Super Mario Galaxy is a failure and Nintendo is to blame

I like this thread, like most of Rols threads.

It gives credence to Nintendos high standards when a community debates about a game that has sold an incredible amount and we come up with arguments that say its not as successful as it should be. Pure Awesomeness.

But to get back on topic... I think someone posted that Mario 64 was bundled, was it not? So if you take that into consideration that could skew the argument somewhat.

And if this is not a joke thread, cutscenes or not, most people who are fans of Mario, I think, are more attracted to the 2D aspect of Mario rather than the 3D. Maybe I'm just nostalgic.

This isn't strictly true. I enjoy 3-D Mario games more, by and large. It's just that Galaxy's intro was too long and too restricting.

Correct in the strictly sense, as most things are subjective anyways. 

However, I believe 2D Mario games have by and large sold more than 3D Mario games.  Not sure if cutscenes have anything to do about it.
