That's only for Japan, by the way.
I was really just giving my opinion, not a prediction on game sales.
At any rate, I have a few questions about those numbers. First of all, where did you get them? That's a pretty nice list there and I'd like to pull up things like that myself from time to time.
Also, are those really only for Japan? The reason I ask is because they list SNES and NES instead of Super Famicom and Famicom. That might just be translated for our convenience of course. The other issue is the SMB2 thing, which all of us here are well aware of because we are nerds. So, were they talking about OUR SMB2 or Japan's SMB2 (Lost Levels)? Either way, this leads to my final note.
I'd like to know about the few games not on that list (which seems to be of "Mario platformers"). First is the SNES release of Yoshi's Island (Super Mario World 2). They had the GBA version, but they listed both for the rest so I'd just like those numbers. Second is whatever version that SMB2 doesn't include. If that's Japan's SMB2, where's Super Mario USA (their version of our SMB2), and if that's our SMB2, where's Japan SMB2 (or Lost Levels or whatever they'd have to call it) on the list? I guess single screen arcady type games aren't being included either, like Mario Clash on VB or Mario Bros (original) or the DK games with Mario or the Mario vs DK games on various Gameboy systems.
If you could provide the link maybe those are on the site.
