Out of curiosity

Why are you expecting NSMB2 to do only half of its predecessor's lifetime total?

Because I only expect the 3DS to do half as good as it's predecessor.

Interesting. Only one problem with that assertion: though there are games like Mario Kart that depend on the size of hte installbase to attract more users, there's currently nothing to suggest that this is true of original 2D Marios. They sell pretty consistently in the 15-30 million range, regardless of the size of their installbase. 15 million would be the absolute minimum to expect out of NSMB2 lifetime.
