Why did Sony go with Super Smash Bros. too instead of Super Mario Bros. too?

Recognise yourself much?

I have provided proof that the established game industry as a whole still thinks that SMB is a superior game compared to almost everything. In other words: game journalists thinks that SMB, a 30 year old game, is better than LBP. SMB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LBP. It doesn't matter how old the game is. After 30 years it is still superior to LBP. Fact. Logic.

i second that

please dont try to insult or offend me as i have not insulted or offended anyone in this thread. i would like to point out though that you are clearly just trying to prove that SMB is better then LBP, while my responses where to argue the point i made out while REPLYING TO THE OP. even if the SMB  franchise was better 30 years ago in professionals perception in the time being it is not. LBP has the upper hand and that is why sony didnt make another 2D platforming game, that is the simple answer to the OP's question

If I insulted you, I am sorry. It's just frustrating that you won't acknowledge the fact that professionals STILL thinks that SMB is the better game. With the links I gave you it's painfully clear that professionals still thinks that that game is better/superior to LBP. It's never gonna change. Just admit that it's YOUR opinion that LBP is superior, because I have showed you that the professionals thinks that SMB is better, even though 30 years have past. In 30 more years SMB will still be better thab LBP. You're avoiding what logic and facts I provide, and therefore I post a brick wall.

where did i say SMB wasnt a better game in reviews opinion? im just saying that doesnt matter now, as that game is now 30 years old and doesnt matter (to sony or nintendo) because it doesnt sell systems. the games that sell systems are the games that are coming out now, thats what i was saying.thats why i was comparing the newer games. what matters is what is coming out now. if you must know in my opinion i prefer super mario land on the snes more than LBP, i cant honestly say that that is an objective choice as my memories of super mario land are filled with nostalgia, its probably the first video game i ever played (cant remember i been playing for literally as long as i remember) and i havent played the game for over 15 years. i would have to play the game again. i cant give an objective opinion on which game is better because of that reason. i have to play mario again and only then can i give my personal opinion

When you said that LBP was superior and started to list metacritic scores to back up this claim. If that's not insinuating that LBP is better then I don't know what is! It doesn't matter to the OP, but it DOES matter to your statement that LBP is superior to Super Mario Bros - which it isn't, and even YOU are now opening up to the possibility that SMB is better with the first sentence in your last reply (seen above).

Even if we look past this superior game compared to LBP, what you are saying is that; sales matters. "the games that sell systems are the games that are coming out now, thats what i was saying.thats why i was comparing the newer games. what matters is what is coming out now"<---- your words. And by this statement we can logically assume that sales matters. NSMB sold more than all of LBP games put together. It's therefore superior.
