On the dead or dying thing, no-one else in the industry would have had the balls to sell NSMBWii as a full-price retail game. The closest was LBP, and that was sold on the pretext of UGC.

Dude, that's a very established franchise that sells a load every time it's released (even if the majority of them are on handhelds, the handheld version had what, 14M in sales at the time?) and it breaks of from another very established franchise that's been around for ages (mario). LBP was a brand new no name IP on the last place console.

I'm not sure i see your point. My point was that nobody else would try to sell a 2D Platformer as its own thing on a console at full price as a retail title, even if it was Mario, who else bothers with retail 2D games, aside from LittleBigPlanet? Even if it is Mario, it's still a decision no-one else would have made
