Forums - Sales - What's up with Mario Kart Wii sales?

Also on the topic of >30m, we always have to remember holiday sales. If first-quarter sales were >1m, then fourth-quarter sales will easily top 2m and probably even 3m or 4m.

Actually, Nordlead's 5 million already accounts for that. In 2009, Mario Kart Wii opened with 1.7 million in the first quarter. This year, it's seeing 1.0 million.

In 09, the total was 7.7 million. If the ratio remains the same throughout the year (0.59:1) that would lead to 4.5 million. But, as the dropoff is likely to be slightly smaller this year, around 5 million seems likely.

 

Nordlead, you have quite a good point with the 30 million DSs going together with MKDS. Still, I feel that a 5 > 2.5 > 1.5 > 0.5 million cycle is far more likely than a 5 > 2.5 > 0.75 million cycle. Still, we're talking about a mere million here, and it's hugely dependant on when the next machine releases (as you already said).



Well, after nordlead explanation, I'm convinced it won't reach 30 millions now... what a failure!

even pokemon did it, shame on you Mario Kart!
