The Wii section should look as follows

Wii Sports
Wii Fit
Wii Play
Mario Kart Wii
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Wii Sports Resort
NSMB Very good chance
(Wii Zelda?) Not likely
(Mario Galaxy?) Good chance
(Mario Galaxy2?) Unknown... so similar chance to SMG1 is all we can say
(DQX?) Lol... nope
(Wii Fit +?) I would say this is almost assured.. more so than NSMBWii

At the very least

 



Yeah, Spore is a million seller already (can't be bothered finding a source, but I remember reading it) but 10 million is not gonna happen

Starcraft 2 might not be a 10 million seller when all is said and done.

@ TWRoO - Just checked sales for them, you're right about DQ, zelda has a chance I think. TP sold about 8 million between Wii and GC versions

GT5 will not get 10 million sales. GT4 couldn't do it on a userbase that's what 6 times bigger?

It did, actually. It's shipped 10.68 million copies worldwide, and I doubt that more than 680,000 copies of a four and a half year old PS2 game are still on store shelves.

(Following numbers are in thousands)

GRAN TURISMO 4 (Europe) 6,280
GRAN TURISMO 4 (North America) 2,970
GRAN TURISMO 4 (Asia) 170
GRAN TURISMO 4 (Japan) 1,260  

6,280 + 2,970 + 170 + 1,260 = 10,680 = 10.68 milllion. VGC has it undertracked.

GT2 is the only full Gran Turismo which has not sold 10 million.

3,680 + 3,960 + 20 + 1710 = 9,370 = 9.37 million, so we are spot on on that one (mainly because we are using shipped data from PD )

GRAN TURISMO 2 (Europe) 3,680
GRAN TURISMO 2 (North America) 3,960
GRAN TURISMO 2 (Asia) 20
GRAN TURISMO 2 (Japan) 1,710

Spore sold 2 millions in it's first few weeks, around same level as the Sims games. It died off a bit, but as long as it keeps selling steady, I'm sure it can reach 10 millions. The expansions will help the sales stay steady.

Shipped doesn't equal sales... GT5 still won't sell 10 million.

Kantor is correct.... the game will have exceeded 10 million, old games like that on VGC take their sales figures form things like shipped numbers, it is just not a priority for ioi to go through the whole database updating all the old games (though GT4 being so high profile it might be an idea to do that one)

It might not have quite reached the full shipment figure, as a small number of games go unsold, or are broken in transit (unlikely) or are sold back to the supplier if they don't sell. GT4 will be as close as you can imagine to the shipment figure though... at maximum there might be 10k/20k still sitting around.



I'm not denying that GT4 hasn't sold 10 million, but it barely made it on a BIG userbase and a popular console. GT5 won't sell 10 million copies unless it's heavily bundled.
