I gues you didn´t look at Mario numbers. Mario 3D Land: +10 milions on one console, Super Mario Galaxy: 12 m in one console

And New super Mario on Wii was.... 28 milions, again, in one single console. Even with 9.5 milions of users 3D world sold +3 m and NSMBU around 5m.

Wii's number is only because of the casuals and the bundling. Look at the WiiU Mario numbers - they won't come close to Uncharted 4's or Halo 5's.

I think we surpassed the Uncharted franchise lifetime sales already. ;)

Uncharted is small fries compared to Mario. Also a safe bet that these 3 titles combined cost less to develop than Uncharted 4.
