New Super Mario Bros Wii sells 550,000 on day one in the Americas - NintendoPals.net Nintendo Friend Codes Forum

Nice healthy figures for New Super Mario Bros Wii (great game by the way, buy it now if you already haven't).

"The latest Wii blockbuster posts the third largest day one of the year behind Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3: ODST

Preliminary VGChartz estimates are in and it looks like New Super Mario Bros Wii has become the third fastest-selling game of the year so far in the Americas with over half a million copies sold in the first day alone. The title had accumulated around 520,000 preorders as of last week and VGChartz estimates that week one sales in the Americas should come in at around one million units.

The top Wii openings in the Americas have been Super Smash Bros. Brawl which sold 1.59m units in week one, and Mario Kart Wii which sold 1.21m units in week one. New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to start slightly below those two but should sell more in weeks 2-6 with holiday sales boosts (Super Mario Galaxy may be a better comparison as it came out at roughly the same time of year two years ago although New Super Mario Bros Wii is expected to track at least 50% higher in the coming weeks).

With Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 out tomorrow and Modern Warfare 2 still seeing enormous sales, it will be a busy week but at the moment it looks like Mario will be coming out on top."

Sorry if this has been posted already, looked but haven't found it.

New Super Mario Bros. could just take the cake this year as best seller. Modern Warfare 2 will probably get it, but it wouldn't be the first time a high profile Nintendo game outsold a high profile multiplat.

Holy crap!!
thats INSANE
(too bad I wasnt one of those 550,000)

I think it may have a chance at SMB3's record..

Dang!!
I still need a copy of it.

Lucky whoever owns it!

That is good to see that it is selling well here in America. I must say, it is a pretty good game & I will admit that it is more difficult then then the first one for the DS.

SilentAngel · 11-21-2009, 12:00 AM

Tbh i can see this outselling majority of games for the sheer fact nintendo is lacking on every front.

i doubt this will outsell SSBB. That game had the masses after that sh*t for soo long x.x

This news makes me want to buy New Super Mario Bros Wii even more. /Goes off to persuade parents to buy it.

Pac_cap · 11-22-2009, 12:30 PM

This'll be one of the few games this year I want for the Wii. On the list it goes.

Xander · 11-23-2009, 10:58 AM

It has sold roughly 1.3 million now and I think it hasn't been released in Japan yet.

ZeFrk · 11-27-2009, 04:58 PM

amazing cant wait til I get it...

Koopa Chrissy · 11-29-2009, 03:54 AM

Wow, it won't impact Modern Warfare 2 but still great news nontheless.

Dimentio · 11-29-2009, 05:42 AM

Seems that it'll be one of Nintendo's smash hits this Christmas, along with the new Zelda (Spirit Tracks)

Good for Nintendo, even better for us.

I bode an increase in the activity level of this site as well.
