Did you think New Super Mario Bros Wii would outsell Mario Galaxy?

Yes 112 47.86%
 
No 19 8.12%
 
Well DUUUUUHHHHHHH 92 39.32%
 
I was young, and foolish! How was I to know!? 11 4.70%
 
Total:234

To be fair i never expected it to sell so much so quickly, i never saw the million plus a week, although i saw huge legs for the game. What blew me away is how well it's doing after just a couple weeks.

I did predict 20 million though.

I always knew it would. 2D Mario is much bigger in Japan than 3D. As a result it had to sell higher as the other markets would, at worst, perform equally. I expected over 10 million based on the performance of the DS game. I did not expect the current sales rate though. The sales are simply absurd. I severely under estimated how quickly it would achieve the milestones I knew it would.

Saleswise, I was never comparing it.

When crunching the numbers, I always calculated things so that NSMB Wii would outsell Mario Kart Wii by 10% weekly. Galaxy was going to be outsold quickly.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I expect it to sell 26 million lifetime. :l




              

Voted for 'yes you daft fool'. 2d mario platformers are main series, 3d platformers are just a spinoff

All you had to do was look at the sales of NSMB DS to know this game was going to outsell Galaxy.

Those who pick on the Wii and its games everytime they see a chance to do it. I won't name names, because even kingofwale deserves some respect.

but both games are wii games.

well duhhh

I had originally thought 15m with good legs leading to 20m. Now I'm thinking 20-25m if the Wii stays on the market long enough.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
