Anyone who doesn't think NSMB was the reason wii killed last holiday is in denial.

The first sidescrolling console Mario in a couple generations is what boosted hardware.

Just like DKC will to a lesser extent.

7 million copies during the holidays? That moved HW

Along with the price cut. They worked together.

price cut very little it wasn't that expensive to begin with.

But a game that sold that much had to move a ton of HW

the game that nintendo refused to make for 2 generations the game people like me have been waiting for  IMHO

While I do agree with you that NSMB Wii definitely was a big part of the surge, a $50 can make a pretty big difference.

DKCR...that game is a wildcard, really. It could be a smash hit just like the first, or sell just like its successors. I think perhaps it'll get in between, if not as high as the first.
