1) I agree with that mostly EXCEPT, it is fewer games not less. And just because that is how it is now, doesn't mean it is going to stay like that. Somebody could come up with a CoD popular game for the Wii, Mario won't be king for ever

If if someone happened to make a game/series that had CoD-like popularity for a Nintendo console, it wouldn't outsell a 2D mario game on it. Look at CoD's single platform sales VS mario's single platform sales (around 10mil VS over 20mil)

It would take something much much bigger than CoD for that

No, why look at CoD's single platform sales? That makes no sense, and remember, CoD games have sold about 20m for the last 4 years

Think about it for a second... Get it now?

Nah? Fine I'll explain. CoD sells like 20mil (say 10 mil per console) right now - If a CoD-like game sold 20-30 mil on all three consoles then it would be 10mil per console whereas Mario would sell something like 20-25mil, thus remaining king of the console

CoD may have beat Halo and GT on their respective platforms but it'd take something much bigger than CoD to beat mario on Wii

No, Activision would sell 20-25m copies of the game, thus remaining king. If a CoD sized franchise sold 20-25m on one console it would win. Mario maybe to the king of exclusive console games, but not the king of console games
