@Stever89,

All that means is that a lot of people like WiiSports and WiiPlay.
Like THAT much, THAT buy THEM instead of SMG. =))))))))))))))))))
You don't have to be a Mariofans to buy and play SMG. SMG is my first Mario game ever. So if anything, the number of people who buy SMG who aren't Mariofans is 1 up.
BECAUSE MOST of them

GC - 1 mln hardcore mario fans which bough mario + 4 mln. casual gamers/not mario fans.
Wii - 1mln. hardcore mario fans + 2 mln. casual gamers/not mario fans + 2 mln. non-gamers.

Around 1 mln. SMS and SMG sales.
Around 2 mln. Wii Play sales in Japan. and 3 mln. wii sport.
And why is Wii not such a case? Because you don't want it to?
Oh, because YOU WANT TO? =))
Fact: GameCube sold 21.5 million WW. Wii sold 20.5 million in WW in a much smaller timeframe.
GC was pretty same as ps2/xbox, while Wii is DIFFERENT. :)
Fact: SMS has sold 5.9 million WW. SMG sold 5.5 million WW in much less the time.
Because SMG is so awesome game, and will sell another 10-15 mln., RIGHT?
Though, SMG sales DECLINED in Japan after reached SMS numbers. WHY?
Why wii sport/wii play sales are HIGHER? Because, these games better then SMG? Or because these games buy mostly casual non-gamers?
Fact: The attach rate is closer to 25%, meaning that if anything, 25% of Wii owners are Mariofans.
Just like casual non-gamers buy game at FIRST WEEK sales?
They just go to shop, and then buy if fidn something interesting.
FIRST week sales make GAME FANS.
NO?
Fact: You better pray that FFVIII and GTA4 have a similar attach rate and sell similar numbers to the previous versions, otherwise it won't bode well for the PS3.
WHY?
FFXIII will sell over 10 mln. don`t worry.
Fact: Pray that after next week the Wii stops selling because it's sold to nearly all of it's "Mariofans" otherwise this year could be another long year for Sony.
Ok, some NEW DATA will show who was RIGHT. =)

@weezy, i didn`t get the point of what you were writing. What this have to do with SMG sales?

@Final-Fan, NO, That`s NOT a good summary of my position.

SMG bought by 80-85% of mario/nintendo fans. Almost ALL mariofans bought Wii and SMG.
THIS one s GOOD.
