What would have sold most? 3D World, Galaxy 3, or a Mario 64 successor?

So, going by the poll, over 90% of us agree 3D World wasn't the best choice commercially speaking.

I reckon it went both ways; the Wii's explosive success gave Galaxy a large userbase on feed off, but at the same time, Galaxy brought in a lot of "core" gamers to Wii by showing it could produce visually impressive and conceptually ambitious games, and that "look, Mario is epic and cool again, no more hosing graffiti off tropical resorts!"

There's no proof of that, I could easily just say Sunshine would of sold the same as Galaxy had it also had 5x the install base to work with. I definitely don't believe graphics or "ambition" are key factors when it comes to Mario considering how well NSMB has done and how 3D Land sold as much as Galaxy on half the install base.

Obviously Sunshine wouldn't, like 3D World it didn't deliver what core gamers wanted and the sales reflect that.
