But... retail only?
Glad folks are having a blast with the game.
With all creation focused games, there's a lot of less-than-stellar levels out there (that's putting it mildly ), but luckily there's also some fantastic user created content that is an absolute blast to play. Following friends and playing their levels is also a fantastic way to continue building community with one another through a video game of all things.
It's another incredibly fun game to play, with ever growing content. So a hearty congrats to SMM!

What odds is Nintendo defying with this? Edit: It's proving the people wrong that say nobody likes 2D Mario games anymore though, which are mostly people that dislike the NSMB series. |
Good thing it has 3 other graphical styles then, and the fact that you can make your own levels, some of which are a lot better than the boring ones in NSMB. So how does it prove them wrong exactly? Also, no one even said nobody likes 2D Mario games anymore, people have been criticizing NSMB vfor lack of ambition, not lack of sales. Trash sells, sometimes.
What odds are Nintendo defying? How many million sellers does Sony (or third party studios) have on the Vita? How many does Sega have on the DC?

Meh, this one was expected to be a top seller. It's Nintendo's biggest franchise, after all. Anything Mario related is guaranteed to sell millions. Splatoon was the real surprise. Regardless, these games selling so well doesn't really change Wii-U's standing in the long run. Let's be honest; 10 Million consoles in almost 3 years isn't all that great. Even Vita managed better in the hardware sales department. With all this talk of NX, Wii-U can't have much more life left, sadly.

Most likely Retail + Digital. That's usually how software sales figures go these days.

Oh lookie here, I hurt someones feelings.
What a dumb comparison is that Vita one? Do you know what "defying the odds means"? A 2D Mario platformer selling a million units on a Nintendo console is not defying the odds, it's the exact opposite.

Not sure what point you're making, but Vita has 4 million sellers, 2 by Sony. Dreamcast has six million sellers, 5 by Sega. Wii U has 12 million sellers all by Nintendo.
