^^on PS3 and 360 combined, why not?

Let's be generous and say that it'll sell 2.5 million in Japan.


You really expect  it to sell 10.5 to 12.5million across 360 and PS3 in North America and Others alone?  No Final Fantasy game has even sold 10 million WORLDWIDE - let alone just selling 10mil excluding Japan.

It'll get 6 - 7mil (if that) in North America and Others - and I think I'm being generous again with that figure.

Yes i excpect it to sell 10.5 to 12.5 million in USA and Others

wow, people are really overhyping NSMBW sales. 30 million my ass. If NSMB DS couldnt sell that much what chances does Wii version have with 2 times smaller userbase. I think NSMBW will sell 15m-17m worldwide, about 2m more than FF13

Wii is tracking on par with DS, and Mario Kart Wii massively outdid Mario Kart DS.

 

And MKWii being bundled with wheel controller has nothing to do with it

Excitebots is also bundled with the Wheel controller, so there goes that theory.

Excitebots brand is much lees powerfull than Mario brand and it had much less comercials on TV, so there goes that theory

And with that reply, it seems you do actually realize why Mario Kart Wii sells - and it has nothing to do with a plastic wheel.

Well maybe they should package that wheel controller in with Final Fantasy XIII in the West - it's gonna need it to reach your outrageous projections!

Right. You just contradicted your original point. Congrats.

If both games are bundled with the Wheel, and one sells lights out while the other bombs magnificently, the Wheel has nothing to do with the sales either way.

New innovative motion controller + the strongest brand in gaming and lots of ads= Good sales

New innovative motion controller + weak brand with few ads= Bad Sales
