I'm a Zelda nut and am dissapointed with Breath of the Wild being further away, but plenty of people will be interested in a new 3D Mario at launch.

The thing is that this Mario may not move as many consoles AT LAUNCH as TP for Wii. The initial shortage of the console was mainly due to the rabid Zelda fans who bought to play TP on it. Sales have already prove it and even Reggie bragged about it back in 2006.

 

Mario is more like an evergreen title unlike Zelda which is frontloaded.

 

With Zelda on launch it was a lock that the forecast was outsold easily. Not with Mario.

You also should credit Wii Sports for selling consumers on the motion control concept. It was a brilliant move to package the game with the Wii.
