Mario Kart and Smash Bros. are consistant 5m sellers. People buy consoles for these games. Theyre system sellers.

Mario Kart on homeconsoles generally has an attach ratio of ~30%

When 30% of people who own your console buy a certain game, I think its a system seller.

Mario 2D platformers are consistent 5m sellers. People buy consoles for these games. They're system sellers

2D Mario on homeconsoles generally has an attach ratio of 20-30%.

Just sayin' . 

Are you trying to say that 2D Mario isnt a system seller, pezus?

Are you?

I think people have unrealistic expectations. ONE  game alone is never going to carry a $300+ console. Its the library. When you have a library full of system sellers (CoD, GTA, Mario Kart, 2D Mario, etc) thats when you start to see the gains.

One game release will push a console for a week or 2. One moderately big system seller will push a console for a Month. One 2D Mario will push a console for a full generation. It cant do it alone though, it needs help... NSMBU doesnt yet have that help.
