just curious...

 

[FunkyTaco]

I bought a copy so there's 1...

 

[Socreges]

Real good

 

[teepo]

i work at ebgames and we only sold 1 copy.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I'm the 6th person I personally know that owns it.

 

[AniHawk]

I know we've sold over 15 since Tuesday. Better than Nintendogs by 2-3 times, I think.

Spoiler

Also, we sold 6 outta 6 copies of Magna Carta in 2 days

 

[cvxfreak]

I wonder how it'll do compared to Double Dash. That one did like 530K in November 2003, although IIRC the GC had a much bigger userbase then as well.

 

[DDayton]

How WELL is Mario Kart selling?

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

We cant keep them in stock.. in total since the game was released our store has sold over 25

 

[demi]

Why do you ask?

It's been like 2 days

Honestly, now

 

[Lhadatt]

It's been like 2 days

4, actually.

 

[AniHawk]

4, actually.

two

 

[VOOK]

I know around Western Australia its extremely hard to find but we insigificant in the Grand Scheme of things. :lol

 

[Lhadatt]

two

Release Date: Nov 14, 2005

Add a day for shipping to stores. Game arrived on 11/15. Four days.

Unless you use that new math. But that would be silly.

 

[AniHawk]

two

And you're both wrong since I bought it on Monday November 14th.

 

[demi]

I said like two

That gives me leeway

Mmhmm

Who's the smart one now?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

How WELL is Mario Kart selling?

thanks

Why do you ask?

Honestly, now

just wanted to know if this is going to be a HUGE hit or not, and I think the first day alone would be enough to see the potential of the game

 

[Gaia Theory]

What I can't wait to see are the stats for how many people are going online with MK DS. Should be pretty damn interesting.

thats cool

It says there are 17 players on line right now :lol

 

[Grug]

I think that means 17,000

 

[Merlin]

Yes it does. Look at the graph. Apparently 90,000 is the most online at once.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

uh thats pretty insane? 90,000 .. 4 days the games been out.. then dont count the people who dont even play online..

Man.. MK DS sales are gonna be like 400,000 or some shit ??

 

[antipode]

I think that means 17,000

No, it means only 17. You can pull the XML feed from Nintendo:

http://www.nintendowifi.com/gaminghub/gameAuthActivity.do?gameCode=AMC

The first number is the number of players online now, the second is highest number of players online in the past 24 hours. The number goes to 0 whenever the Wi-Fi servers are having problems.

if that were true id see my name on nintendowifi.com but no matter how much refreshing i do.. i never do =[

 

[Xellotah]

I wander if they will break the numbers down by region. It will be interesting to see how the japanese and us europeans take to the online service, especially since the japanese have tended to shy away from online games.

 

[Slurpy]

How WELL, for Gods sake, how WELL.

 

[Grug]

How WELL, for Gods sake, how WELL.

Its a hit, rest assured, its a hit.

 

[Xellotah]

How WELL, for Gods sake, how WELL.

How great will it do? How excellent is it going to sell? Now those are the questions we need to know.

 

[3phemeral]

Everyone at work plays it during break time, and soon my friends and I will have at it during our xmas vacation in vegas. =) Practically the day it came out, I've seen my coworkers just pop out their DSs during lunch just to play.

 

[Kroole]

Well it is getting recognitions across several big game/tech-related sites atleast. I haven't seen one DS (or PSP) game get that much attention as this has from sites like shacknews etc.

 

[Grug]

The Nintendo DS hype machines snowballs on. Its on its way to becoming a true phenomenon.

 

[speedpop]

Choo choo!

 

[DDayton]

How great will it do? How excellent is it going to sell? Now those are the questions we need to know.

...

"How excellently will it sell?"

"How greatly will it do?"

(Whimper)

 

[Drakken]

Sticklers, unite!

(Eats, Shoots & Leaves - read it!)

This is insignificant, but I was at Wal-Mart for about 10 min. the other day. I bought it, and a dad bought it for his kids.

 

[hooo]

How WELL is Mario Kart selling?

Thank you.

 

[Gahiggidy]

Man, I may just ask for a DS for Christmas. This game and the coming ACww really is tempting me to start playing video games again.

 

[MegaByte]

The EB where I got mine received 40 copies, sold them all on the first day, and had a waiting line... they said they couldn't remember the last game that generated a waiting line.

 

[Mrbob]

Seen plenty of copies everywhere around town. Not sure how well the game is selling though. Didn't ask. Then again, nothing besides the PS2 has ever been a complete sellout.

 

[littlewig]

My local Gamestop only recieved 9 copies. 5 of them were pre-orders. When i went to buy my copy, I got the second to the last one.

So, they ran out of their shipment pretty quickly, I imagine that it was like that at all places.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

180 copies.

 

[Orin GA]

Do you guys actually go up the Employees and ask how a game is selling, or count the number of copies you see kept in the locked glass cases...

Thats pretty sad...

No, actually the employees felt compelled to tell me without me even asking.

 

[ocelittle]

If it's a game like Zelda, I'll ask how they're selling.

 

[Lhadatt]

two

New math.

I said like two

That gives me leeway

Mmhmm

Who's the smart one now?

 

[Andy787]

Maybe I'm reading that page wrong, but there's no way there were 120,000 people online at the same time. That's bigger than Halo 2 when it launched, and it sold millions of copies, and predominantly to people to whom online play is of huge importance.

 

[Wario64]

180 copies.

180,000. there were 180,000 users online at the same time on wednesday
















:lol
