Revisionist? Sold that much before it was bundled? Do you have access to that data? Mario Kart was heavily bundled too.

But since 2D Mario is where your preferrence lies, you'll dismiss anything that doesn't support your stance. -__-

Announcement of bundles in October 2010. First official bundles for both, NSMB and NSMB Wii:

VGC sales data

NSMB was released in mid-2006 (May and June), so direct your eyes a bit past the 150 weeks mark. NSMB Wii was released in November 2009, so look at the 50 weeks mark. Both games already past the 15m mark which is more than any 3D Mario game ever achieved; and it's not like the standalone versions stopped selling after bundles became available, especially because those red consoles were limited editions as far as I know. Mario Kart Wii was released in April 2008, so the first bundle happened after the 100 weeks mark.

Can't seem to access the weekly rundown of the sales data. Only the first 10 weeks. Will look into that later today when I get back home.
