GTA sales are clearly not proportional to the game. it only sells as much because of marketing.

So now you're changing from "the market decides who is doing right" to "The market decides what they want to play", that's quite a difference.

People don't say cod is the same because of the number of games, they say it because of what the games are. they release every year with little to no change.

the difference between nsmb/other sequels and cod? nsmb and others tend to change level design and mechanics enough that make them completely different games than their predecessors. and it certainly makes it easier that they release once or twice in a generation.

Plenty games get marketed and dont do anywhere near GTA numbers. Just admit that its a game that people like and want to play which is why it is selling, to say is all marketing is lying to yourself. 

Whats the difference?

What mechanics were different in the NSMB games. One added MP another added the gold rush the last one added some things added some gamepad feature. You really gonna tell me that NSMB Wii U is completly different from NSMB Wii? Please. The only difference is they are not yearly which IMHO makes it even worse because there should be MORE changes. Hell AC did just as much if not more when it went annual. Brotherhood added a whole MP component. Revelations added tower defense and 1st person platforming, 3 added ship battles and different econony system. refined the brotherhood system. 4 expanded on the ship battles, Unity added MP co-op, etc.

gta fans are conditioned to buy it through marketing. it's just a franchise that got lucky.

nintendo games have the game and level design that make them trully different than their predecessors. even when there isn't that much difference between a game and it's predecessor, at least it's been a while since the previous game.
