it wasnt overpriced, by that logic no1 would have bought a xbone because its overpriced too. not to mention that when you buy a Microsoft game you already right at the start mssing download content for the same price.
Not to forget the microtransactions, you would expect in a free handy game and not in a real expensive game for a 500 Dollar console
The advertising really sucked at the beginning that was the true reason. I saw a spot on german tv, it said the new console with a game pad.
Yes its a play on fans who hated the wii controller, but i had no idea that they ment that. I was just like thinking, hell everyone console has a gamepad, thats the worst advertising ever. I think when i now think about it, Nintendo should never listen to people on the internet who say this and that is the reason they dont buy Nintendo. Its probably just false leads by the competition.
