Let me ask all of you a question, of the 14 million + Wii owners, how many do you think owned a GC?

Now to use attach ratios from a GC game when you know that the Wii's current install base is entirely different makes no sense.

Let me ask you a question. Why did Mario Galaxy for the Wii just sell in 2 weeks what Gamecubes Mario Sunshine took 5 months to sell?

Perhaps your assumptions about the Wii's userbase and their buying habits arent exactly accurate either?


Think about what you just posted. Everyone who has played any games knows about Mario (for the most part) and the fact that any casual player can pick up and play the game. Sunshine was not the type of Mario game that you could just pick up and play. The game had its moments but was nowhere near as fun as Super Mario 64 IMO. Mario Galaxy just looks like a game that anyone can enjoy. Thats why.


So is Mario Kart. Mario Kart is a lot more simple for non-gamers to play then Mario 64 actually. Or atleast that's been the case for the Non-gamers I know.
