"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. It makes an easy gift choice as the holiday shopping season kicks off."

Finally the reasons to buy a Wii are starting to come throught
I wish I had a Wii. And SMG.
I can't afford it yet... BUT! I may have found someone willing to let me borrow it, and that's almost as good as buying it!
Wow, nice, best selling Mario of it's first week! Let's hope the trend continues because this game deserves it!
I must say that the Nintendo Wii is quite an awesome system. I plan on getting SMG very soon when I get some extra money. Sadly though, the fan in the rear of my Wii stopped functioning so I have to send it back to Nintendo. I called them up today and explained to them my situation about the fan not working and the support rep was able to make me a repair request so now I have to send my Wii in, but according to Nintendo I will have it back within two weeks, so yay. Nintendo is such an awesome company xD
