nice to see MK8 up there. I say TLoU 2.5 mil. lifetime maybe even less.

And TLOU : R should not exist just yet - my point of view. It's sales are good but not amazing.

So you'd deny those 600k+ the chance just because you don't like the practice?

MK8 is huge. I don't think it'll reach a 50% tie ratio but it'll get close at least in the short term. As time goes by and MK8 sales drop away, as in next year, the tie ratio will fall of course; although if WiiU doesn't improve much in sales MK8 could potentially sell at 40+% of Wii U weekly sales for the entire generation. I can see MK8 selling 20-30k per week at a minimum for the life of Wii U.


I don't think you understand the concept of Mario Kart Legs.

So you're expecting 70K plus weekly sales throughout 2015? I don't think so.

You never know. As games start to come out, more systems start to sell, more systems means more Mario Karts. I don't know if it will be 70K+ each week, it will drop below that this year, but the holiday should bring it back up again. I'd say it's baseline in 2015 is 50k maybe dropping down to 40k sometime.

One wonders what constitutes "amazing" for a remaster of a 1 year old game. Do we have some historical benchmarks to compare it to? Most recent example, though with much more than a 1 year gap is LoZ wind waker which launched with 275k sales. If TLOUR is merely good does that make WW remake week 1 poor, bad or terrible?

Animal Crossing 3DS is a few months from 7 million as well! Doubt it will push out 10 million in the end though.

Yeah I don't remember another remaster/remake selling this well tbh. The God of War Collection didn't even start out that hot.

Well you know that the only game that being remastered could outdo TLOUR is GTAV, but since TLOU sold 7M (1st week double of TLOUR) and GTAV 25M there is a big chance that the size of the franchise make it sell more or the fact that it already sold a lot multiplat then it won't reach... But it id the only with a chance.

Did i hear "Remakes"? :P   Pokemon Remakes FTW, FF remakes sell pretty good too, LoZ OoT 3D sold 3mil+ and SM64 DS sold 10mil+

WW HD had alot of digital sales so its hard to pinpoint FW (digital came out earlier than retail) LoZ WW HD also should easily be over 1.5mil by now.

 

Also these will sell 7mil-9mil lifetime
