Hence my point that the actual Super Mario Bros. 2 was also outsold by Super Mario 64 in Japan, and then in every territory on the planet on the Virtual Console.

Like I said: his point persists regardless of the version you're talking about.

Nope, because again, the lost levels weren't released in the US back in the day, you can argue that it was outsold in Japan, but without having US to compare to (VC doesn't count, because not everyone buys games on VC), your argument still fails, because you don't know how well it would have performed worldwide at the time

Ignoring the fact that I allowed for better sales in Japan - actually, I don't have to. You just said that performance in one territory doesn't matter, even if that selfsame territory has had 2D lead 3D in every other case?

You backpedal too quickly off of this. I think it clear that yo uare only holding to data sets so long as they fit your point: at least I go so far as to admit when I'm wrong, and say as much in my posts.

You're not actually interested in a discussion. You're interested in repeating the same talking points over and over, committing the debate equivalent of covering your ears and shouting when the other person is talking to you. You will not budge from your point regardless of the reason shown to you, and you insist that the other person "fails" with every post.

I had thought that this would end amicably, but speaking with you has been a markedly unpleasant experience and I will endeavour not to engage you in a discussion again. Come find me when you're willing to talk with someone, rather than talk at them, and we can get somewhere.

No, what I said was looking at games that only released in one territory, and comparing it to a game that released ww, isn't going to give you an accurate view of sales.

Who is backpedaling, I an pointing out that your argument is flawed, you say that you can admit that you are wrong, well, can you prove it

No, sorry, I'm not the one trying to twist the facts to make my argument work, you keep trying to argue about games that weren't actual mario games, or that didn't see the light of day outside Japan until the VC, and I'm comparing games that were on an even footing, I haven't needed to twist my data to make it work, so yeah, when you actually want to argue in reality, you know where I am.
