The fastest game to 10 Million is Black Ops. Just saying.

2nd fastest was MW2.

:)

Oh, and Wii Sports was a far bigger system seller than NSMB. Mario Kart and Wii Fit probably were too.


You have no evidence for that, it was luck. If Nintendo would have bundled Mario Kart instead it could have been just as lucky.

Luck?

You serious?

Does that apply to Spielberg, Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Elvis, Shakespeare etc as well?

It doesn't suprise you that these people are consistently 'lucky' for some reason?

No I was talking more Kesha, Transformers and Katie Price Autobiography.


Jordan's autobiography?

Stop with the irrational rubbish Seece. I'm assuming Halo is excluded from the 'luck' excuse or are Bungie talentless luckfests too?

Halo isn't actually that big, but on that note, I don't actually rate Bungie since CE

So everyone is a talentless luckout then?

Has Wii Fit done on par with NSMB? I imagin most people who bought Wii Fit bought it for that alone, vast majority Nintendo fans probably had the console before NSMB came out

I'm not saying Nintendo are talentless 0_o, I'm saying that level of sales (in any media) isn't a talent it's just appealing to the mass audience.

As long as we are starting to talk about NSMB Wii in the same league as other games that have had a bigger effect on sales than a measly $50 price cut then I've made my point.

The 'luck' stuff was an irrational side debate that should probably be left outside.

Your point? You said NSMB was the biggest system seller ever. Your "point" there doesnt stand at all with no proof or "evidence" as you said to back it up.

I was including the DS version too. 2D Mario is the biggest system seller ever. Don't forget 2D Mario was available on the virtual console at launch.

NSMB Wii outsold Wii Sports in Japan, where Wii Sports wasn't bundled. Outsold Fit and Mario Kart too and completely trounces PS3's 'system sellers' combined (MGS, Resi, Gran whatsitsname).

That's enough cherrypicking for now, I think we all agree that a new 2D Mario on the home console after 20 years is huge and has more impact than a $50 price cut.

If you want to combine 2 games, then by all means go for it.
