When sales of Wii consoles go up sales of great old games go up. People who already own a Wii have passed on previously released games while new owners are gonna look at the back catalog of Wii games to start their colection and pick up great games like Mario Galaxy being the third Highest rated game of all time.

mario should get a good boost in Japan in the next 2 weeks, older games come back with a vengeance there for some reason... look at Wario Ware last year... Hopefully it will get the 5k it needs (with rounding : ) to get 1 mil there.

Awesome game. Shows the Wii is very capable under the hood. I agree with Smoked, I still feel the 64 classic is the best 3-d iteration of Mario, but this game is definitely a close 2nd.

There's nothing wrong with underwater controls, the fireballs only miss if you have bad aim, and even though jumping on enemies is a breeze, you can do a homing stomp as an alternative.

@SmokedHostage
i find it simple myself, but for people that are used to simpler controls (i.e. lock on for fire balls) may find it hard. also, when your in the water levels youcant swim towards the screen. but that would be fixed if there was another anolog stick on the wii remote for the camera

@metalgearmatt WUT?!?! In my experience, the water levels are best in any 3D Mario game, Koopa Shells aside. Also jumping on enemies is a breeze and on par with 64. As for the fireball, they bounce.. time them better.

Probably won't match up to Super Mario 64 sales, but it's already up to really respectable sales, and they just keep growing.

looks like the holiday boost is starting to seep in on this one.

Was selling 25k a week for a little while there, now nearing 40k, should be over 75k a week starting mid nov, and sell over 100k 2-3 weeks. Should gain 600-750k from now until holiday rush subsides.

Maybe if it really rebounds we may reach be looking at Galaxy over 8 mil, by mid Jan... But for now I am hopeful we see it at least 7.65-7.75m

Yep and selling about 30k a week so will be at about 7.2 million before we hit Novemeber. Then my guess is it will sell about 800k in the rest of that time considering its a huge holiday title so 8 million probably by the end of the year.

It's questionable if it'll ever make 10 million considering I thought this would have better legs.

I am sure it will get a significant boost this Christmas, and a price cut would really help boost sales (Nintendo should bring out Player's Choice titles soon). But it seems like now it is being overshadowed by the big 3 monsters: Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Wii Fit.

It doesn't need a bundle considering its still selling around 80-100k a week months 6 months after launch.

It has outsold Mario Sunshine and has a shot .... at Mario 64, though I think it will come up a short by 1 or 2 million when all is said and done.

Either way, Nintendo has to be THRILLED with Mario Galaxy's performance so far ...

And its sells will be very strong during the holidays 08 aswell.

As for bundles, Wii Sports seems to be doing a pretty good job selling the Wii, so that is not going to happen.

Well, 11ht11 it depends on which genre is more your thing. If platforming and Mario games have always been a must for you, by all means get SMG first. If previous MP games have made you a convert into the First Person Adventure (FPA) sub-genre, MP3 is your option. But as Kihnio said, if you can you should definetly get both (and then Super Paper Mario, Batallion Wars II and Fire Emblem).

this game will easily pass 10 million and it will most likely kick halo's ass!!!!! remember, wii's userbase is expanding to new and explosive heights! i expect around 11.5 million at the end of the gen. (which is about 500,000 within range of super mario 64!)

10 million is almost certain in my opinion, it think it will sell 100k+ for at least an other 15 weeks (average) I think SSBB and SMG will help each other, so that's already 1.5 million+. then it will take a while before it tracks 50k a week, and that will continue for a very long time and I believe it will never be under 25k this generation (NSMB like legs).

and I made a mess of this post but I am to lazy to correct it.

I dont think this game will even drop out of the top 20 before it reaches 7 million... Some time this summer...

People will buy this game side by side with SSBB or Wii.

Everyone who buys a wii for brawl will want a single player game to play when friends aren't around. I think this phenom will affect TP, and MP3 to a degree also.. But SMG has the most hype and is the newest so I see it being the top choice. The only game that will cut into SMG's sale is Mario Kart.

Superb game, and its sales have been stunning all over the world. If it has sold 3M so quickly, and its legs prove to be as long as most Nintendo and in particular Mario games are, then this game will easily become one of the biggest sellers of all time. The Zelda franchise, though extremely popular, always finishes a distant second to Mario, and so far Twilight Princess has sold over 5.5M copies between the Wii and the 'Cube. I really do think this game has the potential to sell 10M or more. If Mario 64 can do it, I am sure Galaxy can.

Nintendo says 12.59m as of september 30.

Lower than Brawl again now, but yeah, still undertracked by at least a million.

Undertracked by over a million copies. I was pretty surprised to discover this sold more than Brawl according to Nintendo. Definetely deserved.

Seems pretty heavily under tracked indeed. Nintendo has it at 12.22m as of April. Should at least be nearing 12m in real life by now. If it is at 12m, that means it finally overtook Super Mario 64 as the best selling 3D Mario game!
