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.

Yes I already know that, but the initial sales, the ones on launch, was due to TP. Reggie said and considering the sales of the game, it was obvious.

 

Mario does not have the same power. People can wait to play a new Mario game, even if the past games have sold a trillion copies. People cannot wait to play Zelda and fans are willing to pay full price and buy new hardware.
