Thanks for clearing that up.. I was a little short sighted to think the way I was ... but this is why i don't invest in real stocks in the real world.. hehe.
That makes since but I'm not short sighted to think the Wii won't sell a good chunk of consoles and that attach rate seems more realistic.
you have to remember that this price is for the lifetime sales of the game, not what it is going to sell out of the gate.
Mario 64 (which supposedly galaxy will be the true successor to) sold about 12 million on a system that sold about 33 million worldwide, about a 35% attach rate.
I think that it is ignorant to think that the Wii is currently anywhere close to its final install base, and generally speaking nintendo has only had one major game of each series for each system. So yes, over the next 5 years, i think it is very possible that the wii sells well over 60 million units, and at its current price it would put Mario galaxy at a 27% attach rate (and in all honesty, i think most of us believe that the Wii will most likely beat my previous 60 million estimate)
Just out of curiosity what game in the history of gaming has sold a 100% attach rate?
If I'm not mistaken the Wii has sold close to 10 million consoles so far. At the time of my statement we are saying "Price forecasts 16.74M copies sold"
If I do my math correctly is this even possible. I understand in wanting to buy into a stock you like and purchase a lot of it but to me this is a little unbalanced. Because I don't believe every person that owns a Wii will "purchase" this game giving it a 167% attach rate.
Anybody please correct me if I stated something inaccurate and don't know what I'm talking about because I would definitely like to understand this better. Thanks
Oddly enough, this game is still severely overpriced... I would estimate it selling 15 million copies, at the most, which would mean this stock is overvalued by almost 300DKP, in my opinion.
It seemed to have been slowly getting down to a reasonable prices, for the past week , or so. But then it came back up to this.
Ah well, there's not much that I can do until SMG gets released, which should let show everyone who's gotten it up to this point that it shouldn't be this high.
Nintendo calls Super Mario Galaxy the first worthy successor to the now-classic Mario 64, and it's easy to understand why. Like the pioneering N64 effort, Galaxy takes an old genre, the platformer, and makes it feel brand new again with a fresh spin on some tried-and-true play mechanics. This time around, Mario explores entire galaxies, jumping from planet to planet while battling recognizable enemies from the Mushroom Kingdom. Each satellite that the plumber traverses not only looks vastly different - some resemble glass capsules and others seem more inspired by classic Mario 64 or Sunshine levels - but also features unique weight and physics, a truth that plays cleverly into advancement.
I don't see how this stock has gotten overpriced up to this point... At this point is is very close to the sales we are predicting for Pokemon Diamond, which will most likely the best selling game on the DS. As handhelds typically sell more than consoles, we shouldn't be valuing this so closely, even if it were to be the best selling Wii game. I think it may have something to do with the also overpriced Super Smash Bros. Brawl stock, which has led people to believe that since this game is predicted to sell more than SSBB, it should overinflate like the other stock.
Speaking in a post E3 interview, Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto addressed the design decisions behind Super Mario Galaxy, the possibilities for the upcoming WiiWare platform, and much more.
Some of the Super Mario Galaxy concepts were left over from Super Mario 64, others lifted from the oft-delayed, never-released Mario 128 project for the GameCube --where Pikmin was actually spawned from.
