Ah, yes, that would make the info completely useless, considering the huge gap between Galaxy and Galaxy 2 numbers.

More Mario numbers for reference:

Sunshine: 350k
Galaxy 2: 564k
New SMB Wii: 1.39M
New SMB U: 243k
3D World: 215k

Mario games are more like slow-burners, gaining their impressive sales over the long haul rather than blowing their wad month-one with huge launches and then having weak legs like so many other big AAA games do. Galaxy and Odyssey had by far the best launches of any 3D Mario game, but a million copies isn't exactly record-breaking. That being said, I do think SMO has the capacity to sell over 10 million copies lifetime. SM64 and Galaxy 1 are the best-selling 3D Mario games for home consoles, and they both sold over 11 million.

10 million is a safe bet.

Mario 64, Galaxy, 64 DS & 3D Land each sold 11-13 million.

Im gonna go ahead and say Odyssey will be the first to hit 15 million.
