A look at Malstrom's predictions. Do you think they will come true?

We know Pikmin 3 is going to be shown at E3. This is Miyamoto’s doing. I already know Pikmin 3 will not drive Wii growth because Pikmin 1 and 2 didn’t do much of a job of driving Gamecube growth. Instead of making a sequel to a Gamecube game, why not look more at the SNES and NES? Why not take inspiration from NSMB’s massive sales. If Nintendo puts out a 2d Mario for the Wii, I will guarantee you Wii growth.

At the end of a recent article, quoted above, Malstrom made the prediction that a 2D Mario for the Wii will be a huge seller, and drive Wii growth.  Based on statments he made earlier in the article, Malstrom seems to think that a game like this would outsell Super Mario Galaxy by a large margin.  We now have that game in the recently announced New Super Mario Bros Wii.

Do you think that New Super Mario Bros Wii will outsell Super Mario Galaxy?  What about Super Mario Galaxy 2?
