Anyway, you can have your own opinions, guys. If you think these sales are "awesome", then fine. I think they're PRETTY good. But there are better. Modern Warfare 2 generated $550 million at retail in 5 days. That's awesome, if you ask me.

The problem is that you're completely ignoring the issue. You're comparing a game which will sell over time with games that are extremely frontloaded, and you're comparing it to american sales which are a lot bigger than japanese sales are and always have been. I'm not completely certain, but even counting handhelds I think the only game to have an opening higher than this in Japan is Dragon Quest IX.

Wow, Mario got beaten by the latest main installment of Japan's most popular franchise. Opinions are fine, but the fact of the matter here is that you're just plain wrong.

Well, watch out for Final Fantasy 13 in a couple of days. Released on a console that has sold a lot less than Wii, it will break NSMB's record.

Ok, he's banned already after ignoring my warning. Please end that discussion here

Torillian already warned this person... why isn't he banned yet? He's clearly asking for it by derailing the thread the way he is.

He's obviously someone who created the account just to troll - nevermind his first two decoy posts. EDIT: Thanks, zexen.

So anyway that first week was pretty awesome

I am now entertaining the idea that it could go on to break five million in Japan, like its elder brother did

Just a minute late, my friend.

 

Zexen, do some ip research and cross check with crazzyman.

Anyways, awesome sales for NSMBWii. I didn't know where it would've landed for the whole week. Glad it beat the DS game!
