I can't say i'm surprised (we already know the current NS install base is very quick to jump on new Nintendo releases, and 3D Mario is one of their biggest), but mightily impressive none the less. It should be clear sailing to 10 million.

Actually should be a surprised. I think super mario galaxy did around 2mil sell thru in its first month. But hey what do i kno :p

I was surprised when more than a third of Switch owners bought an MK8 port at launch. Why would i then be surprised that a brand new game that's been swarmed in rave reviews and has frequently been at the centre of Switch marketing since before its launch manages something similar?

This is the 4th time in a row a major Switch release has been a 'surprise' relative to its predecessors. Why would i still be using that as the basis for my expectations? Not every big success has to be a shock :p

Is this outpacing Destiny 2?

PS4 version, yes. Both versions combined, probably not.

I am one of the lucky few and I am not going to lie... that Jump Up Superstar theme sold me on the game.

You and me both. I've caught myself singing it while walking the dog.

Is this the fastest selling Mario game yet?

For a 3D Mario it definitely seems likely, but not overall. NSMBWii sold over 2 million FW when launches are aligned, for instance.

That was before digital was an option on Nintendo consoles, however.  It may surpass it FW with eShop sales.  

Also keep in mind the Odyssey-Switch bundle was a digital copy.

Mighty impressive!

If they do with the 2D Mario what they did with the 3D one... :)

that's what happens when you have the most powerfull Ip on the industry in a popular console.Awesome news,but i'm not surprised,really.

Mario is not only the mascot for Nintendo, but the defacto mascot for video games as a whole.

Pretty cool. My 15 mil prediction becomes more likely as the days progress.
