M&S's lifetime sale will be 8-11 million. I see no reason this game cannot double. Also, it would be the ULTIMATE System seller if they launch the Wii in China before the Olympics.

The entire nation of China is incredinbly hyped up about the 2008 Olympics.

 If Sega released a Winter Olympic version, would M&S's sales still double?


 

I do not think there will be a Winter Sports. I can't remember which interview it was, but I do remember either Iwata or Shiggy saying it would be a while before Mario and Sonic were together again. I am hoping it is a platform or a True Mario RPG, where Mario universe is being merge to into some void so M&S team up to save both worlds(or something like that)

Also like I said, Mario and Sonic would sell TONS in China (Maybe a 120% attach ratio.... People would buy it without a Wii.... or J/K on that one)

I see M&S still selling 40-50k a week come october, and then it will get a huge(casual) boost for the Holidays. 8 million by this time next year...

 



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

Well, I said at the time when Sega projected 4m that it was actually a conservative estimate. This game is essentually Wii Sports 2 for a lot of people and it will continue to sell well right up until Nintendo actually makes a Wii Sports 2.

For me it's even much better than Wii Sports.  But that might just be because I am a much bigger fan of athletics than any of the sports in Wii Sports.  Just wish it had online.  400m 8 player online racing would be heavenly.
