Just what the title says. What is the lowest you think NSMBW will sell WW in any week this year?

 

Also related, what do you think will be its worst ranking in weekly sales?

70ishK



Former something....

at least as much as mario kart wii sold its lowest week of 2008.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Well considering the fact that the Wii averages at least 200k units WW at even the slowest times of the year, I'd estimate that NSMBWii will have an attach rate of a minimum of 50% of new Wii owners, so it should average around 100k units a week give or take maybe 10k in either direction. Mario Kart Wii for example was averaging around 100k units a week through most of '08 and '09 excluding holiday periods when the Wii console was averaging around 200k-250k per week WW, so I'd expect NSMBWii to sell similarly for most of its lifespan.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Lowest selling week? Could be 50-60 under the worst possible circumstances. Average will probably be around 90-110 though.

Whoever said 200K+ either:

A) Did not read the question right (which is okay)

B) Is trying to be funny (also okay)

C) Actually believes it (time for therapy)



12 copies. It will be a bizarre and unexplainable week.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Later in the year the world's supply of red plastic will be completely exhausted.



"Now, a fun game should always be easy to understand - you should be able to take one look at it and know what you have to do straight away. It should be so well constructed that you can tell at a glance what your goal is and, even if you don’t succeed, you’ll blame yourself rather than the game. Moreover, the people standing around watching the game have also got to be able to enjoy it." - Shiggy

If it performs as well as MKWii (which is totally possible) it won't have a week under 100k WW until it has been on the market for over 52 weeks. (MK hit a low of 106k in the 1st year)




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

considering Mario Kart Wii never had a week below 100K its first year, its likely NSMB Wii will also likely sell above 100K its first year
