actually selling 300k in the first week then ending up with 500k isn't all that uncommon. Perhaps you are used to how sales work in the west but in Japan things are different. DQ swords sold over 300k the first week and is struggling to get to 500k, it'll probably barely make it to 500k LTD. With that said, Mario Galaxy isn't that type of game that is front loaded, like mario 64, sunshide, NSMB, mario party etc this game will continue to sell for quite a while. I expect somewhere between 1-1.2 million LTD for galaxy in japan.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
