Miyamoto's words just genuinely made me sad (Regarding Paper Mario)

You may care about the story but the majority don't. Mario wants to save the princess and that's all they really need to know....

I think they can only blame themselves for it, Mario is known as a platformer, pick up and play, not a deep RPG with emotional stories.

No wonder Paper Mario flopped.

I'm sure it will sell beyond 1m and you are very misinformed on this issue.  Why it isn't doing well is because it isnt like the 1st 2 paper mario games that excelled in gameplay.  Sticker Star just doesnt excel.

OK, this is an "average" game that sold the exact same amount as PS: All Stars FW yet now you're sure this game will reach 1m? What's the difference?

uhm mario is the difference.  If All stars had mario then I'd predict differently.  People see mario on a boxart and are like "oooooh mario"  They look at all stars and they're like "hmm, what is this" 

You know it's true lol
