He does have a point about Mario though; making their big Wii U 3D Mario a 3DS sequel was a bit of a dumb move, a Mario 64 successor was what gamers wanted.

Would Mario 64-2 really have sold exceptionally better and moved a bunch of hardware? Ya it might have sold 3 million by now instead of 2.5 million and Wii U 8 million instead of 7.8 million. People on forums like to bitch about 3D World not being like other 3D Mario titles but in the long run I really doubt it matters.

I like 3D World, but let's face it, it's not what the mainstream gamer wanted from the first HD 3D Mario.

Based on what? Who are these fabled mainstream gamers u speak of? Like I asked in the last post, would a Mario 64-2 have sold exceptionally better and moved significantly more hardware?
