SM64 was the evergreen title of its generation and I'm not sure why the user base for N64 would not be taken into consideration. If you release a 2D Mario on N64, it's highly unlikely it will sell 20 million on a 32.93 million user base.

Er... Maybe the sales of Nintendo consoles are tied to the main series Mario games available?

Then explain the Wii. It took off like a banshee under the assumption that there would only be a 3D Mario. It's been on pace to outsell all other Nintendo consoles combined.
