Mario Sales!

It seems that the title really did great! 550,000 IN ONE DAY is more than impressive.I've had to put it off for a week in favor of Resident Evil, but I can't wait ti give it a shot next week. Good to see the game doing as well as people had hoped. I really still see this as bein one of the best seling games of the entire generation, if the sales of NSMB for the DS is any indication ;)

Thoughts?

Plus, I'm quite sure that this game will have legs. It'll sell well far into next year at least.

Yeah its not going to sell 2 billion copies in an hour like MW or Halo, but in a few months its sales will eclipse them all on a console by console basis.

That seems about right for a Nintendo game after two days. Sure its alot less than CoD but it will sell more for way longer

That's fairly low and it's easy to see why. Retailers underpurchased.

By 2pm Sunday my town was out of Mario. 25,000 people and only 200 copies. In contrast, game X for any other console got at least 200 and is still around.

People underestimated the Mario and got burnt.

Launch doesn't matter

There was too much money going back into people's pockets for getting it the first week

The real test is going to start once the game is a month old, then we'll see how much pulling power this title has.

It was Halo ODST. Of course Mario wasn't expected to get the first day sales of those titles. Mario's hardcore rush out and buy fanbase is much smaller than those games. Of course Mario will sell well for a long time as word of mouth spreads. Most people don't even know its out, cause a lot of Mario's audience doesn't pay attention to game news. You'd be surprised how many people ask me if there are any new "regular" Mario games out. Apparently Super Paper Mario and Mario Galaxy don't count. This game however will be huge probably selling between 15 and 25 million worldwide within 5 years.

Good news indeed, and I'm glad to hear its doing well so far. I'm very curious as to how well it will do down the line, id assume it will continue to do well like others have said if its anything like the original NSMB it should do well for quite a while.

doesn't look like there'll be one that soon next year... either that or it'll be like this year, with a sudden avalanche of games to get >.>
