It's just the nature of things that we tend to see things starting out more quickly. Won't really be a meaningful comparison till at least a year in.

I agree, but it's a good sign at least. I think we're now past the phase of "will it be another Wii U?" at least.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Is this only in the US? Or just Gamestop?

Happy Nintendo is having such success.
Competition is a good thing, so it's nice that they have a healthy and rapidly growing platform.

Now we just need Microsoft to pick up it's game.

And that's releasing on March instead of Nov/Dec like Wii

This holidays can be something spectacular.

I hope they solve supply issues by then, because it can be some of the best holidays ever. I'm curious to see how much Odyssey sells... I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks 3D Mario's records.

I'm sure Gamestop is happy that it is a hit and hopefully continues the momentum. I believe Gamestop stock was starting to tank but they have some saving grace with a hot system just released.
