3D Mario is a bigger game than a third Pokemon version.

 

Based on what? If we look at the most relevant comparison on 3DS, OR/AS remakes outsold 3D Land even after launching 3 years later (I think w/o bundles also) and with a prior installment already on the system (X/Y) with another announced a little over a year after OR/AS launched. Also worth noting is that this would be the first HD mainline Pokemon game playable on TV, that may or may not be a big deal. :L

There is precedent for launching with Zelda and not Mario.

 

The Switch launch is already breaking precedent so that doesn't really mean anything, plus Wii U launched with Mario, though not a 3D one.

Based on the fact that no game you mentioned is a third version and a third version is not going to move the same as a 3D Mario game on holidays.
