Bowser kidnapped Mario just before the Gamecube launched. The PS2 AND the Xbox outsold that system. Luigi began using marijuana and ecstasy and he dabbled in bondage porn.

That happened because Mario wasn't there at launch. Imagine if Mario wasn't there at all.

And the Wii at launch??

Super Mario Sunshine (Gamecube Backwards Compatiblity).
