Another good test could have been NPC Pikmin and Pikmin 2, which would suggest SSB doesn't have much of an influence on the general population.

I decided to have fun and see if it did and I tested super mario galaxy

WW sales on March 8th (Before Brawl Week)
45,807

WW sales on March 15th (Brawl release week)
58,911

WW on 22nd

75,693

Maybe it does?

You know, you may be on to something, there!
