I was pretty sure it would clear 10 million. Why? NSMB on the DS. As Mario Kart on the DS paved the way for MK Wii, so NSMB paved the road for NSMB Wii.

I didn't know that it would threaten SMG's sales before the year was even out, and likely go on to clear 20 million. Yikes.

Yes and the reason is simple.

Side Scrolling 2D Mario > 3D Mario.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Wow BladeofGod, I didn't know the PS3 would drop to $100 and would come bundled with 2 copies of FF13 in Japan

That hardly seems a fair bet as it's already an open and shut case.   FFXIII already dropped 87% in it's second week to about 250,000 compared to NSMBW selling over 500,000 in it's third week.    FFXIII sales will continue to plummet and NSMBW will enjoy typical loooooooong Wii legs making it impossible for FFXIII to ever catch NSMBW in Japan and zero chance ww.
