No Mario Games At Launch

First i dont remember any console by nintendo launching with a mario game and second if they released all the good games at once they wouldnt sell later.

Then I guess you don't remember the NES, SNES, and N64.
 
I think it was smarter to release Zelda over Mario. People have been talking about the "Realistic" Zelda game since the Game Cube was just a rumor. Zelda also has a better use of the Wii controller with the sward swing than Mario would so it would be a better game to hype the new style of game play. Plus if they released both at launch they would cut into each others sales. Smart move by Nintendo.
 
Nintendo decided not to have an Mario games out on launch because it's a marketing trick. People hear that there will be a few coming out in 2007 and immediately start to become interested in it and want to buy it. This will make more people crave the game for a longer wait, so more people buy it when it comes out. Either that, or they just decided not to have a Mario game out on launch for some reason.
