even though i think zelda and mario are amazing, they are not really the huge system sellers they once were, just look at the sales of zelda skysword on npd and the euro chartz they were pathetic and look at mario galaxy 2 sales they not really impressive cause when you consider its first 10 weeks on the market vs say halo 4,

halo 4: 7.5 million first ten weeks

mario galaxy 2: 3.5 million first ten weeks

The first ten weeks a very important it show how important that franshise is, that they willing to pay full price for it and will buy a console for that game, not just buy it a bargain bin or bundle.


But in the end:

1 Super Mario Galaxy Wii 2007 Platform Nintendo 5.81 3.17 1.20 0.69 10.87
1 Halo 4 X360 2012 Shooter Microsoft Game Studios 5.89 1.91 0.04 0.62 8.46

Mario Galaxy still sold more than Halo


Not only that, Nintendo software sells at full MSRP or longer periods than their competitors. For example, Mario Kart was selling at full price on WIi for years.
