It is likely. SMG2 have about 550 000 preorders in America = 750-800k first week

Japan = 143k first day = 250k to 275k first week

UK is set to have the biggest Mario game launch in history

ok, so it did well indeed.
I still have some doubts, like the fact that this game won't benefit from holiday sales

Another 100 from Eurogamer Spain.

I just beat the final Bowser, and I must say that this game is even better than the first. Simply incredible.

Also, put Sky Station Galaxy as my favorite track! Shivers every time.

I'm at world 4! So far this game is just orgasmic.

And I think Space Storm Galaxy's music is one of the best. It was so epic! Completely threw me by surprise when I started the level.

*Spoiler*
Slowing down time is one of the most awesome things I've seen in a Mario game, I also love how the music changes when you do it.

FINALLY got my game in the mail yesterday, and I'm already 28 stars in. Game is just so much fun and addictive. EVERY star is a completely new experience, so it keeps you coming back without getting repetitive and makes you want to find out what's next. I love the new powerups, and Yoshi kicks ass!

This is easilly the best 3D Mario game since Mario 64, and it may even be better, if only it weren't for my unbreakable nostalgia tied to Mario 64, which makes it maybe makes the game seem a little better than it really is.

bah I lost the bet already (hides from rainbow yoshi)

what bet?

Space Storm is Buoy Base though, right? It was quite enchanting when the music changed to time slowing down, though.

I screamed myself horse at the Cosmic Clones in Chomp Factory star. It's quite fiendish on their part, introduce elements where you have to stand still and absolutely can't stand still at the same time.

@miz123: I told him Galaxy 2 will reach 99 meta, but there are more 9/10s and it's extremly unlikely
