2 games don't make a good profit.

In fact, after... what? '08? Their sales took a dive. So much so of late, that the president of Nintendo recently took a 50% cut in pay.

I like Nintendo, a lot, but the Wii just was not a success.

That's as of late. They still blew every current gen console out of the water in sales.

And are you seriously saying Mario's only been in 2 games?

They blew out the sales in consoles. Not in games.

And the mario galaxy games sold for shit. They were fun, don't get me wrong... they just didn't sale.

PS3 and Xbox in game sales kill Wii's sales.

Are you seriously saying Galaxy is the only game's on the Wii that mario's been in? Microsoft may have a few popular first party games, but they don't even have the top selling games on their system, just Halo and Fable (coincidentally just two games) That's Activion's job.

Oh and the Wii beating in console sales by more then 30 million, while the Xbox and the PS3 are closely tied.

Oh and you couldn't be more wrong about which system sold more games. It's only THIRD PARTY games that don't sell well on the Wii. Not even counting Wii Sports since it came with the console, Mario Kart Wii is still beating the highest selling games on both systems combined. And both galaxy games sold plenty.
