Japan: 260K first week

America: 750K first week

So a little over 1 million on its first week not including Europe.

resident evil UC goes really good.

100K

Great for SMG but I doubt many games ever will match Halo 3 release.

The movie industry thinks that Halo 3 hurt the box office. o.O

Yeah, good for Nintendo.
I'm not a fan of the game though, because it's a kids game to me no matter what you say.

And yes there are flaws that I've found, least of which are:
- Silly story... actually wait I don't think there is a story.
- Dumb cut scenes
- Exact feel as SM64 (more nostalgia then I wanted)
- Bugged camera in places (screwed up auto-cam sometimes)
- Scarce and weak voice-over
- Too easy (I found, any way)
- Discombobulating gravity effects

There are probably more, but those are the ones I've found (I've played for about an hour).

Very true... Halo really shines at launch, but Galaxy will likely sell as many as Halo 3... maybe even more in its lifetime.

Big deal, Assassin's Creed DID sell 1 million in its first week, and that doesn't seem to be available on a Nintendo console. :roll:Watch_Me_Xplode

awsss

Give it more time. I'll adress your complaints:

You expect too much.
Again, high expectations. Stop placing Final Fantasy standards on Mario.
That's what makes it so great.
Doesn't last for too long.
Wouldn't the scarcity of the voices make up for their weakness?
Actually, I found it pretty challenging. Ying-yang.
They work pretty damn well. Hell, sometimes I'll play a level just to screw with the gravity system.

Yeah, good for Nintendo.

Just like those big sellers R&C and Heavenly Sword.

Neither does Halo. But Halo has one thing Nintendo doesn't: bratty, spoiled, suburban "ghetto" white teen ilk who have a strange fixation on genitals and screaming out obscenities via their headsets. Ugh, I think many gamers are willing to agree with me on the fact that these are the demographic that are destroying gaming, NOT the "casual" threat looming over the horizon.

Well I don't know, the amount of xbox 360's and Ps3's COMBINED is only a little more than the amount of Wii's. which is actually pretty pathetic.

Seriously man, the fact that you would take offence, directly and blindly insult me, really speaks agaisn't your maturity level. I'm not saying you are immature, but you really strike me as that kind of kid.

And to kill two birds with one stone:

Look at what I bolded. It kind of justifies the assumption that you're an insecure teen.

I'm getting tired of dealing with you now. Prepubscent's don't use the word kiddy, we both know that. I also think we both know that you are indeed the insecure one, continuing this pointless debate over my first thoughts of a video game. Seriously man, grow up.

I still can't believe that people trust this sites after their ridiculous inaccuracy last week.

Only half of the games on the top 20 software sales?

200,000+ 360 Units?

Guitar Hero 3 on the 360 sales more then double then it did when there was only one week counted for it?

Yeah because everyone who bought the Wii is so mature and friendly when they are talking online...oh wait...

Yea, there is online, just no headset. It doesn't need one. I have yet to see a co-op version of Starcraft hit the Wii, so I see no reason for a headset.

Halo 3 made 3 times that in one day :|supermechakirby

good on em for there best game almost going 1 million in one whole week, considering that the Wii is the market leader and mario galaxy is their top game, im surprised it sold so badly by comparison to other great franchises

people were betting mario would outsell halo3!!!!! lol!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!11111!!!111!!11im_different

they were not betting Mario would sell more opening day they were betting Mario will sell more over all. And it will

It sounds like most of your issues are with the story, which is kinda silly. It's a Mario game. Of course there isn't much of a story.

Besides that, I hear the beginning of the game is pretty easy, so it'll probably get more challenging as time passes.

I don't believe it will.

Last week NPD showed that VGchartz was off by 100% (yes, the numbers were twice what they should have been) yet some still use that garbage and even try to defend it. Why do so many insist on looking like fools by using that garbage. We should all start using nexgenwars instead.:|pins_basic

Dude give it up, they won't listen.

You guys might as well ask me how much each of 'em sold.

I couldn't possibly do much worse...

So far pulled off more than 1.3million..750K in US, more than 330K in japan, about 210K others...

1week - US

1week couple days- Japan

Less than1week - others

Kinda stretching it arent you...If those are such a big problem i wonder why it scored 9.5 on hardcore GS and its the best rated game of all time, with the number 1 spot on GR..
