"Super Mario Galaxy had the strongest one-week debut of any Wii game to date and has also become the best-selling Mario title ever in its first week, with U.S. sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "It makes an easy gift choice as the holiday shopping season kicks off."

Gahh... how do you check software weekly sales for games?

Do not lie to us Dolla, the game bombed. Wii fad is almost over.

It's true! All is lost!

 Oh no!!!

Rol is trolling again, I will call a mod. 

what will you call him?

ahhh me and my lame jokes..

... that don't even make sense in the context......

anyways.. good stuff for galaxy, just out of curiosity, what exactly is meant by 'internal sales figures'

awesome it deserves to sell alot

 Well said, Spam King.

I imagine internal sales figures is something like what NPD does but Nintendo would have feed back from almost 100% of the retail sector, I might be wrong, but it seems logical as if I was Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony I wouldn't rely purely on NPD and instead have there own figures.

ioi seemed to have confirm this theory when he stated that according to "Microsoft's data NPD is undertracking Xbox360 hardware & software"

Bod, do you have any idea if TRU pass sales data to Nintendo, sony and microsoft?

So now its Sony's turn to have a huge selling first party game.
