Nintendo - NSMB Wii - View Post

But Mario is Mario, whether 2D or 3D

Seriously?

2D marios:

SMB - NES (bundled most of its life) = 40.2m
SMW = SNES (bundled most of its life) = 20.1m
SMB3 = NES (not bundled) = 17.3m

NSMB DS (rarely bundled) = 19.5m (still selling ~50k a week)

3D marios:

Mario 64. Total sales from N64 and DS = 19.7 (11.9 was N64 only).
Sunshine = 6.3m
Galaxy = 8.2m (may not outsell 64).

2D mario is vastly more popular than 3D mario. It will bring people in big time.
