Gotta love how Wii Fit casually waltzed its way to a million.

I see what you did there.

 

[Jirotrom]

And everyone jumped on me a couple of weeks ago when I said that Super Mario Galaxy was going to crawl, not speed to a million...

considering the drop it seems like its a supply problem.

 

[Rolf NB]

Go, FF IV. For honor.

 

[Wii-za]

So assuming SMG sales this week are ~17,000...

[WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) 819,000

GO GALAXY!!!

btw...nice Wii Fit sales...and Wii Sports sales....and Wii Play sales....

...when is Wii Music coming out in Japan?

 

[ethelred]

considering the drop it seems like its a supply problem.

No, it's a "holidays are over" problem.

What he said.

 

[Jirotrom]

No, it's a "holidays are over" problem.

most likely, but thats a huge sales drop really huge for a game that had been selling so steadily for the past few.

then again I don't have these numbers memorized or anything so w/e.

That was because of the holidays though..If there was no holidays, it would have hit 17k a week or 2 ago.

That's a lot easier to achieve when all the system's owners band together to buy the only game on the PSP.

hey guyz no wonder why people confuse mario galaxy and mario party

It plays other games?! They should advertise that on the box.

 

[Rolf NB]

Every single game in that chart shares that problem. They all dropped, of course, but that doesn't affect the relative standing. Galaxy simply dropped harder than any other top-ten game did.

what about tactics

 

[Lightning]

PS3 games come back from the dead? Interesting. I like that.

 

[Cheesemeister]

Last week, top 10 total unit sales were 987,433. This week: 338k.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I was wondering if Call of Duty 4 had been discounted yet seeing that the 360 version wasn't on the charts and then jumped back up along with the Ps3 version jumping up so high?

 

[Vinnk]

I'll visit the stores tonight. ANything I should look for? Is it even worth doing a report this week?

You know how when you die you get a boner? That's what that is.

Look for kebabs. I'd like to know how kebabs do in Japan.

what ps3 game came back from the dead...?

 

[Vic]

Mario & Sonic have teamed forces to ROCK YOUR FACE

So, how ridiculous would it be if the DS version sold more than 1 million :O

 

[Rolf NB]

Last week, top 10 total unit sales were 987,433. This week: 338k.

Why yes, that's what I'm saying. Everything sold less, because indeed the holiday sales are over. But when everything drops by the same percentage, the chart positions aren't changing. This week's top ten titles are last week's top ten titles, with just two of them swapped out and the positions slightly rejiggled.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

So, how ridiculous would it be if the DS version sold more the 1 million :O

There isn't much I'm ruling out at this point.

Is it played by punching the touchscreen forcefully and frequently?

 

[reilo]

14./38. [PS3] Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Activision)

say wat?

 

[jgwhiteus]

And everyone jumped on me a couple of weeks ago when I said that Super Mario Galaxy was going to crawl, not speed to a million...

Well, it definitely won't make it before the end of January or February or anything...but with 180,000 to go, I'd say it'll definitely make it there by mid-year (5 months ~ 20 weeks; only needs to pull sub-10K average/week for that).

It might hang around 10-15K for a couple of weeks, maybe dropping below 10K at times, but also having stronger weeks during the traditional bigger holiday periods (Golden Week?) Also, if Wii Fit continues to sell strong and helps sell Wiis, then SMG would probably benefit (along with Wii Sports, MP8, etc.). It'll be well over a million by the time 2008 is over, I think...who knows what its lifetime sales will be. 1.5M+? Maybe even in the 2M range if the Wii continues to do well and this generation lasts long enough? Mario games just stick around for a long, long time...

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Is it played by punching the touchscreen forcefully and frequently?

I bet it has a lot of rigorous "scratching". Should be quite awful! And sell better than most handheld games!

Yay?

 

[Defuser]

Thats what I want to know too....

 

[Lightning]

Referring to last week no PS3 games in the top 30 I believe, this week there are 3.

 

[The Faceless Master]

10./11. [NDS] Mario Kart DS (Nintendo) - 17,000 / 2,908,000

Ever hear that expression about how when the river drains out, fish think they're flying?

I'll just let this analogy be my reply :lol :lol

 

[JJConrad]

You said it would "struggle to make it to a million," which is a completely different than "crawl to a million."

Not me. I hated these games for 25 years and will not stop doing so now. Input-device masturbation must be one of the stupidest form of entertainment I have ever personally witnessed.

Anyway, you've scared me away. I am not coming back to this thread until tomorrow when the hardware figures are in. :lol

[perfectchaos007]

PSP > Wii this week yet again in hw sales according to Famitsu. C'mon Wii! You aren't doing a good job at catching up to the PSP's LTD! GOGOGO

 

[Raw64life]

You said it would "struggle to make it to a million," which is a completely different than "crawl to a million."

People usually don't crawl unless they have to, hence struggling. I'd say the point I was trying to make was crystal clear.

Spoiler

I can't believe I'm arguing about this

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

Not me. I hated these games for 25 years and will not stop doing so now. Input-device masturbation must be one of the stupidest form of entertainment I have ever personally witnessed.

Especially when wang-masturbation is far more entertaining than these games could ever hope to be buuuut I digress

 

[kassatsu]

they were both in the same position last week?

The 360 version didn't chart last week.

 

[Terrell]

Ass :lol

Or you could just be disappointed now instead... less wasted time.

 

[apujanata]

I thought MHP is a non-game, being 1 Million+ and all that. You should said : the only non-game on the PSP (since it is the only game to break the 1 Million milestone).

It is a pity that PSP, which have reached almost double sales compared to GC, only manage to get 1 Million seller, exactly the same as GC (and SSBM).

so Wii Play and Wii Sports are finally beating Mario Galaxy week by week soundily, just like i thought...

Wow! Can you tell us about some of your other bold predictions? Did you take a position on whether or not the sun will come up daily? Whether the IRS will continue to be unpopular?

hey hey hey, this was a long time ago man. when all those people were saying mario galaxy would be sellin more than wii sports/play or whatever.

if its someone to mock, it was the other people from that thread from last year.

[Innotech]

wtf!
