Why is it guaranteed? Because SMG sales are really low?
I agreewith you btw, I just didn't know there was strong evidence.

Trends of Mario games sales in Japan 2D vs 3D tend to show they have a preference for 2D Marios

Game Japan America Others
Super Mario Bros 3 3.84 9.69 3.75
Super Mario World 3.55 12.97 4.09
Yoshi's Island 1.77 1.68 0.67
Super Mario 64 1.92 6.87 3.1
Super Mario Sunshine   0.87 4.03 1.38
New Super Mario Bros 5.67 6.88 6.30
Super Mario Galaxy 1.04 4.15 2.79

You can see that Yoshi's Island sold very close to Mario 64 in Japan. Also for all 3D Marios, Japan accounts for around 15% of the WW sales but for Yoshi's Island and NSMB they represent 43% and 30% respectively.
