If this has bombed, it's not like Galaxy 3 would do much better.

since when do we only count first day sales?

I think I'll wait determin this until we get MC numbers. Percenages doesn't really say too much right now. There can be many factors playing in. At the same time it isn't a good sign.

Don't Mario games tend to sell way less in Japan anyway?

3d console Marios sell less but it should sell well after actually being a week on shelves

OT: why didn't this game sell on a weekend like they usually do?

If Super Mario 3D World flopped then there is nothing else Nintendo can do...

if it does indeed flopp then they should wait a couple of years before they release anything with a Mario in the title

we've had 4 Mario games already with two 2d and two 3D and that's not even counting Luigi

if people get too much of something they will stop wanting it no matter how good it is

Wii had almost 5 times the install base and Galaxy 2 sold what, less than 2m more?

As a last resort should it need to be, I'd bank on a 'New' Super Mario World.

Some of these people just want Nintendo to fail for some strange reason.

It'll sell well over a long period of time, though. I can't see it helping Wii U any less than 3D Land helped 3DS in it's infancy. It's exactly the kind of game the Wii U needs right now.
