While I don't think that these sales are near as good as expected for SMG, the pokemon dungeon game for the DS sold about 150% more than it's initial sales during the subsequent week, which leaves Galaxy at about 300k for the first week. You're right about Pokemon Dungeon numbers. I don't know why its week numbers were as much higher than first day but it's not a common situation. And I'm not sure if DS is the best example - after all it has 20 million userbase while Wii lest than 4 million. And even if MG would end with 300k - it's still much less than most people expected. |
It's a kids game. Most parents don't want to go to Toys R Us or Gamestop in the middle of the weak and make the 8-15 year olds wait until atleast friday after school. Also they'd rather their kids get a "must play all the time" game on the weekend, so the intense gaming that happens in the first couple days doesn't effect their school work as much.
It's even more a kids game then the main Pokemon series. Mario Galaxy while it sells to kids isn't that much of a kids game however.
