Super Mario Galaxy? Not a system seller? Are we talking about the game that won nearly every game of the year award, and is the highest rated game of this generation?

GTA 4?

Galaxy came out in 2007.  GTA 4 came out in 2008.  They both won a lot of awards, but in different years.

As for rating, it goes:

LoZ: OoT, N64 - 97.61

GTA 4, PS3 -  97.29

Galaxy, Wii - 97.28

Super Mario World, SNES - 96.70

Metroid Prime, GC - 96.33

GTA 4, 360 - 96.28

That's pretty close at the top.
