Looks like its a smaller game than i thought, if thats the case, but i don't think it isn't reasonable for it to get over 1 mil, with the Japan bundle and the fact quite a lot of people are hyped for it.

The Japan bundle might sells something like 50k. The game is expected to do similar or worse numbers than the original Xenoblade did on Wii, 120K-160K, won't be too much.

Also, and more importantly, don't confuse internet hype to real life hype.

If the excitement of the internet translated to sales then Bayonetta and Persona would be multi million sellers, alas, they're not.




Zelda - 2.2 million
Xenoblade - 750k
Splatoon - 900k
Mario Party 10 - 1 million
Yoshi - 900k
Devil's Third - 220k
Star Fox - 750k
Mario Maker - 1.2 million+


May be a little generous for Splatoon, but I assume Nintendo will market it at least.

Ok, thanks for telling me, so i won't look like an idiot in the future.

But I do hope that XCX at least gets decent sales though, by the looks of how its shaping up, it looks like a great game.

Paper Mario??? :)

Yes, if XBX were to sell more than 2m copies it'll sell more than the best selling Paper Mario on a home console.

Super Paper Mario doesn't count.


TTYD was a 2mil+ seller! (i think)

From what I have it only did 1.6m

Chartz says 2m+ but I'm not too sure.



The maximum for most games that are listed will probably be at the 1M mark.
Devil's Third will do the worst of them all

They all did over 2M except the first one.

I doubt that, especially Zelda since it is most likely going to be released in the Christmas holidays, and just for reference Majora's Mask 3D, which not only is a remake but was not released on any sort of holiday sold 300,000 in its first week, so i think Zelda has a chance to break the 1m mark.

That was only in US. Likely sold around 900k WW. Zelda will surely sell 1m FW. Platina is correct, however. Most games on that list will sell a maximum of 1m this year. I only see the Mario games, Zelda and possibly Xenoblade having a substantial chance of surpassing it.
