For reference, Sunshine sold 280,000 in its first week on sale back on the system that has now only just sold over four million. Now, with the Wii at about 3.7 million, Super Mario Galaxy has sold about 130,000 on its first day! New Super Mario Bros. whipped through 900,000 units in its first week on DS last year though.

 

@shams If this is true, then I am completely wrong. And everyone can go back to being just as disappointed in the sales figures. But these predictions are for the week ending november 4 (which only includes 3 days of SMG). They are not looking forward to this week's sales. See what I mean?

Oh sure - my apologies, I see what you mean now.

I still don't think it matters - most games launch around the same point of the week, and have similar sales curves. If they were different, you would see more games selling as much in week#2 as they do in week#1 - and that never happens.
