Yes because I wanted to use SML since it was the first SMB game to be released on a portable console, but i couldn't find the data.

My point was to compare a first generation portable nintendo handheld to the first generation portable sony handheld, so even though I couldn't find, I used a second generation, which is stlll giving the upper hand to nintendo.

I couldn't give a damn about the sales of both games, to me, Mario and GT are of equal quality in their own genres, but the comparisons you are offering are simply ridiculous. You're only using the best selling nintendo consoles, what about the n64, what about the gamecube, you're forgetting those? Nintendo is the dominant manufacturer this generation, whether it's handheld or home console, and will be till the end of this generation, but it wasn't like this in the past two gens, and Sony did what no other manufacturer has ever done on the handheld terrain, to actually give a proper competition to nintendo.

Edit - Here it is http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=4436&region=All . Even though GT PSP would be lucky to do 10% of the total sales of SML, their first week in japan was similar, for both being the first game of a renewed console game series on a first generation handheld.
