Greetings Everyone

I am a Nintendo executive and would like to thank Rolstoppable for his excellent analysis.

Everyone in this thread is now going to be given the opportunity to beta test our upcoming game

Wii Super

In which you make shrewd financial decisions to build up a superannuation account to allow for an early retirement. We expect this game to sell more than the population of the Earth.

Adding in Fit and sports would rocket the game to unbelievable heights New Super Fit Sports Mario Wii would sell the most of all

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

My suggestion for the title of the next game

Super Fitness Mario Bros Wii version

Statistically that title could sell +50 million copies total Super + Mario + Bros + Fitness + Wii = ??? = Profit

I don't know, Rol. 20 million?

Someone might necro this thread a year and a half from now to show you how foolish you were.

To rub it in that the game stands already at 30m?

I will do it.

Yes.

I think you are overestimating the sales potential of the word Wii. I mean, if this word alone makes up for higher sales than in combination with super and mario, how does Wii Music fit in?
