Mario is nintendo's mascot. They would never stop making video games with him in it even for a secend. (unless they got a new mascot, but what are the chances of that?)

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.
