 2014

If it stays bundled then 12 million. It has 4 million right now with 6 million Wii Us sold. I expect Wii U sales to, at least, triple -- so there you go.
