Mario's been restocking everywhere.

No, NSMBW sales went DOWN from the previous week.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

If that's with new stock, that's even more terrible!  What a hopeless product.

[Peachylala]

Consumers are failing at their duties.

[SalesBot]

[ShyGuy]

Those are awesome bar graphs

[Mop it up]

I can't believe it, I just can't believe it.

[Peachylala]

I think it's absolute BS that SMB3 is below Super Mario Land in Japanese sales. It is a travesty beyond all proportions.

GO NSMBWII GO!

[BlackNMild2k1]

you gotta remember that SML was on a handheld, which is owned by individuals who would all buy their own copies.

SMB3 is on a console, which is usually 1 per household and several people share all the same games.

For SMB3 to be that close to SML, I think it did pretty damn good. Too bad NSMBW is gonna beat them both

[KDR_11k]

Of course there's no reason for a household to have more than one copy of a specific game (unless it has only one save and even then it's questionable), two at most.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

For a contemporary game to climb higher is amazing considering digi-distro (Public Piracy(TM)).

[Mop it up]

I don't think that Super Mario Land selling better than Super Mario Brothers 3 has anything to do with one being on a handheld vs. console. Super Mario Land was one of the first Game Boy games so it didn't really have much competition, whereas Super Mario Brothers 3 released at a time when hundreds of other NES games were available and the Super NES wasn't too far off either.

Super Mario Brothers sold the best because it came first.

Mop it up makes a excellent point. At the time Mario Land was released it was pretty much the only game in town beyond Tetris on the system in terms of an "A+" quality game that would turn heads.

[Chozo Ghost]

This thread is making me wish I still had my old Spinach screen Gameboy and games.

[Peachylala]

Whereas Super Mario Brothers 3 released at a time when hundreds of other NES games were available and the Super NES wasn't too far off either.

...In America. SMB3 came over to the Americas in 1990. It's Japanese release was in 1988. But the games comment still applies.

Super Mario Brothers sold the best because it came first.

Not to mention all the different pack-ins it received.

Mop it up makes a excellent point. At the time Mario Land was releasedit was pretty much the only game in town beyond Tetris on the system interms of an "A+" quality game that would turn heads.

It was a good launch game, but I don't consider it A+ quality. SML2 IS A+ quality for a Mario handheld game (in terms of Game Boy Mario titles).

[Caterkiller]

Hahahah, I just realized Mario was beating up his past selves as he worked his way up.

[Kairon]

Hahahah, I just realized Mario was beating up his past selves as he worked his way up.

Yeah, it took me awhile before I got that too. Now I look for it in every chart!

[Peachylala]

Nice legs you got there Final Fantasy XIII. Hope you can reach your quota to pay for that big budget you have.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Give it another week to flops its way off.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Nice legs you got there Final Fantasy XIII. Hope you can reach your quota to pay for that big budget you have.

Must be sarcasm considering FFXIII went from 1.5 million 1st week to 188k 2nd week.
Whats that? an almost 87% drop in sales from week to week.

There better be a HUGE advertising campaign in US/EUR if they are gonna make the quota that was necessary, but that would mean they need to sink even more money into the game just to advertise it.

[Peachylala]

Money sinking at it's finest.

I highly doubt Crystal Bearers made a big dent in terms of budget, even though it's (IMHO) one of the best looking and well-thought out Wii games.

Must be sarcasm considering FFXIII went from 1.5 million 1st week to 188k 2nd week.

Emo characters and Tetsuya Nomura designs can only go so far.

[Kairon]

Gosh, what's with the FFXIII hate? It's performing in line with previous Final Fantasies. That may not be what they want in Japan, but the American and european markets are so much larger nowadays. They can still put up strong numbers.

Besides, all that hate is better spent on FFVII.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Why FFVII?

I hear it getting remade for the Wii... why would we hate on that?

I didn't really hear that, but it would be pretty cool though.
