Sales of New Super Mario Bros. Wii will “shock”
BY Rain Anderson Oct. 25th, 2009 More on:Michael PachterNew Super Mario Bros. Wii

In his second sales prediction of the day, the first one being about Modern Warfare 2, industry crystal ball Michael Pachter reckons the sales of Nintendo’s upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii will “shock.”

“This game defines the NintenDad, it defines him,” the Wedbush analyst said on Bonus Round. “So yeah the bored housewife bought WiiFit to get in shape and do yoga [but] this is the first game that I’ve seen on any Nintendo system that’s complete throwback that I can play with my kids. As a NintenDad, I’m psyched to play this game.”

Pachter notes that the attach rate doesn’t need to be big at all considering there are 60 million Wiis out there and, while not dishing out an exact number, predicts, “It’s gonna shock you how many units that thing sells.”

Oh my. What an insight. My feeble little brain could not have come up with the idea that NSMBWii will sell amazingly.

This is all coming from gametrailers bonus round. I really don't see what's so shocking seeing a Mario 2D game sell like crazy during the holidays. It's expected.

What a prediction! The man is an absolute genius.

My expectations are very high, for me to be shocked, it'd have to be Wii Fit levels of sales.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

"Not as big as MW2!"

So, his expectations would probably "SHOCK" (in a "bad" way).

Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

I'd be disappointed if this game sold less than 15 million.
