Mario 3D World would've outsold either Galaxy game on the original Wii.
Multiplayer + more classic styled Mario levels would've sold a gigaton on the Wii.
The Wii U is just a dud of a console, and Nintendo is reaping their results for an incredibly poorly thought out hardware strategy now by having a game like Mario 3D World suffer.
They've oversaturated the Mario brand recently too, way too many games.
The big thing that sucks is I can see the next 3D Mario being moved to the 3DS now instead of Wii U. Why sell 4-5 million copies of a Mario game when on the 3DS they could probably double that easily?

absolutely. 4 games (2 3d and 2 2d) for two systems, with one year apart the two of each console. that's totally oversaturating.
dude, EA, ACTIVISION and UBISOFT releasing AC, call of retrocess, skylanders and EA sports every year, THAT is oversaturating.
the only nintendo console since nes that had 2 marios of the same style was the wii, with galaxy and galaxy 2. end even then, they were 3 years apart.

These are staple third party publishers, delivering cross platform franchises, feel free to find a first party microsoft or sony game milked as hard as mario.

Uhh, pretty much every flagship game they have? How many Halos were on the 360, again?
Ratchet and Clank, Gears of War, Uncharted, Forza. We're talking 3 mainline (of the two different main lines) Mario games on Wii, and 2 so far on Wii U, with 2 on 3DS. Now, that does cram together, a fair bit, but its hardly unprecedented.
(I dare you to cite the spinoffs as Mario games).

Halo is oversaturated as a franchise too, IMO it's now on a decline that isn't going to stop any time soon.
Fact is NSMBU was Nintendo's "big" game last holiday. And NSMB2 was the "big" 3DS game. This year Mario 3D World is the big console game.
2011 was Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart ... for the last three holidays in a row, basically they've bet the farm mostly on Mario.
