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.

....Wouldn't that take like 150 million?

Edit: Not that it takes away from your point.

Yeah it would be about 150 million. Isn't that an entirely possible goal for the Wii to achieve? I know it was supposed to be a given last year.
