as u said. games with incredible legs and great baselaselines dont have that big hoiliday and new version boosts.

 

the game is at ~ 30m so far

 

lets say it will do ~15m a year for the next 3 years(including a huge holiday and next gen boosts, without a slowdown for last gen )

the game would be at 75m units

so still 7m behind wii sports

 

if it will do 13m each year for the next 4 years (still a huge number, i would doubt fore sure, because last gen sales will slow down and be near zero after holiday 2016, or even earlier) it only would reach wii sports

 

 

this game wont do over 10m units each year for the next 5 years on consoles only. no way. just no

the only way to surpass wii sports is, if this game will still be a big thing in 8 years. it has to become tetris

8 years?! The hell. It will sell close to 20m this year alone, and should be able to sell about the same next year or more (PS4+XOne versions). At that point it will be easy.

How much has it sold PC alone?

16.7m

14k in the past 24 hours or ~100k per week. It might even reach 20m on PC alone this year. Mindblowing, really.

This game is a great game, but the man behind it is an arrogant a-hole.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

I never said that games with a high baselinecand good legs didn't get a holiday boost, I only said I hadn't taken it in account, because I have no idea how large it will be. The 200k baseline per week, doesn't even take in account digital sales on consoles, and since it's always on top on PSN and XBL, that could be a possible 100k extra per week. + boost from next gen, so another 50k per week. That leaves us at 350k per week = 18,2 million, plus another 2 million for christmas boost. So it could do 20 million this year on PC and consoles alone.

But what happens when Nintendo puts Wii sports out digitally as well? What about Mario? Digitally and physically....how many sales?

Anyways, Minecraft is a beast. We have two copies in my house, I have not played it yet myself, but my kids love it!


there are no digital sales for wii sports, every wii already had it so who would buy it digital, even for mario kart the digital sales are probably really low since almost nobody bought anything digital on the wii
