Isn't Europe SSB's weakest region? MKWii is guaranteed to sell more there (LTD)



Bet - "PES 2009 (PS3) will sell (closer to) 150k first week in Japan" - Pooperscopper
"It will sell closer to 125k" - Me I agree.
ME = OWNED :(

End of '09 Predictions:

Wii: 78 million
X360: 35 million
PS3: 27 million

Hey hey, looks like Brawl didn't pass MKWii! 6.01M for MKWii vs 5.97M for Brawl!

Now, will Brawl pass MKWii next week? Let's see

After Europe number only are in, it will be ahead, but that won't mean it was ever ahead. All number will have to be in.

I predict:

This week:

Japan: MK sells 20K more, making it 60K ahead.

Next week:

Japan: MK sells 20K more, making it 80K ahead

America: MK sells 30K more, making it 110K ahead.

Others: Wouldn't it now be very possible that only 200K Brawl copies are sold next week? MKWii should substain around 80-90K, so this isn't impossible.


Realistically though, Brawl should be slight ahead after next week.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

My prediction lives on! Brawl is still 24K behind Mario Kart Wii!

Holy shit! MKWii is still ahead, and outsells it! CRAZY!



Brawl has no chance (even though it is the better game) because Nintendo messed up the online system.

I think it has more to do with the broader appeal of MKWii and the Wii's demographics.

Also, MKWii sell 15 million. I am pretty sure about that.
Brawl Should sell 10 million, however I am banking on solid legs in others. There is nothing wrong with Brawls sales, the game launched to less hype in others and thus the slower launch, I think it will settle around 40-45k there until CMAS, as apposed to 30-35k in NA. So in the 15 weeks or so until the Holiday season hit full gear Brawl will regain about 200k it lost by not hyping out the launch.

WiiFit is a completly different story. No one can really predict with 3 million where it is going to stop. I think 10 million is the minimun though, The craze could wear off and it could settle at around 10-11 million or it could keep on selling all gen and end up 15-20 million, it is just such a wildcard, and nobody really knows the level of Demand. Even in Japan WiiFit sells out at times(thus why it did not show up this week in the sources data)



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

Sadly I agree

 



^i know,i also wanted SSBB to outsell it



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

I wanted Mario Kart Wii to outsell it, but that's mainly because I predicted it. I do prefer Brawl to Mario Kart, but both of them are likely to be massive sellers. Also, for MKWii to be outsold by Brawl, it would have to do far lower than its potential.

Ideally, I wanted it to be like this:

1. Super Mario Galaxy (one of the top 5 games ever, probably even top 3)
2. Super Smash Bros Brawl ( best fighter game ever, among top 10 favourite games)
3. Mario Kart Wii (best racer yet, among top 10 favourite games)
4. Wii Fit (best fitness game yet, among top 25 I think.

But sadly, it looks like it's going to be the exactly other way around.

Look at it.

MKWii > Brawl, permanently.
Brawl,MKWii and Wii Fit will > SMG by 2 months maximum.
Wii Fit will > Brawl by end of the year.
Wii Fit will eventually > MKWii.
