'Super Mario Galaxy' smashes US records

Super Mario Galaxy, which is already the fastest-selling Wii game in the UK after its first week on sale, has now broken US records after selling over 500,000 copies.

The acclaimed title, which was awarded five stars in the DS
review, has now achieved the status of becoming the biggest-selling Mario title in its first week ever.

"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 US sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures," Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing George Harrison stated.
