Fantastic game, better and longer than Super Mario Galaxy.

I think it didn't sell more, because it is the exploration type of platformer and not primarily about skill like NSMB Wii.

We've seen the same thing (much lower sales) happening in the past with games like Wario Land on GB and Yoshi's Island on SNES. Don't forget that these games were numbered entries in the Mario series despite being spinoffs.

I think that I might agree with you being better than Super Mario Galaxy.  While Super Mario Galaxy initially impresses more than Wario Land: Shake It!, after playing through it twice with Mario and Luigi I feel that I've seen all there is to see.  After playing Wario Land's levels several times, I know that there is plenty more to it. 

Anyone that says that the game is not long enough, has not tried to truely complete the game.
