Okay? Thanks for proving my point by contradicting yourself...

Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, etc.

Yeah, widely different audience. /s 

Only exception is Pokémon, main games don't come out on HC.

Because a 2D Zelda is definitely the same as Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. Because clearly Super Mario Advance is the exact same thing as Super Mario Sunshine /s

Seriously, stop fabricating things up to fit your argument. You gather the evidence first and then, form a conclusion. You don't form the conclusion first and then, fish for "evidence".

Ocarina of Time 3D sold better than ALBW and Majora's Mask 3D is on track to outsell both. Super Mario 3D World is a sequel of Super Mario 3D Land.

Oh, and Super Smash Bros.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!

New Super Mario Bros. is on both HH and HC btw.

Super Mario Advance is a remake of a HC game btw. ;)

Huh, I didn't know that Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D were remakes of the GBA versions *record scratch* oh... they were only on the N64 prior to being remade.

Original Super Smash Bros was only on the N64. Melee was only on the Gamecube. So please tell me where there was a Smash game for the GB Color, GBA, or DS.

Come on, guys. This thread is about whether a Microsoft system will sell the most units in a given generation.

It's not a referendum on Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft fans. And it's certainly not a place to flame each other.

Take a deep breath, every one. Please keep it on topic moving forward.

You're the one who said the audience of HH and HC market were widely different.

They're not, as proven by the 3DS.

I didn't know it took a widely different audience to enjoy 2D and 3D games, as that is the difference you're talking about. HH games in the past were in 2D because of technical limitations, not because of a widely different audience.

Sorry, made that previous post before I read this. I'll stop now. If anyone wants to discuss this any further, take it to my wall. :)

This.

Not really... Rankings don't provide information on absolute performance.

For instance, Console A sells 100m, Console B sells 50m, and Console C sells 25m. Therefore, Console B is 2nd.

However, the statement can also be true if Console A sells 100m, Console B sells 10m, and Console C sells 5m. In both scenarios, Console B is 2nd, but it sold significantly better in the former than in the latter.
