I think you are really overestimating Mario's sales.

Super Mario Galaxy:

Japan- 1,800,000 (Not casual enough to sell more)
USA- 3,500,000 (Will sell very well but not even close to non traditional titles)
Others- 2,000,000 (Will sell well)
Total- 7,300,000

Halo 3:

Japan- 150,000 (Only 360 hardcore and some adopters)
USA- 8,000,000 (Biggest 360 game of the year)
Others- 1,500,000 (Will sell well in the UK and Australia and decent in other parts)
Total- 9,960,000

Keep in mind with Japan they have a Gateway effect. Games targeted to the hardcore will do well on a Nintendo system in Japan. Phantom Hourglass is an amazing example as it has sold thought the roof and has a high number of female players. Expect this to be big in Japan.
