Well, we don't quite know yet what kind of legs SMM will have, but I hope it will be good.  It's the kind of game that will benefit from it.

Like I said, what he said (14 out of 20 titles in the top 20 being on Nintendo hardware) was also true last week, yet that obviously wasn't "Nintendo domination". So my point was how many titles there are on either brand of hardware in the top 20 is completely irrelevant to the question of which company "dominates".

3DS is always above the Vita. This week is nothing special in that regard. I mean, if the 3DS were to be below the Vita, that would be downright awful performance of the 3DS. Heck, even outselling it by 2.5 times like it did this week isn't particularly good all things considered.

The Wii U outsold the PS4.....By 3k.....With it's second biggest game of the year.... and that is domination? Like I said, the bar sure is low.

If anything, it's 3DS domination. But it's 3DS domination (nearly) every week so that's nothing special really. The Wii U is hardly "dominating" with these numbers.

Just my five cents anyway

I said that in conjuction with over variables (which you ignored). 

The PS4 wins most NPD threads, yet each time we see "Sony domination" or "PS4 domination." Do you also criticize those people and say it's nothing special?

It's also not the Wii U's second biggest hardware mover this year. Software sales don't always correlate to hardware sales, especially when a franchise like Mario has already appeared on the Wii U a multitude of times at this point.

Let's be honest here, if the situation was reversed, you would absolutely say it's Sony domination. And yet here we are.

Wasn't the ps4 going to sell like crazy from now on? I guess not.

Nice boost for Wii U, disappointed but not surprised for SMM

Steep drop for PS4 and MGS V.

PS4 sales will most likely drop even lower now that a price cut has been announced for October as well.

No I wouldn't. I would absolutely not call it Sony domination if the PS4 outsold the Wii U by 3k in Japan. If I would've been that type I could've easily taken the chance to say something like that last week. You can check last weeks media create to see if I said something like that. (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=207854&page=1). (Spoilers: I didn't).

I don't see many "Sony domination" or whatever posts in the NPD threads anymore (and thank God for that, completely contentless posts). In fact since you brought it up right now, I just checked, August NPD thread had one post saying "Playstation domination", (which was amusingly enough said by someone who to my knowledge is a MS+Ninty fan), and it got called out by someone who afaik is a Sony fan. As you may understand, it's a bit harder to read through a 400 post thread, where the post in question was posted while I was asleep (NPD releases at 00:30AM here, so I'm not awake for the most of it), and I'm not really the "domination police", so I don't go reading through a thread to call out people that say "xxxxx domination".

I guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one if you mean that this week is Nintendo domination.

A decent debut for SMM, but I'm expecting to have some great legs just like Splatoon!

Yeah, it should enjoy continued high sales, both due to it being Mario, and because of the bundle. (And I know you weren't implying this, so this isn't directed at you or anything) but I'd be surprised if it could sell as much as Splatoon. It really has sold amazingly well.

Who said that? All I remember was people saying that sales for the week would increase like crazy... and it happened. If you check MGS4's first and second week on VGC, PS4 dropping like a rock is not a surprise.
