Paper Mario 2 GC 92,129 54%

Boooooooo

 

[SolidSnakex]

Boooooooo

It's only its first day sales so it seems to be on track for what Nintendo wants considering it sold 54% of the shipment.

 

[nubbe]

The gaming industry is doomed to recession!

 

[Memles]

Seemingly solid sales for both PM2 and Boktai...Boktai will likely end up at around 40k maybe, PM2 at about 250 or so. Not too bad at all. Wonder how Hardware Sales will do.

 

[Baron Aloha]

~90-100K in sales in one day is very good for PM2.

I really hope NOA does some kind of a PM1 disc. They probably won't but it would be nice. I never played it.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Just checked Shrine of Data, Paper Mario 64's first week sales were 43,396. It ended up doing 405k overall.

 

[Chibbi Brady]

Looks like a very successfull first day for PM2 then. Maybe 160-170k for it's first week total, very similar to Pikmin 2 opening.

 

[MrPing1000]

go PM2 GO GO GO

 

[ToyMachine228]

Very good numbers for Mario

I third this. I think Paper Mario is the only U.S. N64 release that I wanted to play, but never got to.

Also, I wonder if PM2 is going to have any effect on GC's lately-abysmal Japanese hardware sales?

 

[Dan]

PM2 at about 250 or so.

That's impossible given the 92k was 54% of its shipment.

That said, great sales.

 

[Meier]

Very solid numbers for Boktai since the original did something like 50k or so in Japan total.

You are allowed to reship the game. It is only 54% of the first shipment.

 

[Dan]

You are allowed to reship the game. It is only 54% of the first shipment.

But do they? Do any publishers get a second shipment out there during a game's first week?

 

[Jacobi]

I hope PM2 will help to raise the GC sale numbers (even Pikmin 2 didn't do that).

 

[Meier]

But do they? Do any publishers get a second shipment out there during a game's first week?

Yep, that typically happens there for major games.

 

[cvxfreak]

Paper Mario 2's chances of raising system sales are fairly considerable - the enjoyment plus pack + was released on the same day.

Oh, I know. I just wanted to see huge numbers in Japan for a change. I wasn't really expecting anything better than this.

They better get a boost because Japan sales suck when the highlights are seeing if the Xbox can top the PS1 sales.

 

[psycho_snake]

Damn thats good for PM2's first day. i hope it sells very well, Nintendo could do with it.

 

[Sagitario]

w00t for Paper Mario!
