Yes lol. Mario games sell great. That's why I said better reviews ;)

Dang it... should've cut out your second sentence. I was referring to your first since that was you saying Mario isn't as big as he used to be. Wouldn't that translate into "doesn't sell as well."?

As big of a system seller as he used to be.

Look at the Wii U. It launched with Mario on day one yet it didn't save the system. The 3DS was saved by the price cut, not its Mario games. This article is hyping up "one Mario game" as enough to single handily resurrect Vita.

WiiU would be doing way worse without NSMB considering it has an attach rate of more than 50%. NSMB alone cannot carry the whole system, it needs a steady stream of games.

3DS really started to sell when 3DLand and Mario Kart released. Wouldn't have done that well had it just been the price cut.
