When was the last time a game didn't open with 2 or 3 days of sales?

No More Heroes
Japan - 11,703
America - 35,375
Euro - 25,653
Total - 72,731 (390k total sales)

MadWorld
Japan - Not yet released
America - 57,553
Euro - Not yet released

Already off to a better start.

...Good point. :O

Yeah much better start. I think that madworld will sell a million units. HOTD overkill would be a better game to compare it to, but so far its blowing that out of the water too. Will it be big in others? Don't most sega games do really strong in others? Maybe another 40-50k first week? That would be sweet.

I think madworld should leave other third parties with a good impression of how well hardcore games can sell on wii.

No More Heroes was game of the month, it struck a cord due to it's humble presentation that seemed to pay tribute to all games that were of the 8 and 16 bit era, while being clearly a game of now. But hidden in it's suddle ripples were a classic beat em up.

almost 60k in its first few days in america, thats a good result so hopefully this game will have legs.

However I'm not totally convinced that this will sell a million - it now depends on the performance from others. However I do think by the end of the year it'll reach 800k.

but it will definantly sell twice as much as NMH
