Media Create sales week of 1/06

[Bodhesatva]

In case anyone wants a bit of amusement:

One of the other boards I frequent is 1up. On this board, one of the people who has been consistently anti-Wii was adamantly emphasizing the sales dips for the Wii during the 3rd quarter of the year in Japan, insisting that this showed "true" Wii demand and that soon, these drops would be experienced in other regions. Furthermore, the initial sales of Mario Galaxy became the jewel in his crown; the game initially sold well under Super Mario Sunshine in Japan (according to both Famitsu and Media Create), and he was absolutely insisting that this proves that demand is gone and that SMG would never pass Super Mario Sunshine, because "core" fans had abandoned Nintendo.

So, this week, Super Mario Galaxy passed the total sales of SMS in Japan, with room to spare and presumably hundreds of thousands more copies to sell in its lifetime, and everyone was rather quick to shove this information down the poster's throat. Even the admins got in on it. It's all rather delicious. Looky here!
