Well, MH3 will boost Wii in Japan, as you said - wasn't PS3 beating Wii in the Japanese market one of your two 'indicators'?
Look at the sales of NSMB DS, it's obviously one of the key titles to make people buy the platform. I don't even get what you're trying to say here... so NSMB Wii cannot boost Wii sales, because... only people who already know Mario are going to buy the game? EVERYBODY knows Mario, and the prospect of an Old School, 2D, easy to pick up, multiplayer Mario game is going to mobilize millions of people who haven't bought a Wii yet.
Currently playing: NSMB (Wii)
Waiting for: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Last Story (Wii), Golden Sun (DS), Portal 2 (Wii? or OSX), Metroid: Other M (Wii),
... and of course Zelda (Wii)
