You people are crazy. How can it possibly outsell the original?

look at Animal Crossing! The original sold over 3mil but the sequel on ds sold an amazing 11.83mil
Its possible!

Animal Crossing appeals to the kind of audience the DS had. That audience wouldn't have bought a GC for just that. But they would on a console that already has NSMB, Brain Training and Nintendogs. It suits a handheld better due to pick-up-and-play gameplay where you can just check up on your town and enjoy it.

Luigi's Mansion is clearly a core game, that is competing with many other core 3DS games (unlike GC launch), and that suits being played on a console because of longer average playtime and linear story progression.
