Yes, but not at the rate it's going to. I thought maybe by next fall. I will never underestimate a 2D Mario again.

Not fair!

OP: I did not know, I just knew I would personally like it a lot more. I was right!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

This thread seems pertinent here - "*NSMBW Sales of 4 weeks and Lifetime sales*"

Everyone underestimated NSMBW performance.

It won't outsell FF 13 in Japan though

That's true. It already happened.

i meant at te end of this gen :)

 

but that's off topic

Predicting a Wii version of FF XIII is a very bold statement. Do you have any proof for it?

Huh? I mean PS3 version of FF13 will outsell NSMBW at the end of this gen. But thats off topic i dont wanna discuss about it

I'll be honest in... I really wasn't sure.

The DS versions were beasts, however would 2D make a successful transition over after the 3D snobs pushed it out of consoles so long ago?

Was hard to say, other 2D games had been successes but not at that level.

I wouldn't say I didn't think it would happen, but I wouldn't say I didn't think it wouldn't either. Didn't think there was enough data there and could of been swayed either way.

You should make an on-topic thread on why you think this is so.  It would be interesting to say the least.


The only real hope would be for NSMB Wii's numbers to start dropping off dramatically followed by a "International" release of FF13 that was far more successful then past international versions.

Ha, you could give every Japanese PS3 owner a free copy of FF13 and Mario would still outsell it.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

who knows how many units PS3 will sell in Japan at the end of this gen, especially when it hits 199$ price and GT5 gets launched
