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.

The Mario games did help the 3DS, though.

And NSMBU actually did well for the Wii U. It has quite a high attach ratio.
