New Super Mario Bros on the DS sold 30 million copies lol. Good luck finding me a franchise that can pull off those numbers on a single platform. Well, a non-Nintendo franchise. ;)
And I really doubt the average age of Wii U owners is 6-11.
You might as well ask why Dark Souls isn't outselling Uncharted.

Um, that was my point. New super mario outsells every other nintendo franchise by a lot. What is nsmb? It's a mario 1 remake. People bought it because they wanted to relive their past. I bought it on ds too. And I don't buy mario games.
And I'm pretty sure the numbers are accurate.
Asking why a REALLY new franchise isn't outselling a more established franchise?
That's the opposite of me asking why an established franchise isn't outselling a new franchise.
Like I said previously. Everyone knows mario and zelda. Why don't the numbers reflect that? They sell really well, but I could go out and ask anyone who mario is and they would tell me. Now you look at sales and mario does well, but not as well as exposure should dictate. Then a remake of the classic comes out, and it outsells every recent mario put together?

No, it's a new game. 2D Mario games always sold better than 3D Mario games. The only exception is Super Mario 3D Land.
|
Oh, this is a fact, except for this other time, and except for bundling, and except for super mario 2, and mario all-stars.

None of those games competed with 3D Mario games during the same generation lol. Super Mario 3D Land outsold New Super Mario Bros. 2. Both 3DS titles.
There hadn't been a 2D Mario game for a long time, that's the reason why the first two entries sold so much. The hype for 2D Mario games is dieing down considerably. The gap between New Super Mario Bros. Wii U and SM3DW is a lot smaller than the gap between SMG and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
And how can you claim the average age is 6 and at the same time claim people on Nintendo's consoles want to relive the past?
