They certainly and absolutely can be compared, as the characters involved are one of the main points of success for each of them.  None of those games would sell as many copies if they did not star Mario characters.  I think everyone can agree with that.

As for your second sentence, that doesn't even make sense.  Are there people who think that everything has to be a 1:1 comparison?  Probably, but I hope they eventually gain a little more knowledge before they graduate from school.  The goal of a comparison is to see what we can learn; if it's not a direct comparison across the board then there is no point in reaching an absolute conclusion.

Let me give you an example.

If I compare two NFL Quarterbacks who have been starters for 5+ years, I might have the goal of saying, "this one is better than that one."  On the other hand, if I'm comparing an NFL Quarterback to a college Quarterback, my goals will probably be completely different.  

We compare two things that share similar elements to see what we can learn, both about those elements which are similar and those which are different.

Agreed. Modnation Racers, PSASBR and LBP has not sell similar to NSMB, Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros.

And what did you learn from comparing a Zelda Musou game (first ever in the franchise) with Link's Corssbow Training (an on-rails shooter similar to RE Umbrella/Darkside Chronicles) and a real Zelda game?
