Forums - Sales - Wii: 7 million-sellers (err... shippers)

According to this site's WW million shipment list, Super Paper Mario, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel are the 5th, 6th, and 7th Wii games to ship 1 million copies around the world. Actual sell-through is probably only a month behind for Paper Mario, several more months for Rayman (though it will almost certainly hit the mark this Fall, with a reduced price and a sequel renewing interest), and for Red Steel until next year maybe.

Big Brain Academy, Mario Party 8, Mario Strikers, Metroid Prime 3 and Pokemon Battle Revolution are all probable million-sellers coming out before Fall. The more interesting 3rd party games to watch include Tiger Woods 08, Madden 08, Sonic and the Secret Rings, and Guitar Hero 3.

 

In comparison, PS3 still only has 1 game to ship 1 million copies, and 360 has 16, with the newest being Guitar Hero II.

"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Within three weeks or so, the 360 should be adding Forza to that list. It won't take long for that game to ship 1m copies, they might even ship that many initially.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

A mediocre game like Red Steel sold a mill, wii owners must be starved for games.



Red Steel was heavily advertised and apparently pretty popular in Europe.



Around the Network

Not to mention, it was a sword/gun game, utilizing motion controls. Mediocre as it may be, its a new take on an existing genre.

Exactly.

 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Shipping a million is very different from selling it, Forza 2 might reach a million but it will take a while, I predict 250,00-400,000 range max first month for it.

 that or red steel is acutally a good game and only threatened fanboys don't like it



I HAVE A DOUBLE DRAGON CAB IN MY KITCHEN!!!!!!

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IMO, I doubt Red Steel or Rayman will get to the club very quickly. Both games bombed in Japan, and European numbers would have to mirror US numbers to obtain the 1m mark. SPM? Im sure it's already shipped 1m, and might end up with 2m w/w. Forza 2 has probably already shipped 1m. It's hopefully gonna be huge. F1 was actually out-sold in Europe vs. US, and I hope for the love of the game, that the US version sells atleast 1m copies (with no real US competition, it should).



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
