Yes, 3D Land spiked 3DS sales higher, there is this special time of the year called the holidays where people buy gifts for one another, 3D Land released during this time of the year while NSMB2 released in the middle of summer, the time of year where video game sales are the lowest. here are the official sales from Nintendo NSMBU-5.19 million, 3D World-4.82 million NSMB2-10.25 million, 3D Land-10.73 million 2D total-15.44 million, 3D Total-15.55 million The series are identical, and this is what i said earlier, the 2 series are interchangeable, Wii U could have launched with 3D World and had NSMBU release the following year and there would be basically no difference. Same with the 3DS releases. Einsam_Delphin & I have never said that 2D Mario is bigger, we are just saying that 3D Mario is not this huge system seller comparitively that Miyamotoo was saying earlier in this thread. |
That makes a lot more sense as an argument although the post I responded was suggesting sales numbers to highlight one as bigger than the other although I agree with Miyamotoo with the view that 2D Mario is more a seller to the userbase than the a seller of a system. One reason I say this is if you look at the NSMB games released on systems that were already flying in the middle of their life like the DS and Wii it would hit near 30m, when Nintendo actually tried them as system sellers they would sell well but not really change the fortune of the platforms they're on, that was done more by other games.
