Te first day numbers are in for the latest releases in Japan, such as Ace Combat 6 on Xbox 360 and the Wii duo of Opoona and Super Mario Galaxy. According to Japanese blogger 'sinobi', who regularly updates with early sales figures, Koei's Wii-exclusive RPG 'Opoona', developed by Artepiazza (the team working with Square Enix on the Dragon Quest DS remakes), has only sold around 2,500 copies on its first day, which is 10% of its initial stock.

Haha! I guess it wasn't really that long ago, but it was a while. Like 10 years, at least. I mean, someone who's in college now would probably remember Super Mario 64 from their child hood, and I think that nostalgia could help sales. Plus this game looks great. I got a Nintendo Power with a huge article on SMG, and I'm even more excited for it now than before.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 343 ]bids

I shudder at the thought of people referring to the N64 as "the old days"! Some of us here remember playing Atari and NES ;)
I'm hoping that Nintendo will throw their weight behind this title, but they're not known for aggressive advertising of 1st party titles.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 182 ]bids

I agree. It may even sell more. The 1900 DKP it was at for a while seems too high, but I think it could get up around 1700. Everyone needs to remember that this title has big appeal to casuals, many of whom won't be getting a Wii until Christmas. And when they do get it, what game are they most likely to get? I'd say Super Mario Galaxy, as it will be one of the games most interesting to casual gamers, a possible second only to SSBB. Also, all of the older gamers who remember the old days where they were playing through a 3D adventure with Mario on the N64 should take some interest in this game. I personally am waiting for Christmas to pick this up, though I already have a Wii, and I think a lot of other people are doing the same.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 343 ]bids

To be honest, I personal still believe it can sell 16 Million. I say it is the same here like RE:4. There are believers and no believers. This game will sell a truckload, stay high in the charts for at least a year in every territory, will have a nice second christmass, if not a third. I think you all underestimate the power of legs. That game is not heavy first week headed like Halo. Thats nearly no game on the Wii.[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 112 ]bids

1Alchemy posted on Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) at 12:22PM PST on November 3, 2007. RE: Super Mario Galaxy 130k in one day@pilias_simber, yes I am surprised that the first day sales were so low. I know that this market tends to overvalue the long-tail sales of Nintendo games, but 130k first day sales is quite disappointing.[ Elite ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 408 ]bids

1pilias_simber posted on Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) at 7:37AM PST on November 2, 2007. RE: Super Mario Galaxy 130k in one dayBased on actual sales numbers I think it's pretty safe to say that those who were saying it's overvalued were right. Unless it somehow manages to pick up in sales this game is not going to do anywhere near 17 million sales, probably closer to 10-12 million copies in total.
This stock is overvalued based on actual sales data, time to lose the illusions, this game will not do 17 million, should be at around 1200 DKP[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 122 ]bids

My first console was SNES and there are 3 games I remember heavy from the Time: Mario, Mario Kart and Street fighter. The Wii as a more adult audience at the moment, I think it is very possible that a lot of "older" buy the game, just because its a mario and that remembers them of their childhood. Hell who in my age (25) didn't play one Mario in his childhood?
