Mario & Luigi: Dream Team only sold about 100,000 units FW- Is this finally proof that gamer's are burned out on Mario?

A big percentage? dont be silly! it wouldnt be more than 30% lol I would say more in the region of 15% tbh...

1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, 50 percent, 80 percent, it doesn´t matter the exact number. The thing is that you can´t make a comparisson, because there is a percentage of games sold that are not included.

Its just cause you said big percentage thats all.... People have been doing this for years? ps3 and vita have had first day full retail digital games for years! and that hasnt stopped anyone from making these comparisons.

I would actually say that 30% is a pretty huge percentage. You're right, 15% is more likely, but we've seen 20% for some games already, and that's enough to make the difference between a disappointment and a handy profit. 

Digital also seems to still be growing. And I suspect its most dramatic effect is on the long tail, since the games are never out of print/stock and latecomers might choose buy the game digitally instead of used.
