Do you think SMG can pass SM64 in sales?

I think Galaxy will pass SM64... but not a lot!

Although it remains 5 millions, Galaxy is a "long-seller" like New Super Mario Bros.

Because, if you look the charts of NSMB, you can look that after its first year, there were 9.6 millions units sold and more DS. Today, there are 15 millions units sold and the game is selling well.

So, Super Mario Galaxy is not yet sold in bundle (not yet or never?), the game released only 8 months ago, no cut price, only one christmas...

However, SMG would pass by far SM64 if the Japan has bought SMG... because, Galaxy is not yet million-sellers in Japan, when NSMB has sold 5.5m units! And even, Mario64 sold 2m units, whereas there were less N64 than Wii...

 

Agreed about that last part. The fact that it sold only 1 million in Japan makes me a little skeptical. Another million from Japan would have really helped. But I still think in can reach 12 million. I mean it already passed Super Mario Sunshine total sales in less than a year!

 

Anyway, it seems like it will be close. We are going to have to wait and see how it sells in the coming years.
