Mario Galaxy Sells 500,000 at Record Speed
The title shipped 500,000 copies in the seven days following its launch, Nintendo announced today, also making it the fastest-selling Wii game since the system's launch last year. The data comes from Nintendo's internal sales figures.
Games in the Mario series have sold a total of more than 198 million copies since the plumber's NES debut. For more on the title, check out Shacknews editor-in-chief Chris Remo's review, where he says Galaxy "taught me to love again."

dunno how accurate this is, but like they say, SMB3 was the best selling game never bundled with hardware, until one of the pokemons iirc. -
Mario (200 million)[153]
Pokémon (164 million)[154]
The Sims (90 million)[105]
Final Fantasy (75 million)[155]
Get the fuck out of here, Pokemon has outsold the Sims, Final Fantasy and is gaining ground on the ENTIRE mario series? Jesus christ, it's like printing money when one of those is released. O_O
Well deserved though in my eyes, these games are excellent despite their kiddy stereotype that people tack on. -
