Only thing I know is that SS will struggle to sell over 5 million.

Now this, ah, here is a bet I would not willingly take.

You know... I think it will just because how much people love Zelda and the install base is there, but a bet I wouldn't take is outselling Twilight Princess, just 220k units from outselling the king of the series OoT at 7.38m, if Skyward Sword sells nearly that much I'd be VERY impressed.

As for 3DS Mario it will sell very well, Mario 64 on the DS almost sold 9m which is about 3m behind the original, an original 3D Mario on a portable that differeniates itself from Galaxy by changing up the 3D formula would do very well, probably 10m but no where near another 2D Mario.

I think so too.  If a remake with very limited control (thanks to no analogue) can sell that much, I think this new Mario on 3DS can top 10m lifetime.

It's funny how a few people think that just because a game can't match the sales of NSMB it's automatically a flop.  By that rationale everything that's not Wii Sports/Fit, Mario Kart, Nintendogs or COD is a "flop".

I guess there's a lot of great "flops" out there...
