@Just_Ben, I totally agree with you on this point, Just_Ben. I'd like to also add that the game will have tons of legs mostly because Mario IS Nintendo. There wouldn't be a Wii without the successes of the original Mario games, and when people thing of Nintendo, they think of Mario. It's almost a sacrilege for people to not own THE Mario game for the Nintendo system they own.
Additionally, when Mario finally IS out, I think there's going to be a HUGE sales spike in the Wii. Most of the people I talk to have the same complaint about Wii that they do about Nintendo; that there's not as many immediately recognizable first party games out there.
No it is not. It is relatively irrelevant how it sells on the first month. This game will have legs and legs and legs. Mario doesn't depend on first Month numbers. It not that constant as Brain Age (It just sells with nearly the same numbers month after month), but it will have legs, and will most likley sell more in December than November.
I concur, this price is crazy... some food for thought TSErs:
1) Super Mario Bros. (NES) - 40 Million 2) Tetris (Game Boy) - 33 Million 3) Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) 18 Million 4) Super Mario World (SNES) - 17 Million
Really now.....How on earth is the wii going to have the market penetration it takes to reach these levels....and as good as galaxy is, is it really going to be as good as the 4 games to sell 17million (1700DKP) plus?
I'm shorting this stock, and if you can afford it, perhaps you should too :)
@Just_Ben, When did I say that? Not saying I did not say that, I cannot remember. I'm feeling that Galaxy may not reach 15+ million, but it's hard to predict what will happen. This is a unique situation, the market is different than it was when Mario sold that high; so it could go either way maybe. I feel that it will do well but not anywhere near 15+ mil, but who knows. I haven't touched this stock nor Smash because I would like to short it but I realize its going to stay high until after the games release.
I can't hear that 2 of 3 lie anymore. Somebody just says that as guess and everybody say its true. Its upper BS. Software on the Wii sells in Japan, and that game will most likely break 1 Million preorders by shops in JA before it comes out. This is the Japanese Halo. Japan love Mario, and it will most likely have the same attach rate as Wii sports there 66%. Sunshine had it, and that game was really bad for a Mario Platformer. Galaxy? Well say that game will be a hit. 20 Million is high, but as Joe80 said, not unreasonable. It is a long time ago Nintendo was the leader and the last time it was (SNES) how many Marios where sold? I say it will be somewhere between 16 and 20 million, but I have no question that it will fall before the market will realize that.
It will ignore Japanese Market and the European and just look at American numbers, just like brain age. Get it, Halo is only Big in America, and maybe Galaxy will not brake Halo in NA, but it will break it WW, easily. You all just have to look what the difference is between the different region to realize that.
