......Did anyone notice that *maybe*, just maybe the Wii sale increase was due to the holiday increases rather than SMG?

After all, the X360, DS, PS3 and PSP all increased too.

You crazy kids, you failed to look at anything else before calling the Wii increase due to SMG! Sigh. When will you learn...

Sigh, to say such a thing on a sales website.

  WiiPS3 Xbox360 PSP  DS
week 45 84 72 56 60 246
week 46 133 79 64 64 281

A 58 percent increase for the Wii, with 9% for PS3, 14% for Xbox, 6% for PSP, 14% for DS

You should check out the facts before you try to discredit someone. Silly fanboy.

Edit : Wow I was late.

Appears games like Assassin's Creed and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2nd week) are greatly outselling Mario Galaxy's launch in Europe (well at least based on UK and Irish data where it was ranked 8th). I thought Mario Galaxy would top the charts, despite I don't prefer using a Wii-mote for this kind of game and don't like the upside down platforming on micro worlds myself. The Japanese launch was below expectations as well with Dynasty Warriors 6 for the PS3 selling 30K more at launch than Mario Galaxy did.

Maybe a Wii Sports 2 or releasing a Deluxe version may be a better option for Nintendo.

It looks like the Irish chart (at least on Charttrack) is for all formats, ie sales for all the available formats added together for a game. So you won't get much information for that chart.

And it's 3rd on the UK chart, outsold only by COD4 and Assassin's Creed on the X360.

@mrstickball: I think everyone knows. Lovely negativity by the way and a lovely condescending tone. another job well done.

@mikeB: go play with Tetsuo. Maybe the two of you can hold each other closely and tell each other how bad wii games are doing and that the wii is a fad and will go away.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

@ Faxanadu

FYI, I like the Wii and Wii Sports. I only said Mario Galaxy seems to be performing sales wise below expectations I love Mario64 and Super Mario World, owned a Snes and N64, me and my girlfriend both own and love our Nintendo DSs and love New Super Mario Bros! Am I now entitled to state my opinion?
