This is precisely my opinion. If anything, it needs to counted twice. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic is the first game in which Nintendo allowed a third party company to develop and publish a game with Mario in it. It's effectively the equivalent of Microsoft offering a financial stipend for development; they gave Sega an extra 500k sales, easily, by including the biggest mascot in gaming. Far from not counting as a third party title, Mario and Sonic is easily the most significant third party title for Nintendo in years.

Bet with OriGin: Within 1 year Super Smash Bros. Brawl will be ahead of Mario Kart Wii (when aligning the one whole year from each region). 2 week ban from Vgchartz for the loser. Edit: Darn! Looks like OriGin will win.
