New Super Mario Bros sells 900k in first week in Japan
New Super Mario Bros Wii has sold 936,734 units during its first week on sale in Japan, making it the fastest selling week one Wii title in the region to date.
The Famitsu sales figures put the title ahead of previous week one high sellers Super Smash Bros Brawl (816,198), Mario Kart Wii (608,147) and Monster Hunter 3 (582,548).
According to Andriasang, the game sold over 422,000 copies in its first day alone.
The game has performed well in the UK charts too, entering at number three after Assassin's Creed 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Analyst Colin Sebastian noted last month the its sales had got "off to a good start after three days at retail", although added it wasn't yet apparent if the title had driven incremental hardware sales.
they've sold 8m systems in japanAh, yeah, my worldwide number isn't a fair comparison for the Japan-only sales. Sorry about that!

Even so, 11~12% penetration for their premiere first-party franchise has got to be pretty scary. Didn't early SMB titles sell more rapidly?
It'll be the best selling console game this entire generation
honestly I don't feel good about that, but it's a top-notch game so w/e

So what's wrong with it being the top-selling game this gen, then? This game definitely deserves the sales.

Because it feels like gamers are saying all the progression the video game medium has accomplished since 1990 is meaningless and as consumers all we want is the game formula from the early 90s. Games have grown so much in the last 20 years, it just seems meh that the best selling game of this generation and maybe all time will be a retro title that adds almost nothing to a 20 year old formula besides slightly better graphics.

I love the game, and it deserves great sales, but meh.
why are people nuts over NSMB? The DS game is a turd. SMB3 shits all over these new 2d Mario games

it's like if you had the movie industry and the best selling movie of the year was a redone version of seven samurai... would you be ok with that?

Sort of like how the Departed was a remake of Infernal Affairs yet won best picture?
Hell, I'd take a good remake of an epic movie over Twilight being the #1 selling movie of the year.
It has been outselling MW2 in the UK.
:bow Nintendo :bow2
So this is already expected to be the best-selling game of ALL TIME? lol
Japan Still Crazy for Mario
New Super Mario Bros. Wii tops three million sold. Fastest ever for Wii in Japan.
January 19, 2010 - Wii Fit and Wii Sports both took over a year to sell three million units in Japan. New Super Mario Bros. Wii did it in just seven weeks.
Enterbrain (via Mainichi.jp) reported the three million sales landmark for Mario today. As of the 17th, the game has sold 3,002,753 units.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii has some big shoes to fill, as its DS predecessor is the best selling DS game of all time in Japan with over five million units sold. The Wii version continues to place in the top two in the weekly sales charts, so don't totally rule out comparable sales.
Similar to the rest of the world, Nintendo Japan gave New Super Mario Bros. Wii a huge promotional push to close off 2009, with ubiquitous commercials featuring celebrity players. The company will be continuing its promotional push over the coming months as it holds a national tournament to determine the top coin collector in the country.

Crow is served rare, medium-rare, and well done. To all those who doubted the success of the game, including the ignoramus whom I quoted, please feel free to navigate yourselves to the crow buffet table!
Goddamn, what a generation we're in, fellas. Nintendo hardware and software outselling and overshadowing the competition on all levels, boasting numbers that eye-candy games like Darksiders, Demon Souls, Bayonetta, MW2, and virtually every other big-budget Hollywood game could only dream about.
Nintendo just needs to stop. This is like an all-out asswhooping on all spectrums. Hitting the little guy (like Sony, who's poised to lose all their PS2-era profits this year, BTW. Credit: Gamasutra) while he's down is not my idea of fair business practice, but who in their right mind could judge the Big N?
What a fuck-awesome generation we're in, boys and girls.
Nintendosbooger, do you own any shares in Nintendo? What has Nintendo's success brought to you? Serious question.
I'd go into some enlightening details, but I doubt a thief who steals games regularly would comprehend anything even remotely related to a CONSUMER sales topic. Now go and play your pirated shit.
"ehy look someone bumped this thread,bet it's booger"
"dayum do i rock or what :rock"
and man new super mario bros is horrible,punchout was sooooooo much better
how much it sold?
oh... right...
:(
First, do you own any shares in companies that compete with Nintendo? What has Nintendo's success done to you? Serious question.

Hey man, I did my part. Check out my game pile; Punch Out is there and still gets heavy rotation on my Wii. Some of you can consider yourselves fortunate that it doesn't have online play, because I'd put some of you so-called hardcore gamers to some serious shame; you'd be crying back to your mainstream HD games like the little bitches you are.
You sure are interested in talking about how shitty their games are at every opportunity, though.
third replies annoy me but i don't want to sounds like a ninthingIgnore him,he is a third rate sfag,unlike booger who is the first class nfag.
what to do bore? :-\
third rate sfag
Anytime someone posts something so clearly intended to troll other users into a response, I reread it picturing a vaudeville melodrama's villain twirling his mustache and chewing the scenery. It's useless to argue when they're so clearly willing to go to ad hominem attacks rather than argue productively.

Dude, try fighting aran ryan with that "skill". Bugger is fucking crazy, you have to stun him during his attack animations.
that isn't based upon pretentious storytelling, dazzling special effects, laid-back gameplay, and cheap orchestrated music.
"Hey look at me, guys! I sold off my Wii!" *giggle*
