There you go, Halo 3 sold 2.5 million in 24 hours in the United States, and that was in September 2007 (when Xbox 360's install base was 6 million? in the U.S.).
These figures make NSMB's look weak, IMO. 
^You know we are talking about Japan right?

Listen, by this point it should be obvious that the metric being used here is different from the metric being used for front-loaded JRPGs FPSes. The point of this is that a 2-D Mario Platformer had a staggering launch in Japan, especially given the degree of legs that these games traditionally have in the region.
No one cares if it didn't sell as much as Modern Warfare 2 (nice pick there, you had to choose the one game that makes Halo 3 look reasonable in terms of standards), no one cares if it didn't sell as much first-week as DQIX, no one cares if FFXIII will beat its first-week numbers, no one cares if Halo's launch was bigger. This is about Mario. It's being compared to New Super Mairo Brothers on the DS because that's the most direct parallel that can be drawn this gen, and that particular game outsold any other property mentioned so far in Japan.
New Super Mario Bros Wii is colossal.

^^^ Stop it, ZorroX, Crazzyman or whatever your name is

Are you for real? (personally I think you aren't, I think you are someone's alter ego...) This is a US debut you are comparing to a Japan debut.

OK, but could you explain why this game's attach rate isn't close to Halo's, for instance? Nearly 50 % of the Xbox 360 owners back in 2007 picked it up within 24 hours of availability in the U.S.? If this game's colossal, shouldn't it do something similar?
And for the haters: what's wrong with discussiong the sales? Do you need to post love comments about the sales, no matter what? This is a free site. What I think is bad sales maybe is good sales to you. Respect my opinion, haters.
I don't think it did monstruous, but ZorroX is overreactioning
| Majin-Tenshinhan said: 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. |
I second this.
