Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Animal Crossing, 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Pokémon are all 10+ million sellers, they still certainly have strong mainstream appeal, I can't think of a single other developer/publisher that has that many huge franchises.

No, they're not, except for Pokemon. Based on the numbers from the WiiU versions, they certainly aren't.

 

Why in a discussion about Nintendo being mainstream, would we leave out Nintendo's strongest market that consists of 80% of their hardware sales?
