It's the first time the 360 outsells the PS3, right?

I happen to agree, because I remember Hot Shots Golf 5 at 150k for its first week being a massive success, and even the following weeks when it decreased down to, what was it, 75k and such it was still a great success.
I understand the userbase differences, but people really tend to over react.

No, most of the level-headed people in these threads called HSG5 sales good for PS3, and an epic fucking disaster for the series.Magic Mile said:
As opposed to Mario, which is selling mediocre by Wii Nintendo software standards, and *worst ever* for a new installment in the series.

hopefully Super Mario Galaxy will *drive* Wii sales to core gamers, even if it doesn't win over many of the casuals which make up the majority of the system's fanbase in Japan.
Europe (based on strong MP3 sales) already has a nice balance imho, and based on Twilight Princess sales in America, i'm confident that America will show that it does too when the game comes out next week... but hopefully this will show real legs in Japan as it wins over more gamers into buying the system.
i'd be very interested to know what the game shipped, and how much was left on shelves. that'd be a pretty good indication of whether or not Nintendo themselves will be disapointed.

There are some things I don't understand:
How the hell did Ace Combat 6 succeed where Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, and Eternal Sonata failed?
250k first week for Mario? In Japan 2D Mario > 3D Mario, yes, but wow, that is surprisingly underwhelming.

Why? Mario games are generally bigger than Mario Party games. I'd also prefer the superior game that appeals more to me as a gamer to be selling better, not worse than a mini-game rehash. :/ksamedi said:

On a global scale it was an effin success.. (Not sure bout Europe but in NA it outsold Gears of War)
Sure in Japan people didnt eat it up.. but it was stupid from Nintendos side (no retail GC version)
The only concern would be that Zelda is dwindling as a series in Japan..
But Zelda PH sold decently and is probably going to hit one million units within this year..
So that cant be the case..

Finally SE games with legs
great numbers for Wii Sports and Wii Play
also is that Sangokushi 1 or 2...DS

That's easy enough to answer. Retailer pre-orders were 700k. So at least that amount went out. Sales were 250k. So that leaves what - 450k clogging up the shelves in Japan? Good thing the holiday season is coming or I'd say it would take another month just to clear that.plagiarize said:

Highly unlikely. But it sold well enough, beating every Zelda game since OoT.farnham said:

Wow, SMG + Wii hardware bomba!
A little underwhelming I expected 300k. Mario isn't doing incredible numbers anymore. On the Gamecube Sunshine was outsold by Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I remember reading that Mario Kart 64 was the best selling N64 game. Mario is still a huge franchise with a loyal fanbase, but it isn't a earth shattering event anymore.DeaconKnowledge said:

I honestly see Mario Galaxy following the same track as Mario Party 8 did. Maybe a bit less. But 1 million + isn't out of the question.

Seriously, 41k hardware sales and 250k SMG opening is bomba imo (no joke).

Once again, correct me if I am wrong MC vets, but isn't 41k higher than any non-launch PS3/360 month?
Lost Odyssey failed, what does that even mean, it hasn't even came out yet. Ace combat didn't really succeed over the other two and I'd say it was a little low, the hardware sales is from the price drop and better hardware (HDMI and 65nm cpu).DeaconKnowledge said:
Mario is Nintendo's staple franchise and it is indeed disappointing. You can't compare it mingol5 as that is a casual series mainly, the playstation 3 isn't at the moment. If it doesn't outsell mario party 8, that is just awful.

I think that NSBM is an exeption to the rule, the first new Mario 2D mario since god knows how long, that's what made it succesfull. Perhaps Motion Sickness is also an Issue, the same reason why FPS games don't sell in Japan. We also have no idea about the shipments, retailers wanted 750k, but perhaps Nintendo cut their supplies in half, shortages are already common in the US and Europe.farnham said:

Are you combining GCN and Wii sales to make this statement? I mean, then it would only be fair to combine PC sales for Gears total when it comes out right?
One is on a console, one is on a handheld.
The same limitations to TP's audience applies to Mario's as well...it ain't portable.

I could have swon LO released in Japan. Oh Well.
To be honest, I knew Galaxy wasn't going to sell as well as NSMB in Japan. But the discrepancy between both is immensely large, and considering how much Nintendo is pushing it in Japan (at least 9 different TV Spots plus physical adverts) expected better than 250k.

OK, so what will Mario Galaxy have to end up selling for it not to be a bomb?
We have FF7:CC on the PSP and a much larger userbase which is going to seem to settle in around 750k, and FF7:CC was considered a great success.
If Mario outdoes that game, will it still be called a bomb?
