What about those who bought a Wii for Zelda, for Metroid, for Brawl?

Metroid Prime GC 2.77m -> game bought by metroid fans and other gamers.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes GC 1.28m -> game practically bought only by metroid prime fans.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption Wii 1.12m - game practically bought only by metroid prime fans.
@hsrob, cooincidence?
Are metroid fans also mario fans, unknown, just like we don`t know if mgs or ff fans also a GT fans.

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.

That doesn`t change statement(probablility), that atleast 30% or 1/3 TODAY`s Wii userbase are mariofans.

"marioboys" = mariofans. Guys which buy allmost all mario games.

Metroid fans and Mario fans are not always one and the same. Same could be said for Zelda fans. Where does this 30% come from and how can it exclude casuals? Many of the Mario games are casual such as Mario Party. And if a "marioboy" is someone who buys all/most Mario games than there would be many new "marioboys" on the system. Mario Party 8 seems to be the best selling in the series, according to this site. Super Paper Mario also is selling better than previous versions. Mario and Sonic is selling extremely well. I think Strikers is over 1 million- but I haven't checked it in a while.
