So, would your prediction be that Nintendo's download service for the 
Wii, which will be offering similar games, is not going to be popular?

Certain games, such as the Mario series, are classics, and gamers still 
love to play them, going all the way back to the earliest ones.

That particular game was the 4th best seller of all time for GameBoy.  
In fact, if you combined all major systems (GameCube, N64, SNES, NES, 
XBox, XBox360, PS, PS2, GB/GBC, GBA, DS, PSP), that particular game 
would still be in the top 10 of all time.  Even if you throw in PC 
games, it would still be top 10.
