Much love for the Mario man! He's still holding struggling consoles afloat after all these years.

People seem to confuse sales with cool. Since when has buying exactly what's been advertised to death towards your demographic been "cool"? When I hear someone blather about how the newest CoD is the best game ever made, a certain label comes to mind and it's not "cool".

It does rhyme with cool, though... Heh.

Seriously, though, what other 30 year old series can boast review scores as consistently solid as the Mario franchise? The others that come close are also mostly made by Nintendo.
