I love how you quote me, the neutral guy when there were other people who made comments that should of been quoted l0l

Anyways in regards to New Super Mario Bros U since that was what my post was in regarding since all the other software on the Wii-U is lackluster imo - NSMB2 came out less than a year before this game, the fact that NSMBU came out in short time frame and still managed to do over a mil is amazing especially making it probably the first non-bundled Wii-U game to hit 1 mil physical,

1 Nintendo Land WiiU 2012 Action Nintendo 0.88 0.37 0.29 0.13 1.67
2 New Super Mario Bros. U WiiU 2012 Action Nintendo 0.70 0.29 0.47 0.11 1.58

compare that to...a game that was sold on a system that has 70+ mil units

2 PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale PS3 2012 Action Sony Computer Entertainment 0.26 0.12 0.02 0.06 0.45
3 LittleBigPlanet Karting PS3 2012 Action Sony Computer Entertainment 0.22 0.15 0.01 0.07 0.44

Gee I wonder why those games got over a million but not the ones on the PS3 :(!

 

Now if you make bundling as a argument

1 Mario Kart Wii Wii 2008 Racing Nintendo 14.45 12.21 3.62 3.21 33.49
1 Wii Sports Wii 2006 Sports Nintendo 40.39 28.38 3.77 8.54 81.07
3 Wii Sports Resort Wii 2009 Sports Nintendo 14.79 10.50 3.18 3.01 31.47
4 Wii Play Wii 2006 Misc Nintendo 13.83 9.11 2.93 2.84 28.71
5 New Super Mario Bros. Wii Wii 2009 Platform Nintendo 13.32 6.47 4.65 2.25 26.69
6 Wii Fit Wii 2007 Sports Nintendo 8.91 8.15 3.60 2.08 22.74
7 Wii Fit Plus Wii 2009 Sports Nintendo 8.81 7.93 2.53 1.86 21.12

Now I know some of these examples seem a bit weak (i.e. Wii sports games) but my main point is that people love Mario and there are two games on the list regardless of them being bundles or not - their still counted.

Show me one game (bundled or not on the PS3) that even managed to make it to 15+ mil - matterfact give me a first party title on the PS3 that managed to even do that and then get back to me on it.

Gee I wonder WHY people buy Mario games hmmm I wonder, the storylines are weak, the budgets I'm sure are less than some of the higher up "AAA" titles, and its the SAME DAMN GAME!!!.

Damn that was hard to post like a rabid Nintendo fan lol

Come back when you aren't cherry picking the games. Try the Uncharted series, Killzone or God of War for PS3 and Halo & Gears of War for the 360. 

If Mario game followings were strong, then surely the Wii U wouldn't be where it currently is. 


I gave you the reason why Nintendo games sold. Mario = sales

None of the games you mention even sold as much as the games I mentioned.

Look at the WiiU numbers and look at Nsmbu numbers. 

Bleeh can't quote or type well. Check below post.


Mario sells so well that Forbes have said that the Wii U may result in Nintendo going software only.

Yeah because the Halo series didn't sell well at all.

I'll carry on this conversation if you want to look at the actual facts at hand rather then cherry pick data which is nothing more than a fallacial argument.
