Double standard with Super Mario 3D World and GT6...

When the hell was the last time a 3D mario game outsold a GT game?

Mario Galaxy regarding GT5.

Technically, there's only 200k between the two titles. Given that Galaxy had about a 150 week head start on GT5, I think GT5 still has a shot at beating it out. 

Yes but we are not talking about the future.

Trunkin's question implies that GT had always better sales than Mario 3D (so, if this new Mario manages to sell more than GT6, it will be a "winner") but that isn't true. Aside from the Game Cube / PS2 era, I think Mario 3D got always higher "skies" than GT games. I think Nintendo fans are getting nervous because of this GT6 vs Mario 3D World thread and they will take the eventually GT6's superiority in sales as a defeat. This may very well happen because WiiU is at risk of not getting a big userbase (end up like Game Cube or so) while PS3 has assured 80M potential clients for GT6 (good legs are almost guaranteed). In my opinion, there won't be a winner and a loser. The games are on different platforms and they will both sell well dispite their timid entry.
