The most hated and then the most loved game of this year. Very funny, addictive and the inclusion of Rosalina is the best!!!

When will people understand that the words "Mario" & "flop" don't belong in the same sentence? Watch all the backtracking once this thing heads towards the 10 million mark.

@Salnax how can you say 1.1 million at the end of this year is not great? The game came out 11/15/13. So that will be like a month & 1/2. 1.1 million in that little time is more than GREAT. I don't even know if these numbers are even including digital as well. I bought mine digital & I'm pretty sure a lot of people did as well. By the way Super Mario 3D World is hands down BEST game on Wii U & in my opinion BEST Mario game I played in a long time. Easily my Top 3 Mario Games of all time. If you own Wii U this is a must buy.

This will easily pass1 million by the end of the year, especially if we take digital sales into account.

Should certainly do over a million by the end of the year.

I'm guessing at least 1.1 million sales worldwide by the end of 2013. Not great, but a decent start for what should be a long-seller. This game already has something like a 1/6 attach rate, and can likely reach as much as 1/4 early next year, assuming Wii U sales don't pick up again until Mario Kart 8.

My local Walmart has sold all but one of their original shipment. I've been checking every few days when I'm passing through on my way home. They had twenty the morning after launch, now they have 1. Not a bad sell-through for a system with such a low install base. I don't live in a very populated area.

The game got overtracked. It happens. I still think it can pass 1 million until 2014.

Considering that number is with digital sales, probably ~200k overtracked in the US.

Oniyide. If they did think mario 3d was going to save the wii u they were wrong and most definately in the minority on this site. One game will never do that on any console ever, it takes time, effort and building a good library.

And this is why Mario sells so well. It has legs and isnt only front loaded yet "OMG it isnt selling well because Knack outsold it in UK" *rolls eyes*

Super Mario 3D World sold 700k in two weeks. It took Mario Galaxy 3 Weeks to surpass to these figures. This games doing pretty good, it has also help console sales as the Wii U has sood over 200k in sales figures.

How do you like that? 700k in two weeks for a console with a 4 million install base, humoungous hit. By this rate, it will get to 30% of the user base or even more. AMAZING!

whatever oniyide, no sensible human thinks that a single game can save a console

but a total of many amazing exclusives can, and this is one of them!!

No acdcste, there were people who thought this would save the WIi U, either you didnt know or you are just not paying attention. Or worst you choose to forget about it. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and not say the latter

And if you really want to bring the vita into it we could say that after being out in two regions for one week the game has already outsold all but 8 vita games. What a flop!

When you use words like trolling and fanboys in the same sentence then yes, that makes you once of those annoying users who frequent the site. The game is amazing yes, i can personally vouch for that having played it. I dont thonk anybody honestly thought one game was going to turn the fortunes of the wii u. It takes a lot of high quality releases and most probably another price cut, similar to what happened with the 3ds. Mario was not the reason the wii was popular you do realise that dont you? Yes they sold well but games like wii fit and wii sports are what hooked the casual fanbase originally.

i dont want to be "that guy" but after the relentless trolling of the Vita games by alot of Nintendo fanboys, i feel a bit of your own medicine is in order.
As amazing as this game looks n how well it has fared in reviews, its surely now time for Nintendo fanboys to open their eyes n realise that its NOT going to "save the WiiU" n the WiiU is in serious trouble.

This was meant to be the game that put WiiU right back to where the Wii was last gen. But, its just not got the mass casual market interest this time like Wii had. WiiUs aimed at core gamers n the majority of THAT market would much rather have a PS4 or X1.

I think sales are fine. Mario games rarely do gangbusters first week and we all know this well sell no less than 25k per week for the next 4 years.

Needs just 60k in Europe/Others to have a collective opening week of over 400k; not bad for a console with only a 4 million install base.

Of course not- Switch will get is own awesome unique HD Super Mario Games here. Shame though... playing 4 characters and the cat suit was genious... to bad requiring the gamepad for parts of each level was a shitty move in all respects. RIP Wii U... you will not be missed by anyone...except the people who bought you and lost out now that the Switch is not backwards compatible.
