Paper Mario 2 isn't going to be a million-seller out of the gate like GTA: San Andreas or Halo 2, but most retailers are expecting the title to have longer-than-typical legs. "We're anticipating strong sales as we move closer to the holidays, particularly because of the strength of the franchise. People will buy these franchise games regardless of what the rest of the industry is doing," Beck said. "Overall the title has done well, and we expected it to do well."
Nintendo is equally pleased with how the title has performed thus far. "Yes, the game is selling well and is exceeding our expectations," Nintendo's spokesperson said. Intelligent brand management and a steady sales pace should ensure Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door's success through this fall and into the holiday season.
