Can't wait to see FF numbers

In all fairness, the Wii has even less AA games than the PS3. Atleast the ps3 has some top-quality multiplatform games in addition to exclusives. The Wii only has a few good exclusives going for it. Believe me i own one.

How poor are SMG sales? I thought that was THE Wii game for christmas?

06./03. [WII] Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo) - 39,500 / 365,000


3rd week in and it's already in 6th place on the chart with only 365k total.

It seems like the Japanese only like party/casual style games for the Wii. SMG is doing much better in NA though.

Even still with the Wii hardware install base being as high as it is, SMG should have sold at least 400k on the first day but it looks like it has already lost it's legs. It just proves that casuals are buying this thing more than hardcore gamers.
