The MAIN Mario franchise, by itself, is the highest selling video game franchise in history, for good reason.

The reason being mass bundling and over 200 games in the franchise?

The main franchise, aka 2D Mario and 3D Mario isn't anywhere near 200 games...

Regarding bundling...which mainline Mario game in the last 15 years was heavily bundled? Super Mario 64 wasn't. Super Mario Sunshine wasn't. New Super Mario Bros. DS wasn't. New Super Mario Bros. Wii wasn't (it had some bundles, but so did Halo and GT). Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 weren't. New Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn't. Super Mario 3D Land wasn't. New Super Mario Bros. U wasn't.
