@Laoldar, Was VGC tracking sales data when the other games were released, or are they just pulling numbers out of the vapor again?
I realize that the games were successful on other systems. I realize that Mario games translate well to the DS. BUT. The games that have translated well have all been either WILDLY successful on a previous system (Mario Kart), or platformers (New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 64 DS). The other Mario games are games like Mario Hoops, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, etc. non-core Mario games, in other words.
I think this is going to be an extremely hit or miss game; either I'll be right, or I'll fall back into obscurity out of the top 100.
Quoting VGC numbers is dangerous, I'd just like to re-iterate. I'm sure you know that, Laoldar, I'm just throwing it out there for any new people who might be tuning in. They might have quasi-reliable trends for newly released games, I don't know how good they are for actual historical sales data.
