Forums - Sales Discussion - NSMBW sells over 500k units in its third week in Japan (1.9M LTD)

World 9 was really something special. I lost around 30 lives when I was trying to finish the last levels with all star coins. In the end I bit a small hole into my pullover but who cares!



Take a look at my photos on flickr

NSMBW flies to 2 millions, great, I would have never expected this!

And hopefully I will be able to play it only in some weeks :(



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

I don't know. Maybe I'm biased, 1.5m for FFXIII is fantastic, but I'm just more impressed by NSMB 568k week 3. NSMB Wii is GiGanTic (Rol shout out)

That's no bias. FFXIII is selling like a regular FF, or slightly under. That's great, as people were worried about it due to being on the PS3, but...

NSMB Wii is selling like no console game we've ever seen in Japan. On consoles it's only going to fall short of the biggest game ever (SMB1), can you believe it?

Slightly off topic - poor Tales. Poor Tales! Although, have you looked at the price differences on these games? I guess it's always like that in Japan, but it does explain some things to me...

No WSR in the media create top 10. It should be close to 50000, which is good.

it's 11th. And I think Taiko 2 is 12th.



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.

I have to admit though that in December 2008, I would never have guessed that it would by anywhere near this close. Nintendo needs to get off its ass, and soon.



DS will likely top 140 Million in 2010 when wii is defintly going to top 75 Million easily. Nice numbers.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,
