So that's what Miraculix is called in English? Sounds kind of weird. Is it derived from getting a fix on sth?

Getafix ? Miraculix ? The hell is this shit. It's Panoramix ffs

No kidding. Makes me want to take a look at translations, it must be hilarious to find out what names they came up with.:lol

 

[test_account]

:lol Way too late to the party dude. Oh and nice way to butcher the english language too. Half a year of Nintendomination and these homer people thinks sales for Nintendo platforms are going to drop following the months before the real holidays begin.

Out of curiousity, what english mistakes did he make? I see that he used "an" where it should be "a" instead, and maybe there should be a "," after "but hey" (correct me if i'm wrong though), but is there anything else than than? I'm not a native english speaker myself so i'm just wondering

That's basically it, I don't mean to offend any non-native English speakers, but it was really annoying reading posts like that, and it was more poking fun at him then anything serious.

Panoramix? Pfft, after looking it up the best one is definetly Büyüfiks.

I wonder what Nintendo thinks about Mario Galaxy's performance overall.

I'm sure the game is 5M world wide, but with New Super Mario Bros still hitting the charts world wide, and Galaxy isn't, I wonder what they think.

They did sell good numbers of GTA4 in June in the US, but also remember that none of the versions made it into the last top 10, whilst in Europe, they are still making the top 10 in most countries.

And in most of those countries where GTA4 is still in the top 10, they used combined format charts, unlike NPD.

Err, I just expected it to be the leading title for the Wii in terms of sales. /shrug

 

[Jokeropia]

Mario Galaxy was at 6.1 million through March. Reaching 10 million in the end shouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Its going to outsell its predecessor by a good few million and SMS didn't do too badly.

Relax dude, I think he was only asking an honest question. Anyways there's nothing to worry about, like Zelda, it's their pinnacle when it comes to gaming, sure they might add some gimmick in the new versions, but it'll still be the same fun we all love.

Is there a link?

And how much did SM64 sell WW? I think it did over 10 million.

Hah. I want translated names for the chief please. He's Vitalstatistix (kind of fitting for this thread) in the English version.

 

[Gabyskra]

Hah. I want translated names for the chief please. He's Vitalstatistix (kind of fitting for this thread) in the English version.

Abraracourcix in French. With arms made shorter litteraly. Could be translated to "with tucked up sleeves", the idea of imminent fighting.

 

[_Alkaline_]

I don't have a link but during a Nintendo press conference, Iwata showed a chart detailing the sales of Wii games up until March 31, 2008. Galaxy was past 6 million. Thus, I'm sure it'll be quite a bit higher by now. I think Nintendo would be fine with its sales, though it clearly doesn't have the outstanding legs and appeal of something like NSMB. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe it's the fact Galaxy is in 3D? Perhaps that isn't as appealing to as many people who would prefer 2D Mario like the good old days?

As for Super Mario 64, it sold nearly 12 million worldwide.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2008/080425e.pdf

It's a pretty big document so I recommend searcing for "Galaxy".

 

[Phife Dawg]

Hah. I want translated names for the chief please. He's Vitalstatistix (kind of fitting for this thread) in the English version.

From wikipedia:

In English, his name is a pun on Vital statistics – the government birth and death records of a region and also an expression for a person's measurements (a comment on his size). In the American translation, he was Macroeconomix from macroeconomics.
In Catalan, he is Copdegarròtix ("cop de garrot" – "club hit")
In German, Greek and Scandinavian, he is Majestix from majestic; similarly in new Dutch translations he is Heroix from heroic.
In Esperanto he is Moŝtiks ("via moŝto" – your highness)
In Finnish he is Aladobix, referring to 'aladobi', a Finnish jelly-like dish containing meat
In Hungarian, he is Hasarengazfix, which means 'His belly surely shakes'
In Polish, he is Asparanoiks, referring to 'paranoia', the fear of sky falling on his head.
In Turkish, Toptoriks, alluding to his roundness.
In Brazilian Portuguese, his name is usually shortened to Abracurcix.
In Hindi translation, his name is mentioned as मुखिया मोटुमालिक्स (Mukhiya Motumallix), which literally means, 'The Fat Chief'
In Bengali , the chief has a name phonetically similar to some extent to his English one . It's "Bishalakritix" – taken from the root "bishalakriti" – which aptly means "of huge proportions".
In Hebrew, his name is לוחמאמיקס (lokhem-amix), meaning 'brave warrior'.
In Serbian, He is Дрматорикс (Drmatoriks/Drmatorix), from "drmator", a slang term for Communist era movers and shakers ("drmati" means "to shake")
In Welsh, he is Einharweinix, from ein harweinydd (our leader)

I ... uh ... WHATZ??

 

[Phife Dawg]

I ... uh ... WHATZ??

Asterix & Obelix comics have been translated into many, many languages. Here in Germany we even have translations for regional dialects like Friesisch and Plattdeutsch. I guess Friesisch and Esperanto have roughly the same number of active speakers today (Esperanto apologists will probably stake and burn me :lol ).

 

[Raist]

Oh Christ, what've I done? D:

You've derailed the thread with druid name port talk. Requesting a ban right now.

Anyway. Looks like we won't see spanish charts this week.

Thanks for correcting doicare and basically debunking his theory. What he claims to see is obviously nothing more than statistical noise. Much appreciated.

Isn't it obvious?
DS, handheld game, first new 2D Super Mario in like 15 years (!)... there you have it

[Psychotext]

We have a thread which does (or did) similar things with the Chart Track sales awards data. It just appears that this has had some PR figures added to it too.

 

[[Nintex]]

According to Nintendo's financial report Super Mario Galaxy is the third best selling Wii game.

WiiSports: 21.56 million
WiiPlay: 11.51 million
Super Mario Galaxy: 6.10 million

Also:
Zelda Twilight Princess: 4.35 million
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: 1.31 million

As of March 2008

So, it is widely known that M&S broke the million bar in the UK ?


btw : Has someone have the link to the sales awards webpage please ?

Sega said they sold 1.35 million in the UK, and we know the DS version broke 300k last month, so it's safe to assume the Wii broke a million. It'll receive the ESPLA award when they release the June awards.

Sega said they sold 1.35 million in the UK, and we know the DS version broke 300k last month, so it's safe to assume the Wii broke a million. It'll receive the ESPLA award when they release the June awards.

The June awards have been out for a while now

Interesting to see from those charts, that the ps3 version of gta4 has sold almost as much as 360 version now. Nowhere near the 60/40 it was at launch.

That's basically it, I don't mean to offend any non-native English speakers, but it was really annoying reading posts like that, and it was more poking fun at him then anything serious.
