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

MK8 will sell more than Double Dash because it is a more appealing game, DD's larger base won't give it the win because it's less desirable.

And it will most likely outsell it, DD sold 6.95m, MK8 was at 4.77m in January and is still going strong.

I was asking because whether it does or not doesn't prove whether Sunshine would sell better if it had more people to sell to.

What I'm saying is that while there is a relationship between software sales and install base, said relationship is not a fixed, linear one.

If Sunshine were a more desirable product, it wouldn't just have sold to more existing Gamecube owners, it would have motivated more non-Gamecube owners to buy the console for it.

Similarly, if Galaxy weren't the more desirable game, it would have sold less than Sunshine in spite of the bigger install base.
