it´s funny to notice how some people here really don´t understand - or just pretend to not understand - how the market works, or are simply dumb.

then Super Mario 3d world sold 700k... ok..

how many digital copies did it sold?
how many copies nintendo needs to sell in order to make some profit?
how many copies will it sell lifetime?

Unless we have the answer to these three questions, we can´t say it´s a commercial failure.

Those are not the important questions. The real question is: how much could it already have sold if it hade also launched on other platforms? And the answer is probably 4-5 million at the very least, i think even more.

You can't justify missing out on that many sales forever, i can almost see the Playstation Mario boxart already.

Would PS fans really buy Mario games ? They´re not even buying Knack.....or Rayman.....

yeah, it might sell something on sony consoles... but we are now actually discussing if it is a commercial failure or not the way it is. And it´s still too early too tell.
