Forums - Sales Discussion - Why do people act like MK & SSB is all the Wii U has?

In every sales thread that mentions the Wii U, nearly everyone says "it depends on how well MK & Smash do" While they are both huge series from Nintendo they are clearly not all the Wii U will have this year.

Also, in every thread that pits the Wii U and XBO against each other, people bring up bundles and a price cut this Holiday as advantages for the XBO. How? Do people not expect bundles and /or a price cut from Nintendo?

This thread isn't trying to say the Wii U will start selling huge Wii-like #'s or anything but why do people act as if Nintendo will do nothing other than release them two games?

because they are the only games coming this year that have any chance of seriously moving some consoles. do you believe bayonetta will sell consoles? it wont, if it does it will barely do so. X? in japan maybe, in the west? barely. yarn yoshi? it wont.



They are the most important exclusives by far. If they don't help, nothing helps.

I'm more hyped for X and Bayonetta 2, but they will struggle to hit one million sales life time.



Because if those two games don't save the WiiU then the Wii U will be doomed forever!

Because everybody does not want to mention all the other amazing games that Nintendo is developing that will help wii u sell 115million consoles and beat x1 and ps4 by 40 million consoles.

Smash Bros. and Mario Kart are console movers and are both coming out in 2014. That's the main reason they're getting brought up.

MK8 and SSB are huge sellers. Bayonetta 2 is unproven, the same could be said for X as well. Zelda is probably the next big seller but I doubt even that will bring in casual gamers like MK8 and SSB would.

It's a very good question, and I couldn't tell you the answer. Because in my opinion, what should be considered in these sales threads is "it depends on how well these games are advertised and marketed." And I don't mean just MK and Smash. Or just software, either.



The issue with games like beyonatta is, even though her tits are pretty hawt, its not hawt enough for people to get a wiiU for it... However, Games like SSB has Zero Suit Samus who is arguably hotter and etc which will certainly move consoles! So thats basically why

All the games that aren't mk8 or ssb are basically buffering games in between releases.
