Because sackboy was a new character whereas Mario has had a gagillion games?

This is one of the biggest bulshits that exist. How did then Donkey Kong Country was popular? There was no similar game with him as character before. How did Halo got popular? It's first game sold VERY well, despite the sequels selling better. Same for Crash, or whatever character you want to pick up. It depends solely on the quality of the game.

The market is more saturated. And in my opinion, it didn't really fail.
