Despite a slow start in Japan, Super Mario Galaxy is taking off in North America. Nintendo announced today that Super Mario Galaxy has sold over 500,000 copies in its first week of availability.
"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."
Super Mario Galaxy is the first Mario game to arrive on Wii and it seems that a lot of people were awaiting his return. As the holiday season continues, you can expect Super Mario Galaxy to be one of the leading Wii software sellers for the year.

Editor's Take: No surprise. Super Mario Galaxy was always expected to be a big release for Wii this holiday season and with all the great reviews the title has been getting, everyone who owns a Wii should be getting this game.
