Forums - Nintendo - MK, SSBB, or Wii Fit? Who will top 2008?

I don't understand some of your predictions. Wii Fit did over 2 million in Japan in less than 6 months. How is it possible that Wii Fit will do less than 3 million in NA by the end of the year. I say over 12 million in NA by years end. And close to 20 million worldwide.

Want: Wii Fit = Mario Kart = Super Smash
Most Likely:
1. Wii Fit (assuming there's no supply issues)
2. Mario Kart (Wii Wheel will sell 1 million for the game alone)
3. Super Smash (Great game, but sales are appearing to slow a bit)



Wii Fits success is also dependant upon the Wii's availabilty as well. If people can't find a Wii, they won't get Wii Fit.



 

 

Wii Fit might be a rare item in stores just like the Wii. You know what, I think Wii Fit should be a bundle or even included inside every Wii box just like Wii Sports. That should considered later with Nintendo.

@MontanaHatchet, hey this isnt about the best seller this year, its about Nintendo's best seller, thats why it is on the Nintendo forum.

Anyways:
Wii Fit
Brawl
Mario Kart

Wii Fit will sell really closely to Brawl this year, cause it will have less time to sell in America, but a bit more in Europe. While Japan had already bought a lot of those Wii Fits last year, so you gotta discount that.
Brawl on the othwer hand will have the biggest opening week for a Nintendo game, probably 3 mln+, that and the insane legs.

Overall Wii Fit will still win, but not by a lot. Next year, well, Wii Fit might outsell Brawl 4:1 if not by more.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

I accessed this from hot topics, so I didn't realize that. He should of specified.



 

 

i think brawl will win for this year. if we are talking only 2008 sales ya gotta take out wiifit's first month in japan which hurts it by probably close to a million. brawl is the biggest launch but it is gonna have the worst legs (although still good legs, outside of japan that is). while mario kart will have good legs and wiifit will have insane legs. i expect wiifit and MK to both pass brawl next year but brawl already has over 5 million and has a huge european launch yet to happen. for 2008 sales alone i say:
1. brawl - 10 million
2. MK - 8.5 million
3. wiifit - 8 million (would be in front of MK if you count 2007 japan sales)



end of '08 predictions: wii - 43 million,  360 - 25 million, ps3 - 20 million

 

Games I've beat recently: Super Mario Galaxy, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadow of the Collossus

1. SSBB
2. MK
3. Wii Fit



If word of mouth is worth anything, I'd say:

1. Wii Fit
2. MK
3. SSBB

Wii Fit has the broader audience which is why I place it first. I feel that Mario Kart Wii is more unique than Brawl was to its predecessors and also blows it away in terms of execution of multiplayer (online in particular).



1- Wii Fit
2- MK
3- SSBB



Work in progress for now...
