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

Because while Galaxy was more appealing to core gamers, MKWii was more appealing to the casuals, who were more numerous on the Wii.

That and marketing.  Need I remind you the only ad most people saw involving SM3DW was the embarrassing and laughable "Pitch" commercial with the awful child actors.  The Wii and its software, on the other hand, had a lot of promotion from launch through 2008.

Yeah, true that, though I would argue that advertising is part of a game's appeal, as it helps define its image.
