Analyst: New Super Mario Bros. Wii is "off to a good start"
Published on
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.
