Galaxy is a single player game & a console game. Both those catagories get more of their sales cannabilized by the trade-in market. It's especially bad since Nintendo's current policy is not to discount games unless they are being discontinued. Therefor Galaxy at least in Western markets has probably reached a fairly comparable number of homes as NSMB. In Japan I think NSMB's huge sales is largely based on nostagia.
