Was Nintendo's recent minor fall a good thing for them?

Nearly everything you wrote, sry. Late January is late january, nevertheless good holiday sales are good holiday sales (and these sales are about 1/3 of yearly sales).

OK, obviously amazing holiday sales would be to their credit. I expect ambivalent holiday sales (not much better than 360/PS3 for Wii, tracking a lot below DS's later Christmases for 3DS), but *dead* post-holiday sales, like near zero.

2D Mario was and probably is a monster, but 3DS is far from dead and you should know that. By the way, 2D Mario on 3DS???

2D Mario is a different game series in consumers' minds. I can tell by the way 64/Sunshine/64 DS/Galaxy/Galaxy 2/3D Land were/are selling on similar trajectories, and NSMB DS/Wii have trajectories tracking unbeliveably above those numbers, but cost less to make.

You're dead Sir,

dead wrong!

2D Mario ftw, i can't hear that sh*** anymore!

I personally prefer 3D Mario to 2D Mario. Nevertheless I accept the economic reality that 3D Mario will never sell as well and Nintendo needs to stop pushing that as their flagship series, when 2D Mario and Wii Sports should recieve the development love (orchestrated soundtracks, sparkling graphics etc). You're letting your own preferences get in the way of what Nintendo should make.

Rol, stopp it!
