As for those who are not impressed, do you know how many PS3 titles have sold more than 420k LIFETIME in Japan?

Five.

@Dazkarieh - i won`t call you names, but where did i compare first week numbers with LTD sales?
Anyway, your post was absolutely stupid.

For a game, which is going to rival FFXIII in Japan, those first day sales don`t look impressive to me. Nuff said.

I won't call you names as well. I'll make a drawing:

 

Ohhh, and no... New Super Mario Bros. Wii is not going to rival FFXIII in Japan. It'll easily sell much more!

This post is so full of win that it is beyond words!

I'm not sure I understand how that list of links rebutts the 2/3 claim. OK, so we can see what each game sold on opening week in Japan, but does that give us the opening day sales for each game too so we can make the easy calculations to see what the actual opening day:opening week ratio is? If it does I can't see it. Can you point it out for my old fart eyes?

I have no idea if the 2/3 claim is correct or not, but rebuttals need to give relevant facts.

does it really make any difference if it sells more today or in tomorrow or next week or next month?  FF13 will sell more first day and first week, but do you really want to say that NSMBwii isn't gonna pass or at least be very close to ff13 sales?

It's not going to rival FFXIII. It's going to obliterate FFXIII =/

First week sales will most likely go to FF, but after that its probably going to be all Mario.

FFXIII will surpass, not just might.

Also, considering, that NSMB was going to save Wii in Japan, those first day numbers just don`t look impressive to me.

Did you know that NSMB for the DS opened with 480k first day? Care to guess the first week? Hint: it is more than 1.5 times the first day. It is, infact, close to doubled the first day sales. I can understand where you might not have seen thesource post. I mean it was just a few right before yours in this very thread. Wait, that wouldn't be hard to miss at all!

depends highly on the game, some will sell 5x first week they sell first day, some will only sell 25% more.  Our best guess is gonna be by looking at past figures of similar games.  You should start by looking at NSMB DS, that will be the most relevent.  That sold a little under 2x, actually since first day figures are so close they should have really similar first weeks.  800-900k looks highly likely.

This post is full of fail, he wasn't talking about FW to LT ratio, but about first day to first week.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

ROFl, I find the comments funny, NSMB DS did only 2K better first day sales, lol, NSMB Wii is off to a great start
