JavyOO7 said:That's a bit worrying I believe. The Wii was selling great for a while during most of the first half of 2007 and then seemed to slow down quite a bit in the 2nd half until November came and went. I guess I'm just blinded by DS numbers and thinking the Wii should do that as well.

Magicpaint said:Phantom Hourglass is doing very well too, for a portable Zelda. Should have easily passed Minish Cap by now.
Yeah, I think 10+ million is a sure banker now. I think it's selling faster than NSMB on a WW scale. I was worried that it wasn't doing too well in Europe, but going by these numbers, it has been a smash hit in Europe. Which of course makes me very happy.AniHawk said:Not bad for two months.
Hmm yeah, but I can't imagined the numbers for most of the titles on there have increased drastically.AniHawk said:I wish we had more updated numbers than that old graphic from 2004 (which had FSA and TWW WW shipments), just to see where these place.
I believe the last number that Nintendo reported for the GC version was 1.32 million.AniHawk said:Awesome! Thanks.

I just gotta comment on this has this is something that I've always noticed when a company posts it's earnings. Wall Street analysts will expect a company to post, for example a $100 million dollar profit for a quarter. But damn it all if you happen to have a quarter with a $98 million dollar profit. They then think you failed, you're losing money, etc...and your share price takes a hit -- even though you made 98 million for the quarter in profit. Just because some guy with a suit on, who probably lives in his mom's basement pulled the $100 million dollar number out of his ass as an "expectation", you've ultimately failed.
It's really ridiculous.

Isnt G/S at 23 mil? I dont think D/P has the legs to reach that highsuper funk said:Wow, those are ridiculous numbers, especially when you consider what other games in the series have sold.
Pokemon DP will eventually outsell GS, mkaing it the second best selling one.
NSMB will eventually outsell Super Mario Land, making it the second best selling one.
Both Mario Party games are the best selling one in the series.
Phantom Hourglass has outsold all Zelda games in the past few years (except TP) and will eventually outsell the Oracle games.
Twilight Princess combined is the third best selling game in the series behind only the original and OoT.
Nintendogs will eventually outsell Super Mario Bros 3 and become the second best selling game of all time (outside of bundled games).
Forgot about Mario Kart DS, the best selling one in the series.
The DS now has 6 games in the top 20 games sold of all time, and that number will most likely become 7 since Animal Crossing is still selling.
I got all of my numbers from Wikipedia, I hope theyre reliable. If not, please feel free to correct.

jman2050 said:I think it has an outside shot at the single SKU record. Mario 3 supplanted by another Mario game? Sounds about right.
HK-47 said:If it outsold SML it would have already outsold SMB3
Jokeropia said:I believe Corruption is about 100k from passing Echoes. Strikers Charged has already exceeded the original.
Stumpokapow said:I'm going to say again that Strikers Charged is over-stocked right now. Observe the fact that when we last got shipment numbers (IE 3 months ago), Nintendo had shipped 250-300k of Strikers Charged to Japan.
Well, we just got the 2007 top 100. We know Strikers has managed to crawl to 105k. There are a bare minimum of 150-200k copies of Strikers allocated to Japan that have not sold. You can ask the question "Why would retailers continue to stock a game that's not selling?" and I don't have an answer for that. But I do know that the copies are there, unsold.
Phantom Hourglass is a little strange as well. 850k in Japan. Similar total in America. That's around 1.7 million. Did Europe/other sell more than American+Japan combined? That seems strange. It is possible that there's a large amount of stock in America not yet sold, and I think it's safe to say that it'll sell through quite well.
Most of the other titles have similar shipped/sold lag, but I expect those to briskly sell through. These two in particular are the ones that seem suspicious to me.

jjgames said:The expectations are not pulled "out of his ass". Many companies provide their own expectations to analysts. For example Nintendo told analysts how many systems they expected to sell and how much software too.
A stock price is not based upon current earnings, but future earnings so any change to the expectation changes the price a lot.
Example: You pay $65 a share for Nintendo stock. If you were buying for today's earnings only you would get $1-2 dollars per share. You would obviously be losing money. You pay $65 and get $2. You have to be paying for future earnings as well. $2 every year for a long time. Nintendo is also growing so they will make more than that next year. Everyone expects that they will. If everyone buying the stock expects that they will make $3 per share next year, they are willing to pay a certain price for it. If they only make $2.50 per share they are still making a lot of money but not as much as you expected. People are not willing to pay as much for the shares. So the share price has to come down to reflect this difference. This is why expectations are so important.
Like Shiggy said, 240k. The number is still the same in the new document, so the extra 300k were for the west. (Probably mostly Europe.)Stumpokapow said:I'm going to say again that Strikers Charged is over-stocked right now.

PH did revitalize the series for Japan, outside of that it's not surprising to see TP to be more appealing.John Harker said:woohoo to Twilight Princess kicking Phantom Hourglasses ass.
Not that PH is a poor game by any means, I just remember hearing over and over again from people that PH was like the 'true zelda innovator' and was the 1 game that was going to be super successful and revitalize the series and blah blah TP was a commercial failure and all that jazz...
go argue with 5.62MM. Try.
Edit:
Also, +1 for Harker again regarding MPC3 sales.
Fantastic game, but I told you, that one is a commercial disappointment.

I guess we can put to bed any rumors about it having been canceled.
The only place that strikers was overshipped was Japan. Nintendo obviously botched that. However in the US/Europe it was clearly not overshipped and Nintendo shipped an additional 300k to those territories.Stumpokapow said:I'm going to say again that Strikers Charged is over-stocked right now.

DS: The best part is that this is only year one and the console has many more years of life.
Kelbaugh mentioned it selling "over 2 million" in an interview back in November, so it likely hasn't reached 3. With an eventual Player's Choice release, I think it's possible for MP3 to match the original.AniHawk said:Metroid Prime is somewhere up near 3m.
