lol what serious hardware? I'm hoping you're not serious with that statement! And again, with this logic, MK8 and SSB4 wont move hardware either. And don't give me that "but people's expectations" as we both know that's a load of bull! If you wanna make a convincing argument, you're gonna need more cold hard facts!

Serious hardware as in Mario 64 was one of the foremost killer apps for the console, the game people got an N64 to play.

You really think people expect as much ambition out of Smash and Kart as they do from a next gen 3D Mario? Did Smash and Kart's E3 reveals generate anywhere near the negative backlash 3D World's did? No, they didn't.

Because people expect Kart and Smash to iterate, while they expect more from 3D Mario.

So you're still just gonna go on without any real facts and base your entire argument on forum go-er's E3 impressions of SM3DW just so you have something to bark back with eh? lol alright then, I've got time to spare!

Mario 64 didn't actually move much hardware, so further proof that no one except maybe a small minority cares about "big leaps." It's simply ridiculous to think that people don't care about "big leaps" for Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Animal Crossing, Call of Duty, Halo, Uncharted, or pretty much every other series in existence, but then all of a sudden when we get to 3D Mario, people start to care for, what reason exactly? Too bad we even have proof that they don't care about "big leaps" for 3D Mario either as the 64 remake on DS and Galaxy 2 still sold well. Sorry bro, but most people just buy video games to have fun, and you don't need a "big leap" to make a fun video game!
