Who is saying 3D Mario are statistically launch titles more often than not? That is absolutely false, it has only happened ONCE with the N64. Every other has been 7-12 months following launch.

64 - 64 at launch 

GCN - Sunshine 9 months post launch 

Wii - Galaxy 1 year post launch 

3DS - 3D Land 9 months post launch 

Wii U - 3D World 1 year post launch 

Switch - Odyssey 7 months post launch 

The reason for this is because Nintendo considers it paramount that the first headliner 3D Mario on a system be polished to perfection. The only reason we got 64 at launch is because they literally delayed the console for it to be polished enough since they knew how important it was to show off the jump into 3D gaming at launch. 

Ok. If you wanna talk about the next console there is a newly made forum for that.
I still think Nintendo plans on a 3D Mario since EPD8 has had since 2019, 5 years to work on a 3D Mario to innovate, develop and polish. 
They will want to show off how a 3D platform/open world should be, they know.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)

PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
