That such a thing exists. Well, I shouldn't complain, my country (germany) is big in purchasing yearly releases of farming simulator...

Um, that's kinda bad for Smash Bros. Wii U. It opened less than Mario Kart 8, and I personally expected it to open higher than MK8. Looks like Mario Kart 8 wins for FW. Hardware is also below my expectations of 30K. Smash Bros. 3DS will probably remain the better money maker than the Wii U one everywhere. Hopefully the holidays will help it out, but I don't expect something like 700K anytime soon, if ever.

Samurai Warriors is pretty horrific too, Phantasy Star Nova is a bomb (huge drop), CoD dubbed doing worse than the subbed version, and Captain Toad is showing some legs! Crazy week!

Smash is rather.... underwhelming...

People didnt believe it but 3DS version really killed Wii U version effect

Unfortunately thats the bad news.... Good News however is 2.25mil+ copies sold for SSB in japan :p

Edit: TBF, though im not saying sales were expected obviously, but its a wiiu game so maybe it'll just look bad in the beginning and leg out pretty nicely? SM3DW is an example, it started out 99k-100k FW and look where its at now :0

:D

Let's see during holidays how good/bad performs.

I think there's a new tax in Japan which has made money more scares than usual.

If Captain Toad of all things is legging out like crazy, I think I'll wait and see how Smash Bros does in the coming weeks.

I'm not convinced Smash Wii U is going to have appreciable legs.

Smash did absolutely nothing to help the Wii U. That's just pathetic.
