@lstormy10, The combined sales of GC and PS2 versions of Killer 7 in the first month was slightly more than 25k. NMH is already far more successful than Killer 7.
@rikitikitik, That is basically what I meant. So, if anyone has some numbers on Killer7 and how that performed, then I would say that this title will easily outsell those numbers.
In the history of the Wii thus far, the more hardcore games have seen most of their sales during their first 6 months, so by the end of summer, the sales for this title will be essentially over with other than some extra sales as the price goes down and some new Wii owners that may pick up the title.
@starship, According to Kotaku, the 100k sell-through is since launch, and 200k copies is shipped in the US. January sales are apparently at 65k. I'm sure someone here that is also from NeoGAF knows more about this figure ;)
65k isn't as good as the previously thought 100k in January, but for a Suda game, for such a niche and poorly-advertised hardcore title for the Wii, 65k is actually good.
I'm guessing that they would reach their 500k LTD sales wish, and probably up to 550k even.
Yeah, it's pretty good to see this title making your way through the sales. It's a bit sad that in Japan it hasn't sold very well. But maybe things change in the future. I'll buy my copy next month =D and I can't wait 'till there.
This is fantastic. After the disappointing release in Japan, I was worried that this game wouldn't find its audience. It's an amazing title...the first time in a while where I've had multiple reactions of "wow!" whenever anyone saw it.
