doesn't change the fact that games sell hardware. its not the other way around. nobody buys a console without games that interest him. The playstation series is an exception. sony always relied on optical formats to sell their consoles.

I'll get straight to the point:
If that is the case, then explain why the current sales are low considering it has 2D Mario. The key is "games that interest them". Are enough people still interested in the Nintendo franchises? 

2D mario launched with the system didn't it? That's one game that launched months ago, and has sold 1.6 million units according to VGC... Thats pretty impressive given the install base, and besides, thats a single launch game. SSB interests the core. Mario Kart interests the Casual. When more titles come out, sales will rise. Games sells Hardware, he is corect, so what exactly is your point?

I for one whave never bought into the new 2d mario, and I'm waiting unti I can warrant spending $300 on a WiiU... Aka when the bigger games come out for it, and more than just the one game you mentioned.
