Super Mario Galaxy bombs in Japan - only sells 130,000 on day 1

vgchartz.com — The headline might be a bit harsh but compared to expectations of 500,000 - 750,000 at launch it looks like Mario Galaxy is set to disappoint. First day sales of New Super Mario Bros for comparison were around 400,000 to give a week one of 900,000. Hopefully this latest installment in the Mario series will have similar legs to the others.

My suggestion would be to wait for the data to come in. At present, I'm not confident of the source. We should also wait to see how the weekend pans out. Launching on a Thursday is obviously not going to help matters along. The word bomb is also not really applicable here, in that we haven't had long enough to see if it fails to sell.

I'm not trying to cause trouble but the game bombed hard. It was expected to do 2-3 times that much, how can anyone say it didn't bomb?

Neos. what you talking bout dude?

This is flame bait, if I have ever seen it. Considering the demographic, its still on target for 500k sales week#1.

Thursday - 130k
End of weekend - 450k
End of week - 600k

Just you watch...

If the 130K first day sales prove to be correct, I wouldnt say I would be excited about that resulteither. Yes, the long term will determin whether the game is a success, but its not really glorious day one sales numbers by any means.
