Probably not in the next 2 years. It just sells too good to do that.

Yeah, the clearance from last month on this title probably helped launch it back up into the top 10. LOL!

Amazes me that Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros. are still selling that well for the DS nearly 4 YEARS after release. Factor in that both games still retail at $34.99 and it's even more mind-boggling.

Everyone I know who gets a DS picks up Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros, which is why both continue to sell well. The Mario Kart franchise has to be one of the biggest money makers Nintendo has ever had.

Well people keep buying Wii's and the first game they want to buy is a Mario game. I'm actually surprised that Mario Galaxy isn't selling like Mario Kart.
