All I'm saying is that based on the buying trends of the games and genres available, it appears that the traditional-core gamer userbase is roughly 8m+. I showed some examples of why I think that is true, based on the fact that for traditional gamers, there is really only mario and platformers. Nintendo can only really deliver to one demographic, and even then, there's only like ONE of each franchise installment therein. They really don't do much to help out. What's harsh but true is the near nonexistence of genres outside of platforming on the wii, in terms of traditional core gaming.

Based on the fact that the platform gamer only gets one installment of a franchise platform, and then must buy a different franchise, and how all the platformers tend to have the same sales, along with zelda. It's not hard to see the correlation in their sales. Wii has lots of overlap. That has to do with the fact that they haven't put out a sequel to anything besides galaxy and zelda in 5 whole years.

Seeing as how this was the point of my argument in the first place, and how you are denouncing the entire argument, please, find fault with it aside from  correctly pointing out that NSMB is actually a SM3/SMW remake.

Your whole argument seems to be bogus and looking through your thread from 2009, there's nothing to suggest that there's any merit to it. Back then you avoided discussion with people who would point out the fallacies in your argument and instead selectively picked out posts that either agreed with you (due to similar bias) or were poorly written. You came up with a self-constructed term and set up questionable qualifiers to arrive at your desired conclusion. But when looking at the issue closer, it's hard to follow your logic, because you make leaps whereever it is convenient. Your argument didn't hold water back then, so why should it now?

Also, it would be nice if you didn't misrepresent what I said. I never said that NSMB is a SMB3 or SMW remake. It's not a remake at all.

Seems to be bogus? Haha. NICE COUNTER. No evidence, just words. Classic.

:D at the remake. Hilarious how the first level of NSMBDS is SMB level 1, and all the enemies from SMW are used. It's a throwback. It's a revival. It is so obviously geared toward the nostalgia crowd. Even all the ads showed level one and growing huge and just running through the level, at the end of the commercial, it's showing world 1-2.

 

I  OWN the game, and what made me buy it was that it was a throw back. That commercial is what sold me.
