Is Wii Number 1 for good?

I don't think many people will buy a 360 for Halo 3. Didn't many FPS lovers get it when GoW and Crackdown came out? So shouldn't MOST (not all) of the people who will get this game, already have the system? Like how I don't think Mario will sell many Wiis. People who will get that game most likely bought a Wii already.

I really don't think so about Mario Galaxy: you forget that only half of the past Gamecube owners (people we could call "Nintendo loyalists") have a Wii yet: nearly 12 millions Wii's worldwide vs 24 millions Gamecubes worldwide, still a long way to go, just to have the same userbase... and that's without counting the millions of "newcomers"...

And if you look at the worldwide sales of "New Super Mario Bros", well it's more than 10 millions: i really don't think all these Mario fans have already bought a Wii... maybe half of them, maybe... and i don't even mention all the people who've played the NES Mario Bros, and could buy that "great new Mario" for themselves, or for their kids...

So, Galaxy has the potential to increase the Wii userbase by millions... it will all depend on Nintendo's ability to produce way more for the holiday season... but if millions of Wii's are on the market, they will sell like crazy, and many, many people will buy Galaxy as well...
