New Super Mario Bros. Wii has sold 1.9m in 3 weeks but is what is known as a long-term seller. It should hit 4m with ease and could top out at over 5m.

Final Fantasy XIII has sold 1.5m in the first week but what is known as a short-term seller or "frontloaded". Typically, FF games sell around 75% of their total in week one, suggesting FF XIII is good for about 2m in total (and maybe another 200-300k with international releases and budget releases).

A quick example of this difference:

There is no way on earth that FFXIII will outsell NSMB Wii in Japan or even come anywhere close.

My PREDICTION is that at the end of this gen, FF13 will sell more than NSMBW. I might be wrong and i might be right. There is no need to say im a joke account because of my prediction. You were wrong before too.

 

at least ioi offered the reason behind his prediction. What would be your reasoning for FF13 to outsell NSMBW in Japan or WW?

As I asked earlier, I'm wonderinghow it is gonna happen when FFXIII can't even outsell NSMBW in the month it's released.

Up to today, NSMBW has ousold FFXIII in Japan. Next week it will outsell FFXIII when it's on its 4th week and FFXIII on its 2nd. How do you think FFXIII will ousell NSMBW beyond that? I would love to know how it could happen since I see zero chance for it to happen. Therefore, zero chance for you to be right.

If what you did is not considered as a joke, I would like to predict that 360 will sell more than PS3 in Japan at the end of this gen.



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.

Your predictions is kind strange. FFXIII will be luck pass 12 million copies WW, NSMW is sure to be at least 15 million.

FFXIII would be lucky to pass 10m.  Hell, 8m even.

I'm also not entirely convinced NSMB will pass 15m either.

I'm expecting NSMBW to sell over 9000K.



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.

NSMB Wii will easily pass 15m - will be at nearly 9m by the end of 2009. I'm going well over 20m lifetime.

I'd suspect it to get closer to 30mill, if not passing that too.

lol CGI, thats a joke right? NSMBwii will sell a LOT but 30 mil is pushing it, geez.

30m seems insane. The only way I can see that is if it starts getting bundled next holiday or something.

I didn't realize ww sales were so high already, I guess 15m is in the bag.

It could be, but considering the reception to Mario, I wouldn't call it impossible.

Considering this is Nintendo's best selling console, and the fastest selling in history, no I don't think it's pushing it.

Ok man, I personally dont see it happening except NSMBW is bundled with every wii in the future akin to wii sports but maybe I'm the one who's naive lol. We'll see.
