I'm predicting 800k first week sales Others and Japan combined.



Around the Network

the UK ranges from between 15-20% of total others markets, but you cannot neccarily extrapolate UK sales by multiplying by 5...

If the UK is 200k, 650-800k for all of other is very possible... if the situation is the same elsewhere(I doupt it in Sony countries) Mk Wii would be 900-1000k



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

~200K on others
and 490K on japan

700K for the first week without NA !!
very good
it can hit 1m only on the first week .. easily(with NA)

good for Ninty

So you are saying the entire rest of others will sell only 100k ? (500k for Japan, 200k for UK, 100k?)?Remember racing is big in UK, but bigger in France and Germany....

A bare minimum in Others is 400k in others this week, and that is assuming that UK accounted for 50% of MK sales...

It’s also bigger than the launch weeks of all 5 other Mario Wii games combined (Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers, Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario).

is it right ?!!!!!

No, 200k is just for the UK, not all of others.



Ok, I know I said UK makes up about 20% of Total others gaming market, but that is total, Nintendo is proportionally bigger their than they are in most other places.

About 30% of the Wii's others HW base come from UK. So 550-600k is a better estimate for all of others this week for MK. That puts it between

1.0-1.15m for this week WW.

Again, racing is bigger in france and Germany, and those countries cobined make up about 35-40%, so it will be interesting to see what the number is later today.

I might be a little on the conservative side, but Mario Kart didn't launch in Italy, Scandiavia, and most of the other countries that make Others. It only released in UK, Germany, Spain, Benelux and maybe an other county or two.

I don't believe it will sell 1 million in Others + Japan first week.



well for france, amazon has MKWii #1 on chart and sold out (i noticed this morning while preordering wii fit... for the lady of course) (prologue isn't even in the top 20... it does include preorders though... Wii fit in #2 :p)



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I predict 1.1 million Others + Japan this week.
