Ok Rol, the DS/Wii comparison thing that you claim 'everybody should look at' (i said the sentence between quotes in a sarcastic manner) is faulty. First of all, Mario Kart DS launched very shortly after the DS launched. And we all know what people thought of the DS when it first came out. (they thought it was a stupid piece of shit) Also, launch games, or games that come out close to the launch period, never tend to perform at the level they could because of a small userbase.

Uh, Mario Kart DS released a full year after DS launch.  It was also one of the first "impressive" 3D titles for the machine (better than N64 visuals @ 60fps locked).  And launch Nintendo games have insane legs anyway, especially the Mario titles.  You really think being a launch game hurt sales for Mario 64, Mario Advance, Mario 64 DS or even Luigi's Mansion!?

yes. and i think TP could have had much better sales if it came out at least a year after the wii was released.
