200k in two days? Daaaang.

[Mpl90]

So, just 3DS XL did almost 200k, if I understand this correctly, right?

Mario had just two days, not four like NSMB and NSMBWii, and Mario games does better in the three days following the launch one.

[walking fiend]

how do they fare against nsmb DS and DSL?

NSMB DS had two more days and did 2x what NSMB2 did in its first two days.

DS Lite debut is DESTROYED.

[Jackano]

Expected. Now start the course to 1 million coin... Erff 4 million sales!

[BowieZ]

Now add a 100k or so for digital?

Stomping opener but probably in line with expectations.

[cw_sasuke]

So how long till 3DS catches on to Vita lifetime sales ?
But guess this is a solid debut.

Which was ?

DSL - 68,438 DS - 49,118 PSP - 43,110 PS2 - 25,778 GBASP - 5,493 GBM - 3,213 GC - 1,489 Xbox360 - 1,240 Xbox - 101 GBA - 98

But the shipment was very low, since DS Lite had an high sellthrough with just 70k.

[Garou]

Does that include download-codes from Convenience stores and the eShop?

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I said wow.

[I Stalk Alone]

poor pink DS lite not selling out.

[HoodWinked]

DAT pixel separation.

seriously i heard that the 3D isnt as good on the LL because the pixel gap and the more obvious aliasing.

[Celine]

Wonder how much OG 3DS has sold.
NSMB2 sales are so so.

So how long till 3DS catches on to Vita lifetime sales ?

I'll give it this holiday season.

[King Beyond the wall]

Prepare for a 3ds loaded top 20... % increases are gonna be pretty interesting

[Bruno MB]

The hardware number is really great, on the contrary the software sales of New Super Mario Bros. 2 are simply decent.

doesnt matter nsmb2 will have marathon legs.

Without knowing what the digital sales are, it would be impossible to pass judgement on the NSMB launch

[liger05]

Great hardware sales. Mario bros sales are fine. That game will keep selling major units for months.

[Disguises]

Come on, let's not derail the thread this fast.

Higher numbers than I imagined

[cw_sasuke]

Considering what it is and people also getting a bit tired of the formula i think its great that it still can sell as much as the first NSMB, which had way more anticipation following the release being the first 3D Mario in many years. Especially since the 3DS already had a big Mario plattformer release just a couple months ago, which is still selling.

Many FUD going on about those 3DS XL systems - im suprised.

[richisawesome]

I've got a 3DS XL (its out in UK/EU) and what you're saying is absolute bullshit.

3D is superb and the screen is glorious and a significant improvement over the original.

[nasos_333]

All the impressions i have read so far mentioned that 3D is a lot better with the bigger screen

[Mpl90]

Guys, you have to remember NSMB2 had just two days. Both NSMB and NSMBWii had four days for their first week, and both obtained to do better in the three days after the launch day than on the day one. 2D Mario games have legs even from the first week. So, a 2-days launch penalises the game. You'll see it'll sell a lot in the following weeks.

Even more with Oni Training, which is a kind of game that sells low on the first day, but then many more units are sold during the other days.

Really where? Everywhere I've seen say better

[richisawesome]

Indeed it is. I own one, and you can take my opinion over that of someone who has never used an XL, preferring to spread hyperbole and sounding silly in the process.

[Sadist]

Very good

[BowieZ]

What are the current top 2-day sellers in JP? Anyone know?

[axisofweevils]

[StayDead]

What are the current top 2-day sellers in JP? Anyone know?

I would guess it would be Black and White and Black and White 2 which in 2 days did 4 million? and 2 million respectively.

[nooferu]

Impressive debut für the 3DS LL. I'm curious to see how it affected the sales of the regular unit.

[neoanarch]

I can't wait to see the digital numbers. Any idea when Nintendo will release them?

[Jackano]

If it's not Mario... Who could it be?
Edit: NVM, you didn't spoke for this week.

[Mpl90]

Err, Dragon Quest / Pokèmon / Final Fantasy games, maybe?

[herod]

Wrong. Handheld gaming is dead. Dat iOS.

[XDDX]

Amazing numbers for the 3DS XL...

[Bruno MB]

[NDS] New Super Mario Bros. - First day sales (480,000) - First week (865,024).

[Wii] New Super Mario Bros. Wii - First day sales (420,000) - First week (936,734).

First week = 4 days.

[Tenki]

Wow at 3DS LL numbers. And I'm curious about digital sales for NSMB2 and Oni Training (especially this one)

[piteru]

Holy Smokes!mario bros for ever!
i wonder if we had any increasement in the trinity...

[cw_sasuke]

Holy Smokes!mario bros for ever! i wonder if we had any increasement in the trinity...

Probably - especially with the new commercials for MH Tri G, game will have sold 1.5 million this week.

[BishopLamont]

Holy Smokes!mario bros for ever! i wonder if we had any increasement in the trinity...

Pretty much a given. 20k~ for all three wouldn't be a surprise.

It doesn't specify.

I don't think they include DD sales, its not specified and the numbers would be higher.

Also 200k 3DS XL vs 400k Mario feels a bit off, DD sales shouldn't be underestimated.

[Scofield94941]

pachter am cry. I'm glad to see it sell well

[Cheesemeister]

Does that include download-codes from Convenience stores and the eShop?

It doesn't specify.

Compare with Pokemon B&W 2 for DS at 1,618,621 copies in 2 days.

What Trinity?

Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and MH3G?
Or
Taiko no Tatsujin, LBX Baku Boost, Dragon Quest Monsters: TW3D?
Or
Culdcept, Calciobit, Mario & Sonic?

Or all of them?

:P

[IrishNinja]

yeah, no eshop #'s makes this feel a bit off.

still weirder is the delay to us, at least we're sub 3 weeks to go but damn this feels like more NOA incompetence somehow.

[Kouriozan]

Nice for the XL, hopefully nintendo will release eShop sales numbers soon :p

[Ryoku]

Does that include download-codes from Convenience stores and the eShop?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=481208

If the current sales figure doesn't include digital downloads, then the actual sales figure may be much larger. On the flip side, if it does include digital downloads, then you have the total sales figure already, and Nintendo may divide the sales figure into its two categories sometime soon.

[electroplankton]

3DS XL sales are a bit higher than expected, NSMB2 a bit lower. But still... Wow! I wonder how old games increased thanks to this.

[Kouriozan]

Remember :

Digital sales might be very high !

[Ryoku]

Remember : Digital sales might be very high !

Do those retail digital download codes count as digital, or retail?

EDIT: This picture made me realize how much availability is offered by those codes at retail. Just the sheer amount of them in a small location is mind-blowing, and availability online is limitless. Old news, but it puts things into perspective seeing so many in a small place.
