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:

Mario Galaxy still sold more than Halo

hmm  i was comparing the last games that came out and halo 3 which came out in 2007 still outsold mario glaxy 1 and 2 which were both  heavly bundled, but as you can see the last games from each respective franchise, halo 4 smoked it and it was only bundled in limited edition unlike galaxy 2 which got you a great deal on wii, the limited edition cost 350$ for halo 4.
