I still believe that Mario Galaxy will end up as the top-selling standalone Wii game at the end of this generation. Mario Kart would probably have the best chance of passing it. As you can see from looking at the weekly charts, Mario games sell in ridiculous amounts LONG after their release dates. Games like Brawl and Zelda simply don't have the same mass market appeal. (Yes, Brawl is tracking far above Galaxy at the moment - but that's because it's a much more frontloaded series.)

There's also essentially nil chance that any Zelda game will reach 10m in sales. None of the previous Zelda games have ever come even close to that mark. It's yet another series that isn't (quite) as big as video game fans seem to think.
