Just 3 (standalone and CC Pro bundles).  No system bundle though.

Thats good, and according to the preview, preorders are most likely abt 80k by now minimum. I'm interested in seeing how this sells cuz ToG seems like its gonna outsell this by alot(at least first week sales).



Daily update 1/12 with one day left of tracking:

NSMBW: 978pt (+94)
NSMB: 609pt (+68)

Much bigger increase today and it will cross the 1000 mark tomorrow in the last day =)

Fun fact: New Super Mario Bros Wii grows more than the entire top 10 put together!



Fun fact indeed haha

ToG tracking well, and my bet is that its gna have a 200-250k opening week. Not bad at all... SW3 seems to be heading towards 140k'sh first week unless more people buy the game if NSMB drives hardware. I could see that happening



Never underestimate Mario's power. He's a real legend for moving tons of hardware and softwares. I wonder how much this 25 years-old franchise have earned since 1984.



I think Sengoku Musou 3's really being held back by the platform to be honest. Looking at Monster Hunter G/3, I sort of think Koei should've taken a similar approach and quick-ported Sengoku Musou 1-2 to Wii (bundled together, like Musou Orochi 1-2/Z on PS3) six months ago to start building an audience. As is, I think the majority of Musou fans will probably just sit it out and wait for the inevitable 360/PS3/PS2/PSP ports. :/

On the other hand, it may attract enough Musou fans to Wii to start ensuring the platform starts getting ports of future titles too (ie: Hokuto no Ken Musou, Gundam Musou 3, Shin Sangoku Musou 7, Musou Orochi 3, Shin Sangoku Musou Multi-Raid 2, etc).  Really, this is something Koei should've started doing YEARS ago, but better late than never I guess...
