I don't think this is true at all. FL got a much bigger marketing push because it was the first real attempt into 3D, and it being 3D caused a lot of people who were only moderate Kirby fans, or maybe burnt out on the original style, to buy it to give it a try since it was something new and different. I'd wager there were a lot of people that tried it simply because it was 3D.

EDIT: Now, it almost certainly has better legs due to being a better game, but 3D definitely had an impact on the initial sales rush.
Yeah, you're probably right that being the first 3D Kirby was a big deal. 2D Mario generally sells better than 3D Mario, but having a big first splash is a big deal.
