Both Mario64 and Sunshine started at around 300k first week which I think Galaxy will reach and maybe pass.

That is also a good point.

Maybe all of our expectations are just unrealistic for the market? I remember someone quoting Sunshine sales as "the most disappointing thing of the year" (years back now).

Mario 64 was a little different though - it was a launch title, so there wasn't a huge install base to cater to.

...

In my opinion, if Galaxy on the Wii doesn't sell well in Japan - Japan has well and truly gone off consoles. It doesn't bode well for the sales of any other console titles (for any platform). Time to port MGS4 to the DS & PSP :P

(it might also be a pricing thing - maybe Ninty needs to bundle Galaxy with a cheaper Wii? The Wii is still "relatively" pricey there?).


I also think that it will do better then Sunshine but since Mario when 3D it has never reach as much people as when it was 2D the one on DS was also kind of 2D. I don't think that Sunshine had a disappointing start it's just that it didn't have the legs. A lot of problem with Mario in 3D is the motion sickness and with Galaxy some of those issues have been corrected so I guess that when more peoples will have the chance to try it out they'll buy it.
