| BengaBenga said: What's so special about Mario & Sonic? It's a Sega title, and thus 3rd party, despite having Mario in it. The profit will go mainly to Sega. |
Excluded for one primary reason: it has the "Mario" brand - and many/most things with that brand, sell through the roof.
Plus - Ninty helped during development, and are publishing it in Japan.
Its not the "typical" 3rd-party title.

All figures are taken from the latest "worldwide" weekly charts. They may exclude some territories based on missing data, regions something hasn't been released, etc.

Carnival games has done great. It might have cost $1m to develop/market, and at $20/unit (and maybe 400k units shipped) - thats 7m in profit. Not bad.
Here's hoping we get a sequel, with a bigger budget and better quality!
