I don't hate Galaxy 2, I hate the people behind it.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was sent out on the mission to make 3D Mario sell like 2D Mario. Again. Nintendo even ships the game with a tutorial DVD that is more of an insult than actual help to most people. It's things like this that make it plausible that some people inside Nintendo want 3D Mario to replace 2D Mario, but that's never going to happen.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be a failure and end up at about 5-6 million in lifetime sales. That makes me happy, because hopefully this time Nintendo finally realizes that it's impossible to make 3D Mario sell like 2D Mario, no matter what they do.

I don't think Iwata is under any illusions, nor has he been for the past seven months.
