Those aren't great numbers, but Mario games tend to have legs. Wii U is in tough in Japan, hasn't even NSMBU only sold about 600k there? We know the Japanese pretty strongly prefer 2D Mario.

I think Super Mario Galaxy 3 is in development either way already for November 2015, my worry is that Nintendo will switch it to the larger userbase of the 3DS and leave the Wii U hanging. That would piss me off. 

If the third highest rated Nintendo game in 2 generations of consoles and handhelds isn't fan service I don't know what is ;)

Im guessing it had a shipment of 500k, so 100k on the first day and 150k for Media Create FW

Some of these threads have to be honest to god trolling. Seriously.

The game just fuckin' came out. And people need to QUIT talking about/asking for a "Galaxy 3". If you want another new 3D Mario later this gen on Wii U, fine. But we do NOT need a third fuckin' romp in space. How about something different, or old school, for a change? 3D World is great, by the way.

Ferchristsake.

And... close topic.

here's a bet
3D world vs sunshine WW
you name the rules

I'm pretty sure another 3D Mario is in development as we speak. I'm not sure if that means "Galaxy 3" exactly, but I'll just refer to it as such as it would be spiritual sequel to the Galaxy games.

Note that Miyamoto has gone out of his way to say a "Galaxy 3" is something that could still very well happen and usually when he starts making statements like that it's kind of a wink, wink, nudge, nudge clue to mean "we're already working on it" (just like when he was saying Pikmin sure would benefit from HD, and Pikmin 3 was later announced as a Wii U game).

Also oddly Mario 3D World won't have any DLC like NSMBU did, which to me suggests they are already working on another Mario game as 3D World wrapped up, and are taking any ideas left over (which seem to happen to EAD Tokyo a lot) and simply putting them into the next Mario game rather than considering DLC.

And just the tone I get from the Iwata Asks on 3D World is like "we were going to make Galaxy 3, but wanted to do this detour of a multiplayer 3D Land for consoles first".

Yes we will get a Galaxy 3, but it will be on 3DS lolz!

I can see that happening. Nintendo logic :/

I can't say for sure but nintendo seem to give the likes of Miyamoto a lot of creative freedom, so I guess it comes down in part to whether he wants to do one, or if he is willing to let someone else have a go
