But thats the whole point of it though, this was supposed to be the game that moved consoles. Its not really doing that, maybe Mario isnt the system seller we thought it was or used to be? I dont think its the price either at least thats just not the only factor. Im pretty sure that Mario World and 64 moved more consoles on their respective system than this, i could be wrong.

Mario World wasn't called upon to sell a $350 console though.

How much did SNES cost when it came out? cause if its around the same then the situation is no different. and you dint say anything about Mario 64 which i know was not cheap either.

The difference is that both Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 offered something new, different, revolutionary. Those were must have games, they were the first game people wanted to buy on the console.

NSMBU is nothing new, it doesn't amaze people enough to lure people into buying the system. They want it, but it is everyone's second game. That's the difference. WiiU still needs a 'first' game, 3D Mario has a good chance at being that. NSMBU (same goes for the 3DS game and probably the Wii game too, but that's impossible to check) is not a system seller, never was, but will end up in the mid-10 million in the end.

That's what I think of the situation at least .

yeah it is not a system seller... but a must have if you have the system
