One basic flaw in your theory is that Mario sales = Wii sales.
What about those who bought a Wii for Zelda, for Metroid, for Brawl? I think there is a decent chance of having a healthy supply of Resident Evil games on the Wii. And, I even know a guy who wants a Wii for Monster Hunter 3 alone. And I am currently only talking about games that appeal to core gamers not the casuals.
Another flaw is what consititutes a "marioboy," as you are the first person I know to coin this condescending term I am unaware of it's definition. Is it only someone who grew up with a Nes, or does it apply to someone who came along later? If the definition is the later, than there would be new "marioboys" being created after playing SMG.
