This keep this thread alive until SMG reaches 8 million 
Also, lets take in to account that the audience for Super Mario World and SM64 are completely different than SMG today.
A good 6 or 7 years has past between mario incarnations, SM64 and SMS and then another 4 years or so to get to SMG. If there were 5 million Wiiboys back the, they sure have grown up to be Wii-men.
So lets say there were 17 million SMB3boys out there. Now they should be Wii-Men and we can assume that there are some Wii-Boys out there that have never played a SM game before SM64. (or even SMS if young enough). That means 17 million + another 5 million or so should be ~ 22 Wiiboys out to buy SMG. I know the numbers are all a little off, but you know what I'm getting at right?
If the old generation of Marioboys buys SMG along with the new generation of Marioboys, the potential for SMG should be WAY MORE than just 5 million. If all marioboys bought SMG, then the number should be at least 17 million, right (assuming that 5 million Wii-Men bought SMB3 and then went out and bought SMS as well)?
