SM3DL isn't a 3D Mario like SM64.

Ladies and gentlemen, you heard it here first. Super Mario 3D Land is not a 3D Mario platformer "like" previous 3D Mario platformers. Its sales should not be compared to 3D Mario platformers, because 3D Land is not identical to... I mean, not "like" them. Its sales should instead be compared to sales of 2D Mario platformers, which it must be "like," because HikenNoAce says so.

Maybe you'd like to propose that Mario Kart 7 is not "like" Mario Kart DS, as well, and that instead we should compare its sales to -- oh, I know, Mario Kart Wii. Because reasons.

That's right, you don't think you have to compare Mario Kart 7 to a different Mario Kart, because the concept of a recently-released game that is still selling eludes you. You seem satisfied to declare disappointing sales of any Nintendo game that does not outsell its predecessor within its first few months on market, ignoring entirely the fact that the DS iterations of Mario Kart and Animal Crossing built up their impressive sales over 8 years.


Wow, talk about a meltdown...
