Will Mario Galaxy outsell Halo 3?

It will...eventually. Halo 3 doesn't have legs (it will go unnoticed in 3 months sales wise) but Mario galaxy will continue for a very long time.

After all, if Mario Party 8 can stay in the charts as long as it has and New Super Mario Bros was up there forever, how long do you think Super Mario Galaxy will stay up there?

I gotta disagree with you there. Halo 2 has been a mainstay on the top 200 since this site began. It may have dropped off with Halo 3's release (havn't checked) but I'd expect 3 to have similar legs as 2 did. Still, it won't have SMG legs...

Halo 2's legs continued because it was BC on the 360, and a lot of the 360 owners weren't Xbox owners previously.  Which opened up an extended market for the title, not to mention with the impending Halo 3, that also would give the game a little more of a push.  Otherwise if there was no BC on 360, the game probably would have faded into oblivion sales wise, due to the Xbox being faded out.
