3D Mario was never a big system mover. This isn't surprising in the least. What is surprising is how low Wii U is selling in what is now the holiday season.

I wonder what HQ is talking about behind closed doors. This isn't working, Nintendo needs to fined a new direction.

Mario 64??

Really dude? Couple million over Gamecube, 15m units below SNES. Yeah Mario 64 sold systems.

When trying to see if a game is a system seller or not try imaging how well the console would have sold without it.

How well would N64 have sold without Mario 64? Obviously I dont know for sure but based off the fact that over 1/3 of N64 owners bought the game id say it was one of, if not the biggest system seller for N64.

I tend to imagine the system sales WiTH the game.

then what it barometer? who is the authority on what is a system seller, cause by that logic. N64 had NO system sellers. Neither did GC since it sold worst. Hell what does one consider a flop system or not?

Pretty much. Gamecube was a flop, N64 was a steep decline. Software is always responsible for a consoles installed base.
