But when did Nintendo say or even hint that they chose Mario over Pokemon because of revenue? According to the OP, the reasons were given and it was due to Pokémon not being as well-known comparatively worldwide. 

That may be what they say, and it may even be what they think (although imo Pokemon>Mario) doesn't mean it's the actual reason though.

But you're just basing all of that on your own opinion without any statistical data or facts. Do you have any thing substantial to support what you're accusing them of?
