Colin Sebastian, analyst for Lazard Capital Markets, has revealed in the firm's latest note to investors that sales of New Super Mario Bros Wii are "off to a good start after three days at retail".

This information was obtained through a meeting with Nintendo yesterday, and while sales for the game are moving in a positive direction, Sebastian is unsure if the title has make a dent in "incremental hardware sales".

The analyst feels that the next 12-months are integral for Nintendo, and positive sales will depend on the software line-up for the next year. However, he claims that the gaming giant remains "upbeat" regarding 2010 and that the company plans to be "more vigilant" in the fight against piracy.
