Wasnt saying they were successful Most of those games flopped but they were big titles is what I was saying.  Nothing to do with success.

i know. just throwing out an opinion.

You're forgetting that Luigi's Mansion 2 was originally supposed to be released this holiday alongside Paper Mario as the the big heavy-hitters but it got delayed to the spring. Nintendo doesn't really have any choice but to release Paper Mario and hope for the best. NSMB2 seems to be doing a decent job of staying in the top 15-20, especially for a game that's been out for four months.

They need people to buy their new system. Out of the big 3 I think Sony is better at supporting their last gen consoles once they release a new console. Not including the ill fated PSP that is. Not sure of the facts but that's just the impression I get.

3DS is BARELY beating Xbox 360 this week. Honestly, it should be dominating at this point. It's had more than enough time on the market.

Sony didn't have a blockbuster game this holiday, but they have multiple mediocre ones such as All-Stars LBP Karting, Wonderbook....etc.

They also developed that Style Saavy game, and published a few other odds and ends, but your overall point is well taken.

I think they expect NSMB 2 too do all the work during the holidays, I mean only this game is difficult to compete and I'm not talking about SML3D and MK7.

Is Sticker Star that bad? I've put it on my christmas list, now you are making me nervous.
