I would have made the same bet. While GTA5 will undoubtedly sell well, NSMBWii has a much larger mass market appeal. It should soundly win.

Here is a NSMB (DS) comparison to GT4


Japan: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Japan&game1=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS&reg2=Japan&game2=Gran+Turismo+4+-+PS2&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=26
(NSMB wins easily)

Americas: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=America&game1=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS&reg2=America&game2=Gran+Turismo+4+-+PS2&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=26
(GT4 wins just... but bare in mind PS2 was incredibly popular back then, wheras DS in America was a slow starter)

Others: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS&reg2=Others&game2=Gran+Turismo+4+-+PS2&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=26
(GT4 wins easily.. but again NSMB launched before DS was up to speed in Others)

Overall: http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=All&game1=New+Super+Mario+Bros+-+DS&reg2=All&game2=Gran+Turismo+4+-+PS2&reg3=All&game3=&weeks=26

NSMB wins, but mainly because GT5 had a more staggered launch.

-----------------------------------------------------------

So I would say first 26 weeks will probably be about this:

Japan:
NSMBW - 1.5 million
GT5 - 800k

America:
NSMBW - 3 million
GT5 - 1 million

Others:
NSMBW - 2.25 million
GT5 - 2.75 million

-----

So GT5 will reign in Others (though I expect NSMB might catch it eventually) but in America and Japan NSMB should easily triumph.

Nice analysis.  I think this thread has its answer.

I don't know wich one will sell the most but it's really easy to know wich game will make the most profit



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Does it really matter? Its obviously a completely unreasonable post.

Look I'm just trying to get a bet going before Wii_Master steal the opportunity.



Kantor on 04 September 2009

That's a good bet, because at this point, we can't tell who will win this.

I'm going to say NSMBWii. By a little bit. Could go either way.

Doesn't mean I won't cheer for GT5, though! *waves flag* (no, I don't even like GT).
