News: You like him, you really, really like him.
Nintendo has announced that the US sales of Super Mario Galaxy has set sale records as the fastest selling Wii game yet and the fastest selling Mario game ever.
According to Nintendo's internal numbers, Mario's latest adventure, which currently sits atop the GameRankings.com list of best-reviewed games of all-time, sold 500,000 copies in its first week on sale in America. Current estimates place Japanese and European sales at 500,000 copies as well, meaning Super Mario Galaxy has already become a million seller.
"Super Mario Galaxy had the strongest one-week debut of any Wii game to date and has also become the best-selling Mario title ever in its first week, with U.S. sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "It makes an easy gift choice as the holiday shopping season kicks off."
