NSMB Wii was popular. Has it sold consoles? Nope.

So your argument falls flat as it is pressuming SSB is a console seller. As I have said the sales show a minimal increase in sales prior and post release of SSBB.

May I then ask why you don't consider NSMBW a system seller? Would you consider the original NSMB a system seller? What exactly DO you consider a system seller?

To be honest this is where game analystics falls short - NSMBW may have been an after-thought purchase or system seller. Looking at the sales, it looks like it was released during a seasonal climb anyway so it's rather ambigious as to whether it was a system seller or not. However there is at least an increase in sales for a sustained time to a much larger percent than SSB. 

A system seller is obviously a game that sells systems. So one that will help to break a plateu or trend in sales. There's no other description for a system seller that would make sense. 

Looking at the sales for Mars 2008 it's quite evident that there were more Wii's sold that for any other Mars before or since... It's weird how SSB was released that particular month...
