As I said to Dulfite, I'm not saying that Luigi's Mansion is a bad game or that it sells bad, it's just that it's one of those games that you buy because you already have the system, but you don't get the system just because of that game(s).

1-Any evidence of this? I'm pretty sure 3DS sales did go up upon it's release, but I'd have to go back and check. 2-Regardless, I think any game can help sell systems, maybe not by itself, but combined with many other games of different varietys it'll make the whole library that much more appealing..

1-Other than the lackluster launch of GameCube... no, no evidence. Dark Moon launched in March 2013, 20th, 24th and 28th, 3DS sales went up by 5% the week ending the 23rd, and a 28% the next one, only to fall 18% the following week. 

So ok, Luigi's Mansion had a short but noticeable effect on 3DS sales. If that's the kind of performance we want for a game to be a launch title, that's debatable (personally, I'm not satisfied).

2-You only get that many months after launch , and I already agreed on another response.
