- eighth fastest selling video game in UK history.

- Sales were greater than first week sales of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Strikers, Mario Party 8 and Super Paper Mario combined

So, how much is it? Any estimate?

Well, M&S, MP8, and Strikers are games that don't sell very well at the beginning, but have great legs, so I could understand that. However, to outsell SPM and Galaxy first week combined is a feat in itself, and including the other 3 games is just incredible. I guess they really like their racers.

I read this a little bit ago on NeoGaf. That's just insane if true.

The information about outselling all those games combined was for UK only, right? It doesn't mean it happened in all countries, so let's wait and see. I hope it's the case though :)
