@kungKras. The axes are:

x axis: Mario series entries
y axis (vertical): The sales volume
z axis (depth): The different possible trends and ways to read the data (what games to bundle with which: 2D, 3D, main entries only, they're labelled )

Aha, so, there is a rather steep decline from 1 to 3, and then it levels out between 3 and SMW but still a very slow little decline, then it halves with SM64, and just collapses with sunshine.

It's hard to know if I pinpoint the data right due to it being 3D though. Kinda fitting considering the theme of the graph though xD

Yeah, very good counter-points. That's where we can start talking. Indeed, the SMB3 to SMW drop is very small as compared to SMW to SM64. That's where I would argue that it's a question of lost marketshare due to Sony, but some here would disagree with me. But at least you noticed it.

 

@prof. Good points, but the games weren't bundled in japan, see my prior post
