To be fair i never expected it to sell so much so quickly, i never saw the million plus a week, although i saw huge legs for the game. What blew me away is how well it's doing after just a couple weeks.

I did predict 20 million though.

I always knew it would. 2D Mario is much bigger in Japan than 3D. As a result it had to sell higher as the other markets would, at worst, perform equally. I expected over 10 million based on the performance of the DS game. I did not expect the current sales rate though. The sales are simply absurd. I severely under estimated how quickly it would achieve the milestones I knew it would.

Saleswise, I was never comparing it.

When crunching the numbers, I always calculated things so that NSMB Wii would outsell Mario Kart Wii by 10% weekly. Galaxy was going to be outsold quickly.

I expect it to sell 26 million lifetime. :l

Voted for 'yes you daft fool'. 2d mario platformers are main series, 3d platformers are just a spinoff

All you had to do was look at the sales of NSMB DS to know this game was going to outsell Galaxy.

I am curious, who are they?

Tis' was obvious

but both games are wii games.

well duhhh

I had originally thought 15m with good legs leading to 20m. Now I'm thinking 20-25m if the Wii stays on the market long enough.
