I know that. When I said "anyway", I meant regardless of all differences and flaws between the two comparisons, SM3DL vs. NSMBW shows the opposite of GA vs. DD, so even by ignoring all these flaws, similar points like Chark suggested could not be made for both cases.

Let's not forget their are 10x as many 3DS's out there right now...could be a factor, but what do I know.

I guess that is meant in a sarcastic manner, but it's out of place. You were the one who called for a SM3DL vs. NSMBW comparison to draw an analogy to a GA vs. DD comparison, but I can tell you that it is flawed on several levels and any attempts to offset these differences will lead to other inconsistencies. It just doesn't work.

But I can tell you for sure that there aren't 10x as many 3DSes as Wiis out there. What you are thinking of must be a SM3DL vs. GA comparison, but for what reason is anybody's guess, because nobody has brought that up yet.

I think all this talk is just hinting towards the obsurdity of your original comparison of GA vs. DD. In fact you assume people are buying a PS3 to get DD, would like to know how you figure out that's a substantial percentage of its sales. I'd say plenty of those sales are from current PS3 owners. Even if so you can't outrule GA as a system seller by comparing it to its better established counterpart. GA did sell systems, 28% of Vita owners bought the game. Vita launched 1.1 million consoles, not bad at all. GA still has the best legs on the Vita and already sold 480k as a launch title. You can't honestly expect a game that requires a $320 base cost of entry to outsell its celebrated $60 older brother when there is 37x as many consoles already out there.

When a game launches and is considered a "system seller" it doesn't sell millions of systems, it sells thousands, the millions the game sells is to current console owners. Rol, you're falling apart here.
