| puffy said: I've been thinking.. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is likely to sell 20 Million copies going by the success of the original New Super Mario Bros. for DS. On the other hand, Super Mario Galaxy has sold around 8 million copies and it's sequel will most likely sell similar numbers. Let me put that in context for you: New Super Mario Bros. Wii > Super Mario Galaxy AND Super Mario Galaxy 2 As we all know only too well, Nintendo like to maximise their returns - just like any competent organisation. If what I'm predicting does come about, what do you guys think is the likely hood that the flagship Mario title on Nintendo's NEXT home console will be of the 2D variety? I think it's safe to say that 2D Mario is back and here to stay, will 3D Mario suffer as a result?

First of all, 8 million in sales for one game assures that 3D mario is here to stay.
Second of all, you need to realize that they will keep making 3D mario games simply because they need to appeal to those who want only '3D' games. Even if 50% of those who own a Wii buy New Super Mario Bros Wii, there will be those who won't simply because its a '2D' game and they prefer 3D Mario. I know some people like this and you probably do too.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
