That's rather impressive since it's only been out for a year. I'm glad to see Galaxy sold well here in Australia. It would seem the general public does have taste.

Mario Party came out four months earlier though, this is only a month or so of Galaxy sales. It's actually pretty crazy for any game not called Halo to have such a good attach rate after only a month.

Surprised Wii Play hasn't sold 293,990 though, while it shouldn't really be counted as a game it's a no brainier purchase for new owners. Most likely a lack of stock, and that Big Brain bundle possible cut into it as well.

Big Brain Academy Wii Degree with the Wii Remote was only released in limited quantities. I got a gut feeling that the bundle has been discontinued.
