I don't understand the Japanese market & reaction to Galaxy sales. Might you - its still selling better than just about *every* other console title this year in Japan.

(its already hit the total sales, of the best selling PS3 title - after 2 weeks).

They might just be waiting for the holidays - only time will tell.

I'm fairly confident sales in the US will be a little stronger ;)

it did nto beat the best selling ps3 title yet. still about 100k , hsg even sells 7k every week :)

You are right - it still has another 40k (1 week) to go :)

@Montana:

Sunshine/Galaxy had a similar drop-off so far - Sunshine just had a higher debut. At least week#2 for Galaxy is still between weeks #2 & #3 for Sunshine.

You can see a significant difference (for instance) when comparing EG5 & EG3 sales for instance. EG5 is easily the better game btw:

(EG5 week#2 is around EG3 weeks #5 & week#6. After 16 weeks, EG5 has not reached sales of EG3 week#2. Be interesting to see how Mario goes - with Xmas around the corner)
