Forums - Sales - What will be the top 10 best selling titles of 2009?

There's no question that NSMBW will be a huge seller but 4-5 million? We don't have a concrete release date but the placeholder is 11/01 which would mean the game would have to sell 4-5 million in two months... that's not really likely.

 

Nintendo predicted it will reach the 10 mil by March 2010. I don't see why it wouldnt reach at least 5 mil by the end of this year.

Great that numonex also wrote something funny in this thread, now it is one of my favourite ones

Great analysis pineapple, I think you have the list quite right. The only thing I disagree is EA Active sales in Japan, because I can't remember a single western game selling lots in Japan (excluding Donkey Kong Country, but this could be looked at as a Nintendo game). So I wouldn't expect it to sell much more than 100k in Japan, which makes it difficult for it to reach the top 10.

@Damkira, New Super Mario Bros. DS sold 3.8 million in its first 8 weeks, according to VGChartz. Aligned launches, that is.

EDIT: and 3.4 million without aligned launch. And that was in may on a console with an 18 million installbase. How huge can it be on a console with a 55 million installbase at christmas?

Holy hell, I never looked back at it like that.

NSMB.Wii is going to be enormous, I knew that anyway, but with those kind of figures to back it up I think it could follow in the path of Mario Kart Wii if not even more so.
