Super Mario Galaxy 2 passes 1 million sold in US!

[Vidboy10]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the best-selling non-cowboy game in the United States last month. The 548,000 copies sold during June put the spacefaring platformer above the one-million mark in US sales, as proclaimed by Nintendo in a triumphant announcement. In kind of a bummer of a month in terms of general software sales, Super Mario Galaxy 2 was one of the few success stories for June.

While one million copies in two months (41 days of NPD reporting time) is impressive, it doesn't approach the level of success enjoyed by the first Super Mario Galaxy, which broke a million in its first month on the market, only 12 days of which counted for NPD. (The fact that its first month was November may have had something to do with that strong start.)

Nintendo also announced that DS hardware sales have reached "nearly 42 million," with Wii sales "closing in on a cumulative milestone of 30 million units sold in the United States alone." Both systems enjoyed sales spikes last month.

So did they count that x number of units sold from Mario&Luigi:BIS?

I'm glad the game did well, despite all the inevitable pirated copies.

...Like mine!

I'm seriously gonna buy a legit copy tomorrow.

I bought the game, it was totally worth it.
Hell, I got all 242 stars, and I'm working on a visual guide for all the green stars.

I pirated it at first, but my ISO stopped working so I was like "Blah screw it" and bought it. I enjoyed it, it's definitely a must-buy in my opinion. Plus, if I didn't buy it, my Super Mario Galaxy 1 would look lonely on my shelf. =P

Took it long enough. I expected more since this game is pretty much the #1 game of all time in terms of aggregate reviews.
