Mario Kart should be between 125-200k

Kamil, according to your list MK is a minimum of 175k, FiFa 08 WAS 8th and sold 174k. Than means MK Wii is higher than 174k. But no higher than 236(PES 6 max is 236 k.

So the true number is 175-230k or so. Very Very Nice.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

@bigjon: Yeah, I thought MK was 9th not 8th. So 174k-236k. Let's say around 200k.



Insane numbers for MKwii

also pro evo still doing excellent!

WiiPlay climbed up a spot even on a big week, expect Wii hardware to be around 140-150k in others. On the back of MK wii of course, but I think it will maintain high HW with the monster known as WiiFit coming shortly here after. I am also VERY happy to see ProEvo not dropping after week 2 (the test for legs in others is week 3, not week 2 like NA and Japan)

I expect ProEvo Wii to be in the Top 20 in the UK for a rather long time.

Edit- I would also like to note that Sega Superstars Tennis is developing very nice legs for the Wii, and house of Dead is doing better than expected. Sega is really on a roll on the Wii. They should just become a 2nd party and quit wasting dev cost on all other consoles. lol, j/k... but really they own on the Wii.

well to get to do Mario&Sonic then give Sonic to brawl, they must have a pretty good agreement with Nintendo already!



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I wonder if Brawl will see extra sales in Europe because Sonic is in it?
