I wouldn't call it gangbusters but whatever. MH (PSP) is what gangbusters means, and Pokemon ;o. Mario is just legs, and damn fit ones at that.

Neupe.  http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/game_comparison.php?reg=Japan&ending=Cumulative&game%5B%5D=Pok%26%2365533%3Bmon+Diamond+%2F+Pearl+Version+%28DS%29+%5B4022%5D&game%5B%5D=New+Super+Mario+Bros.+%28DS%29+%5B1582%5D&game%5B%5D=Monster+Hunter+Freedom+Unite+%28PSP%29+%5B18542%5D&game%5B%5D=

Of course I was not talking about MH 1 lol...let's try that again:

:D Okay, that works for me. I can also include NSMBWii in favor of the contrary, but still what you say isn't wrong.

Still, it's gangbusters for all of them. I'll admit that MH Por 3 and Pokemon DP are ultra phenomenal. So you're right in that context but otherwise it's still huge sales in regards to other series' sales.

Also, I had to say that I used Unite because I wanted to have the strongest argument (since I knew it was the best-selling one). Thanks for making sure we actually did use the better argument, I didn't realize the 3rd one was so fast-selling as compared to Unite.

I would use NSMB2 numbers if they were available, since that is what I am talking about and the line would be even lower.

Don't get cocky now ;)

My take is basically your first point but also because it does not look to improve very much on the original. A new mode, sure, but where is the innovation Mario is known for? Rol would say 2D Mario doesn't need innovation because it is perfect as it is, but then why don't we just play the old games? They are pretty timeless anyway (most of them).

Because many people don't have the older consoles.

What?

Anyways: DQ moves hardware - and a much of it. 3DS dropped as expected.

NSMB2 is now officially disappointing: NSMB made 910K first week. NSMB2 is not even close to that number after two weeks.

Like hell they do

Like hell they don't.

Or maybe they do... they just don't work.

The difference is similar to galaxy 1 and 2 isn't it?

So you're saying Nintendo makes consoles that don't last?

Nice way of interpreting that.

No, I'm not.

Why it wouldn't work:

1. People don't want old graphics anymore

2. A lot of people don't have them.

3. If they do they are broken/don't work.

No. It's trending even higher than SM3D Land. So that's a good sign, and it's not even the holidays. Plus we have digital sales, so keep your eyes open for any Nintendo news
