Crash team racing didnt release? I think that ps4 was able to sell 20k was because of crash

Lower than expected for MM2. Jikkyou actually did decent on the Switch. We gotta see how MM2 holds up now

Nice start for SMM2, anybody remember how much NSMBUD sold on its first week? I'm interested in comparing how popular the Maker series is compared to the regular 2D Mario games.

PS4 is holding well considering it's not discounted anymore (right?).

NSMBU Deluxe sold 185k units first week, according to Famitsu. It's a port of an old game though.

According to a mix of Media Create and Famitsu as sources:

NSMB (DS) - 899k
NSMB Wii - 936k
NSMB2 - 430k
NSMBU - 160k

The staleness of NSMB2 certainly took a toll on sales. NSMBU was a Wii U launch title, so naturally capped by sales of the console (Wii U debuted to sales of a good 300k units, so that would have been the maximum NSMBU could have achieved with a 100% attach rate). Although staleness was a factor too.

While the decline was possible, it didn't help that NSMB2 and NSMBU were released so close together.

NSMB2 released in July/August 2012

NSMBU released in November/December 2012

Unfortunately, NSMBU was a launch title for the Wii U so it had to release alongside the console. Thus, the series is in this particular predicament.



Mario brings the Pacman back

It is still 5000 yen off on amazon and may also still be discounted at other retailers

So, still discounted, even if not everywhere. I was wondering if Jikkyu would really be able for such a boost on it's own, guess it doesn't.



PS4: 11,422
PS4 Pro: 7,351
Total:18,773

Not 21,486

Yeah, that's quite the difference. Did they lower the numbers or what happened?

Uh... it looks like the OP combined the sales of PS4, PS4 Pro, and... 3DS.

11,422 + 7,351 = 18,773

11,422 + 7,351 + 2,713 = 21,486



First week/LT Japanese sales for the other two versions of Super Mario Maker:

3DS Super Mario Maker (FW) 160.016 (LT) 1.184.885
WIU Super Mario Maker (FW) 143.514 (LT) 1.076.843

Super Mario Maker 2 should hit around 1.5 million in Japan - and depending on digital plus the inevitable Mini model of the Switch, could make it to the 2 million mark. My assumption is the Mini model plus price cut will open up much more of Japan's portable market to the Switch and existing, big-name titles like SMM2 will benefit.

Indeed, will try to update the op. Thanks for noticing
