mario kart 3ds  has a install base of 70 million mario kart ds 155 million, but like i said its best to look at the latest entries, like GT and halo series are on a huge decline, 2d mario hasn't had 20 million selling game in over 10 years. in all new mario kart will not out sell mario kart 8, remember hardly anybody bought a wiiu.and i'm sure most that nought on wiiu double dipped, for the much better version on the go. 

*Sigh*,  even when you are shown facts, you still choose to ignore them, so even by using your criteria

This proves that even when significantly bundled, 3d Mario doesn't beat 2d Mario. Neither, for that matter does it beat Animal Crossing or Smash sales-wise. This is what we have been telling you for pages now. You can't just wiki "Nintendo best selling franchise" and go by the whole Franchise sales, as that would be in favour of any Mario or Zelda game due to volume of releases. Fact is, on a game for game basis, 2d Mario, Animal Crossing and Smash all outsell Mario. It's all here on this site, simple enough for you to be able to comprehend.

maybe you should try using nintendo official numbers mario 3d world is 5.7 million, and NSMW U 5.73.
