Mario and Sonic and Galaxy continue to do very well in Europe/Other.  Surprised at M&S because it has climbed in number each week to a very good 187,000.  Galaxy continues to sell really good in this region.  Seems there are no worries for Galaxy, it is going to do quite well over time.

Very well. Mario in general there right now is doing beastly. It seems unlike in Japan, the Mario brand picks no preferences to 3D or 2D eh.

Sega is not far away from the projected 4 millions copies of Sonic & Mario.

Well, the Wii version sure won't sell 4 millions, but don't forget the DS version coming next year... together they'll sell 4 millions for sure. 

Galaxy would be doing much better still if it was available. It's hard to get in the EU at the moment.

 3.2 million.

Thats not bad for a month for a Sega game.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that this has a lot to do with "The Olympics" meaning something very different in countries within Europe than it means to people in North America (and probably Japan). I have nothing to base this on except for that the most popular sports in "The Other's" region generally have their untimate competitions as being international competitions; and although the athletes are professionals, they are often not paid to compete.

Olympics are much bigger in other parts of the world,

America's 2 biggest sports are not well represented at the Olypics. Football and Baseball. There is no football, and baseball is played by college guys. In other countries Olympic medalist are worshipped for the ever, in America you might get the wheaties box, but soon many will not care.

Branding appears to be big in Europe. Sonic+Mario+Olympics+Nintendo=smash

Sega should go 2nd party. If Nintendo keeps handing Sega locks like these they may actually survive.

Sega + Nintendo has been the dream of many many gamers for almost 20 years, Sega is weak now, but a Nintendo partnership may help bring them back!!!!!
