Your post got me running numbers. Apparently VGChartz has overtracked Super Mario Galaxy 2 or they are pulling numbers from elsewhere and not updating the numbers on the individual game's page.

For example, for "Worldwide Top 10 June 12th 2010," Super Mario Galaxy is number 1 at 507,869 units sold.

However, if you lsearch or click on Super Mario Galaxy 2 in that very same chart, the numbers for Week 3 run this:

Americas - 174,923

Japan - 74,594

Europe Middle East Asia Africa (EMEAA) - N/A

Worldwide - 249,517

Total - 499,034

What accounts for the discrepancy? Furthermore, if you have the Americas, Japan, and EMEAA, then what is the "Worldwide" category of sales pertaining to? Antartica? Santa Claus and the elves in the North Pole?

It launched earlier in Japan, so the worldwide chart will show week 3 in Japan and week 2 in America etc.
