Mario and Sonic Will Sell 4 Million News

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.
