I think these low sales of Galaxy in the UK may be a huge worry for Nintendo. When I saw the thread title I assumed 70k was a huge number for UK only to see it's being way outsold by COD4 on 360 which is in its second week. It seems Wii owners just don't buy games. If Mario Galaxy and Metroid are unable to sell amazingly then what chance is there of third parties seeing anything even close to the success they are seing on 360. Nintendo is of course making a very healthy profit on hardware sales but with Wii owners not buying games at all there is little chance of third parties bringing their massive titles to the Wii when they can release it on 360 and easily port to PS3. This means in the long term Wii will probably never see the amazing sales success you would have expected given how fast it has been selling.
