Wow, I just read through this thread...

Why is everyone so happy about this? 940k? It's not as if it's breaking any records? Modern Warfare 2 sold 8.03 million in its opening week...? 

Because Mario's LTD will stomp MW2s LTD

So, then why don't you celebrate when the legs of this games are shown?

You don't need to break records to have a good opening week. Particularly Japan, where far too many games have underperformed lately. I'm not certain, but I believe this is the biggest home console launch of this gen in Japan. That really is not something to scoff at.

Yeah, Dragon Quest sold better. But try finding something that doesn't launch better than DQ in Japan. As I said, breaking records isn't needed for a good launch. Or a great launch, for that matter.

Final Fantasy 13 will tear this "record" apart.

I smell one of the following:

1) Someone who was permabanned coming under another guise

OR

2) Someone who already has an account here using another account to troll.

Proof? Very simple: on the one hand they make the "mistake" of comparing MW2 WW debut numbers ON 2 CONSOLES to NSMBWii Japan debut numbers. Could be a newbie mistake, right? Wrong, since they are VERY fast to point out to what the highest selling VG opening in Japan was in 2009.

Reggie said it would outsold Modern Warfare 2 on X360 by January2010.

This numbers are really good but I'm skeptical about this reggie quote.

He said it would outsell one version of Modern Warfare 2 - not the 360 version specifically.  Jeff Keigsley said the 360 version after the bet was already made as an addendum.

I don't think anyone is calling this a "record" except you.

Everyone is happy because the game is selling well based on the Japanese gaming market standard and better than most first week expectation.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

Quit derailing the thread and being an annoyance.  There's no reason for it.

Either S3V3R3D is a troll or he has absolutely no clue about japanese sales.

New Super Mario Bros Wii is colossal.

"Huge" is the wrong word.

Fixed it

Given how S3V3R3D is a completely new account, and is downplaying NSMBWii sales in the exact same manner as Crazzyman/ZorroX, I have reason to believe that it is yet another alt of Crazzyman/ZorroX. I'd be very happy if some mod could check if he has the same IP, I can't seem to get the reporting function to work quite right.

What about Halo? It sold 2.8 million and was on one console, and it was in 2007.
