Paper Mario 2 .. Sales prediction

Is it doing good or bad so far?

Its #5 on Amazon.com behind San Andreas, Halo 2, Halo 2 Limited Edition, and Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed Expansion Pack.

And its #1 on EB Games figures for the week of Oct. 10th through Oct. 16th.

So I'd say its doing pretty well.
 
With the absolutley dire state of gaming at the moment, it'll probably struggle to top 150k in it's first month, whilst cr*p like Tony Hawks, Need For Speed, Madden, wrestling games, etc etc sail past a million again.

that might be an indication, or it might be totally off...

I sometimes track those lists, and they are always pretty off-base from what ususally happens, because so many title purchases at regular stores are impulse decisions, different from online shopping, where the people usually have something in mind, and are probably going to be more dedicated gamers purchasing that casual consumers...

NFL 2k5 should have another fantastic month, but that's not what amazon.com would show...

Either way, I think if Crystal Chronicles could do 250,000 in Feb., no way this does less than that, I'd say this does easialy 1.5x what that did, and with the holidays approaching, maybe even more...

not really a good indicator, wasnt katamari damacy #1 on that list for a week as well?

and that wasn't exactly a huge seller.

Why is this even a topic? Hasn't anyone looked at the box art? It has a gold seal that says Best Seller! Anyways, +1 from my purchase today. Oops, that's right, ToysRUs doesn't count. -1

no, it wasn't. You're thinking of the best sellers tab, which doesn't really mean anything.
