| donathos said: I wonder... Let's say that Mario Kart, Galaxy & Brawl didn't exist, and third parties released essentially those games as IPs (with new, never-before-seen characters), but with the same gameplay mechanics & production value, etc. How do you think they'd do? I'm sure they wouldn't do the same high level of business, especially at first. The Mario name carries weight, after all, and part of the fun from Brawl & Kart is the mash-up of familiar characters. Still... I think all three would do good business and start franchises that would eventually do very, very well, because the games are all so solid just as they are; I always had fun playing with Roy on Smash even before I had any idea what a Fire Emblem was. :)

In my opinion, they would propably sell something like 25% of what those games are selling with mario on them. :p
