Wow, just today I had registered a 2 million prediction in the prediction league (I wanted to put 2.3 million but I screwed up), I bet vg$ 600 on it I think.
Thanks a lot for the info, ioi.

America (only first day): 1250K SSBB out of 9730K Wiis = 12.8% Europe first day sales, if they are the same AR as in USA: 919K. Total sales needed throughout the week to beat Halo 3: 800K. So if Europe has the same attachment rate of day 1 as USA had, the game will need to sell 800 combined over both the areas, throughtout of the week. It will do that - but will 12.8% of all Wii owners in Europe buy SSBB on first day? |
There's still a long time for the Wii userbase in Europe to grow until SSBB launches here, which means that less than 12.8% attach rate will be enough.

So apparently sales from previous games in the same series only matter for PS3 and 360 games kthxbye.

how do i check how much I gained/lose after the round ends?
@Tombi
Yes, they only count for X360
No, they don't count for Ps3
X360 is selling a bit better than XB, but not too much to make a big difference.
Ps3 is selling a lot less than both PsX and Ps.
Wii is selling heaps more than N64 and GC.
Wii has an entirely different userbase than it did before.
Ok? Do you comprehend?

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS
nice, I entered my prediction this morning of 1.75 million I think.... hopefully I will be close.
as for Europe release, there is no way it will get to 1 million, Europe isn't the main lover of Smash, I think 600-800k seems about right for Europe (also Europe don't usually rush out as quickly to get it day 1, so it will still have an ok second week)

You can't make blanket statements like that though, it depends entirely on the game.
MP3 for instance hasn't done massively better than MP1 despite the Wiis userbase.... and GT5 will still do really well, because the type of people who play it are fanatics and will happily spend 400+Euros to get it... true it probably won't surpass GT4 (unless the PS3 really takes off casually) but it will still be comparable to it.

What !?
1.25 million first day ... :-|
1.8 -2.0 million first week ... :-|
It's damn huge ...
