I think you're wrong about some of those games not being for gamers. Brain Training is, despite what it seems on the surface, a genuinely fun game, as is Animal Crossing. And this is coming from someone who's been playing videogames since the early 90's.
It's somewhere between 1 million and 1.5 million at the moment. And probably about the same in Europe. I was speaking specifically of Japan though. If we bring the US into the equation then NSMB is soundly beaten by Super Mario 64's 5+ million sales.
Quote:(somewhat less so here though, I think? I mean they have been good, but not "rivalling Super Mario World" good for sure. Not even close... though that's not fair since SMW was a packin in the US.
