Gah, apologies make me feel awkward.
You're right that MH3 makes the impact of WSR hard to judge, but I just don't believe that any game sells as much as WSR has (and will) without shifting hardware. The pre-exisisting fanbase argument has been kicked around for a long time, and I haven't been able to buy into it since Halo 3's large and protracted hardware boost. No matter how well-served a particular genre is, a big game release sells hardware. Nintendo's big games just tend to sell over a really long period which obscures how much hardware they really sell.
Edit: And reading your latest post puts us on more or less the same page. Predictions are fine, but premature conclusions are a bad idea.
