The boxart for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii"
Back in 2009, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata predicted that New Super Mario Bros. Wii would at least sell 10 million copies. His prediction was off, but in a good way, as the sales already reached his prediction in only 8 weeks!
To break down the sales, the game sold 4.5 million copies in North America, 3 million in Japan/Europe, and 2.5 million copies in the rest of the world. The game was very successful, doubling the U.S. sales of Super Mario Galaxy!
I am extremely surprised at how well the sales have done, but it is a Mario game that sticks to the original roots, so why not buy it?
