Yeah, but I think you have to pay to suscribe, which I don't know if I really want.

considering the preorders stood about 150 000 next time with 64 000+ preorders in the week, Galaxy 2 will overtake the first one.

Hard to say which audiences this is going to appeal to.
On the one hand, they're trying to lower the entry barrier for new gamers: By designing the "overworld" similar to NSMBWii's classic approach.
On the other hand they said the game is going to be harder than Galaxy 1, assuming that most players will have developed their skills playing the first game.

I HOPE it will be huge. SMG1 should have had sales on par with NSMBWii.

Metacritic: I don't think it will be rated as good as SMG1, simply because most reviewers will deduct points for being less innovative. Prepare to read the following sentence a hunderd times:
"It's a blast, bursting with ideas and endless hours of pure unadulterated fun (...) still, it fails to wow us quite like the first one did, and we can't help but feel that Nintendo is being a bit lazyblablabla... 8/10"

Yoshi will allow the sales to surpass the sales of the original Super Mario Galaxy.

^^ LOL, so true!

just Yoshi being on the box makes the game look that much more appealing :p

XD Yoshi is a selling beast!

Okay! Sorry for the late reply... but I've finally come up with the numbers necessary to complete the chart under my name! Huzzah!

First Week (Do-over!): 647,996 (NA) 206,722 (Others) 279,427 (Japan) = 1,134,145
Second Week: 326,485 (NA) 161,935 (Others) 68,972 (Japan) = 557,392
January 1st: 3,297,428 (NA) 1,724,886 (Others) 867,462 (Japan) = 5,889,776
MetaCritic: 95
GameRankings: 95.87

Believe it!

Thanks Smeags!

Hope all of your predictions are false so Galaxy 2 would be selling more.

Some sources say there will be a princess kidnapped in Super Mario Galaxy 2, but they didn't point out whose was going to be the damsel in distress: wether Peach or Rosalina.

I hope it's Rosalina.

Lazy, kidding Ill fill you in on the details.
