In his second sales prediction of the day, the first one being about Modern Warfare 2, industry crystal ball Michael Pachter reckons the sales of Nintendo’s upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii will “shock.”
“This game defines the NintenDad, it defines him,” the Wedbush analyst said on Bonus Round. “So yeah the bored housewife bought WiiFit to get in shape and do yoga [but] this is the first game that I’ve seen on any Nintendo system that’s complete throwback that I can play with my kids. As a NintenDad, I’m psyched to play this game.”
Pachter notes that the attach rate doesn’t need to be big at all considering there are 60 million Wiis out there and, while not dishing out an exact number, predicts, “It’s gonna shock you how many units that thing sells.”

How big of a shock? Getting a normal everyday shock? Touching an electric fence? Getting stuck by lightning? HOW BIG! I can almost tell you with a straight face that not all 60 million will be buying this game…almost… Make a splash, Mario! With your girth should make a big one…but how big?

i think it will be yet another ‘evergree’ title that will push at least 18 mil. Now where’s my true Super Mario World follow-up. That would have the potential to break records!
