Hate to say it because I'm a big fan of SEGA(as you can see by my name) but this game is a joke. Played at my friend's house for about 15 minuites and then went back to playing wii sports.

Four million doesn't look like such an ambitious sales number anymore. Sega knew what they were talking about.

Nay, I.3 million.

America= 550K
Europe= 650K
Japan= 150K

Total= 1.35 million, even without this weeks Japan figures up yet.

This game could push 1.6 million by Xmas.

The numbers look weird, but for most of us this is the first holiday season we're following closely with accurate numbers. I guess this is what the end-of-year shopping frenzy is supposed to look like.

Nice to have more third party millions sellers on the Wii, even though I'm not convinced if this one is any good.

This game started off bit slow, but it's getting some really good sales every week now. I had my doubts about it hitting a million so soon with it's sales, but the sale numbers have shot right up. It will definitely get to a million now.

Glad to see Sega seeing some profits from this game; I don't get why people say this game is rubbish; while not stellar, it's very good fun with 4 people (It doesn't try to offer incredible depth or epic single player, it's just shallow fun)

@tombi123: LOL. But you are right, it's very uncommon, that the sales increase instead of decrese. I think this title gets good word of mouth and the casual gamers that are the target group are buying more and more with the upcoming christmas.

The 'others' sales graph is exponential, therefore this game will sell an infinite amount of copies lifetime.

Parokki posted 12/12/2007, 02:44
Based on sales so far this is definitely a million seller. Good legs and olympic hype could push it to two million, and nobody is sure if the 4 million figure from Sega included the DS version.

Still haven't played it, but I don't think I'm going to like it. Minigames, sports, and the post-Megadrive Sonic characters are all major turn-offs for me.

This game gets many advertisement in TV here in germany. One of the biggest TV-channels here (RTL) has this game declared as it's 'game of the week'. Sega invests some money into getting good numbers. A question: Is Sega making it's 4 million sales-forecast for this game alone or including the DS-version (http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7708)?

@Yajimari21: Thanks, multiplayer experience is the ting I'm looking for. I think I will buy it (uh, it's expensive) and will add myself to the incredible european number.

@MontanaHatchet: So quiet recently. This game sells incredibly in europe. And the numbers are increasing.

on the topic of sales. This game will cruise past 1 million with absolute ease. Will be there before the year is up. I predict this game will be past 2 million by the time the Olympics hits, and anything could happen at that point...

4 million is a definite possibility, but Sega need to play their cards right, and get some good advertising done at the Olympics.

I think most publishers would love to see the sales this game has gotten so far. I wouldn't write it off yet, this game appears to have legs. Also, you have to remember that people outside of the "game world" don't read reviews of games. They buy a game because it interests them by either word of mouth or by going to the store and looking at boxes. People my age who don't follow the reviews etc. will see Mario Vs. Sonic, think back to their youth and pick the game up. I think it's very possible that this game outsells Mario Party 8.

This game could have impressive legs that sees it sell at very high levels until the Olympics. I'm not sure whether it'll sell 4m copies but it should be good for at least 2m.

The game could do really well actually ... seeing that it had allready passed the 400k with the EU numbers , and that it has one strong holiday before it , and pretty low sales drop , if any , this game could reach 4 million lifetime :)

i think 3 million wuld be more realistic. But its selling good till now, if it can reach 1 mil in US alone, that would be spectatcular, but i see it at abt 600-800k which aint too bad

The gamerankings on this game are way off because there aren't many reviews and some of them are just idiotic rants against waggle. IGN has the best review.

4m is not impossible at all... I'd even say the Wii version could reach a million by the end of this year. World wide sales were > 200.000 this week, and will likely remain in the 150.000 range until Christmas.
Maybe 1.5 - 2m lifetime. The DS version might sell even better because of the bigger userbase; let's say 2 - 2.5m lifetime. There you are :)

@ MMementh- the game is okay and is really fun if you have 3 other people! Relays especiallys. Single Player experience is kinda lame, and the vault is absolutely awful in this game (SO much better in the 2004 Athens olympic game for PS2-- lol ) and they could have had more gymnastics, but if you can get enough people, this game is a great buy!

M&S >>> MP8 (if that's says anything at all, lol)

I agree with Montanna that this game will hardly live up to Sega's expectations (I wonder if this game's falter has anything to do with Sega's recent prediction of the Wii comming in last this gen). It will be lucky to sell a million.

But yeah, Montanna, play it first, from Sega's expectations they put too much work into this to be just a cash in.

Oddly enough I would have been more surprised if the game did sell well. I had little expectation for this title.

Kasz216 posted 25/11/2007, 07:09
But have you actually played it?

A 69.3% would make it the best Olympics game ever I think.

Of course that's because every Olympics game till now has been 20 events where you had to either alternate pressing A and B or alternate pressing B and A.

I'll probably pick it up some time next year myself.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

6.0 from Gamespot-"Mario and Sonics' debut as a duo fails to earn them a spot on the medal stand."

7.9 from IGN:"Nintendo and SEGA host a mascot mash-up in this entertaining, surprisingly addictive ode to the Olympic games."

69.3% from Gamerankings

My verdict: Cheap cash in.
