Sega forecast that 4 million copies of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games will be sold...
Bloomberg reports that Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, available on the Nintendo Wii and DS this Christmas, will sell 4 million copies for Sega. If achieved, this feat would equal 20% of Sega's total game sales for the financial year ending March 31st 2007.
Masanao Maeda, a Corporate Director at Sega, announced this positive forecast at the Tokyo Game Show, but declined to confirm a time period for reaching these sales figures. Perhaps Sega expect a sales resurgence for the title during next summer's Beijing Olympics, the logo for which will be carried on the game.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is truly an historic moment in videogames history, pitting what are arguably the two most iconic games characters against each other for the first time ever. This new forecast suggests that the title will sell the same amount of copies as the original Sonic the Hedgehog title from 1991, which saw releases on Sega's Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System and Game Gear consoles.

the n64 (ultra 64) was made in 1997 just after the snes era which lasted quite some time till sony killed off nintendo (if only sony knew nintendo would bounce back as well as they have maybe they might have made a console that doesnt cost so much to make as they did)

Surely this is THEE best new game to hit us since Super Mario Allstars on SNES??? Only had this game since tuesday, but already completely and utterly addicted. I just can't get enough. Amazing graphics, amazing variety of games to compete in, a very wide and varied choice of characters (and best of all, you can even take your own Mii character to the olympics!!!!), amazing sound effects, and most of all, immense amounts of fun. Think about all the chocolate you could give the worlds hugest chocolate lover, or all the shoes and handbags you could give to your mother, imagine all the sports memorbillia and alcohol beverages your dad could ever wish for, or just imagine all your birthdays and christmas's just came at once! That's seriously how much fun and enjoyment i'm getting from Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. My favourite games so far are deffinately Long Jump, and 100m Swimming.. However all of the mini games have become highly addictive and entertaining wether playing by myself, with friends, or even with the family! Suitable for all players at all levels, i'd say this game is without doubt a MUST buy... and if you're too skint to buy it now, deffinately add it to your Christmas Wish List!!! Mario or Sonic?? Whichever team you're on, you're gauranteed to have hours and hours of fun, entertainment, laughter and giggles, and a lot of competing!!! If the game entered the olympics, without a doubt it'd be miles ahead of everyone else and straight in with the GOLD!!!
