Obviously SEGA will beat their expectations.
I doubt there will be many Mario and Sonic games, though. With the way Mario spin-offs sell, they don't need to have Sonic in them. Hopefully we'll just see a Winter Olympics game in two years (SEGA should be able to keep the liscense due to the sales of M&S), and maybe a Mario vs. Sonic platformer of some sort.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
