Nintendo Land, NSLU, WII party U and Pikmin 3 =/= NSMBU bro, look at lst gen sales and see how legs stay great throughout a console life cycle.

Also, yes at bold most certainly actually.Only way is if a new 2D mario comes out but i doubt that!

@Bold Doesn't matter ... Expecting me to believe that NSMBU will sell just as comparably to last holiday is like asking me to forfeit all logic.

I don't think so.. It might reach 6-6.5 million, but it won't outsell Galaxy 2.

I hope not. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is far superior.

Amen.

This is true, but I don't particularly care. I think we all know that 2D Mario outsells 3D Mario by now, like it or not. It's not like NSMBU is a bad game in any way.

EDIT: I said no on the poll though because of the deficit in Wii U's userbase. If the Wii U were to reach 30 million though for example (which I don't think it will but if it did) then it almost certainly will beat Galaxy 2. If it only reaches 20 million then Galaxy 2 will edge it I think.

That's kind of why I posed the question, I wanted to see how the 2D vs 3D Mario pattern would play when the latter had a larger install base on its side.
