I wonder how old the data from the Investor Relations is.

Because VGC and Nintendo usually are pretty close in numbers.

Mike from Morgantown

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

In the US meaning America alone but that 1.2M in NA means North America as in the hwole continent including Canada and Mexico.

that is what I said in the OP. 300k for mexico and canada is way too much.

I don't think it's too much for those two countries, both are quite big, and they have quite a loyal Nintendo following (at least Mexico does)

I don't hate Galaxy 2, I hate the people behind it.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was sent out on the mission to make 3D Mario sell like 2D Mario. Again. Nintendo even ships the game with a tutorial DVD that is more of an insult than actual help to most people. It's things like this that make it plausible that some people inside Nintendo want 3D Mario to replace 2D Mario, but that's never going to happen.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be a failure and end up at about 5-6 million in lifetime sales. That makes me happy, because hopefully this time Nintendo finally realizes that it's impossible to make 3D Mario sell like 2D Mario, no matter what they do.

I don't think Iwata is under any illusions, nor has he been for the past seven months.

I know. Iwata is the man who is going to force Miyamoto and his minions to make more 2D Mario, whether they want to or not. But I think some of the developers at Nintendo really needed another slap in their face to realize that it is indeed impossible.

It's not all about sales, man. Quality-wise, Galaxy 2 stomps all over NSMBWii. It's people like you that keep encouraging Nintendo to continue developing cheap crap instead of what they're capable of.

You don't want to start this fight, man. Leave it.
