Please somebody smart look this up to add to the sales discussion:

What was the install-base of the DS at the time of NSMB launch and what was the install-base of the 3DS at the time of NSMB2?

VGChartz data

install-base of the DS at the time of NSMB launch: 8.5m

install-base of the 3DS at the time of NSMB2: 6.8m

That was great, thanks. You basically did what I was wondering about.

You can't just take a game and its sequel and compare only the sales numbers and assume that everything else is equal. Doesn't work that way.

There's a lot more variables in there but the Nintendo haters just want to say that NSMB2 didn't sell very well based on the sales of the first one.
