That's a total of 336,910. Given June is a five week period, I'm predicting another 35,000 last week. That puts the 'June' figure at 371,910.
As we all know, VGC is not accurate, so give or take 10%, that would give us a range of 334,719 to 409,101. I'd be conservative and take the lower figure.
Still a bit more room to move. At least according to VGC.
As of the end of May, the Wii had sold 2.8 million units in America -- given some 300k sold in June as has been customary in recent months, that would put it's total at 3.1 million or thereabouts. 550k units on 3.1 million hardware is 18%.
Death, taxes and Mario Party. Nintendo's annual party game featuring everyone's favorite Italian plumber is just one of those constants in life... so long as Nintendo keeps making them that is. And considering Mario Party 8's performance thus far, Nintendo has no reason to stop anytime soon.
A little more tidbit on the growth and expansion of the Mario Party 8 game.
Interesting snipit - With over 300k sold so far in the U.S. alone, there's no reason to believe that the success won't continue in Europe and Japan, reaching and perhaps exceeding the sales heights of its predecessors.
Yep, everything points to a monster month for Mario Party 8. Add to the fact that this is a 5-week period and I think 35DKP/350k should be the bare minimum return to expect here.
