Its not identical buying habits cetainly, but Mario pretty much transcends those differences, as Historical sales have shown,, NSMB and Mario Kart moved hardware in Japan just as they did in the west, that is irrefutable, if Galaxy was capable to moving hardware, Japan would have seen some movement as well, since Mario is popular there as well as here.

It seems clear, you are just ignoring facts which disagree with you

No, he doesn't; historical trends for different Mario franchises indicate differently, and you repeating this falsehood is not going to make it somehow less false.

That it didn't appreciably move hardware in Japan is already acknowledged; that it did not do so anywhere else is impossible to prove. You are beating a dead horse in attempting to prove it.


Actually you prove my point, saying that different Mario franchises merely provesmy point, as 3D mario has a dismal track record worldwide, only Mario 64 did well, and that was more because of the novelty of 3D at the time, 3D Mario has done poorly wordwide in moving hardware, on the GCN and the Wii, 2D and Kart have done extremely well wordlwide, so my point remains unbroken, if Galaxy was capable of moving hardware, we would have seen the movement in Japan as well.
