You can't expect Mario Galaxy to have the same explosive first day and first week sales as Halo 3. It didn't have its own fucking Gamer Fuel. It didn't have YEARS OF HYPE. And the Wii isn't the MarioBox like the 360 is the HaloBox. And Mario has very broad appeal which will lead to very long legs. People will be buying Galaxy along with the Wii for years to come. It's already selling faster than any other Mario game, and might even catch up to Halo 3 next Christmas. Who knows. But (I hope) nobody expected October to be Mario month like September was Halo month.
