Nope, that´s the WiiU.


Fixed

 

OP: Yupp, no series has fallen that dramatically from one iteration to another... if it keeps this up it could actually sell less then 1% of the previous entry at retail...

Considering most of it's sales came through digital, and it did quite well digitally, and that this complete set retail release is basically just a "if you want it" type of deal, then no. They originally made WSC as a digital promotion, where you could buy the sports you wanted, and didn't have to get all of them. I'd say insofar as what they originally wanted from it in that sense, that it's a success.



Hope so. But technically it's more of a remaster than a sequel.



Pretty much but i wasnt expecting this game to sell millions anyway however its still not as much of a bomb as Vita.



Who cares about Wii Sports Club? Just proof that Nintendo doesn't have to put every game in physical form. (NES Remix)

These two games are not comparable. The Sports Club game is available on eShop a long time, even with free playing time.



We can't know.

Wii Sports Club is a rare beast, with an experimental of acquiring the game. For one, it's not really a new game, rather a remaster of the original. It has a digital release for quite a while now and has many different options of purchasing, with day passes, buying single sports and what not. The retail release has been put to stores almost in secret, and the bundles aren't there yet. Because of how it's put out digitally, it's also unnecessary. I wouldn't be surprised if 99% of the revenue of this game came from the digital options.

Obviously, it's not anywhere near as successful as the original in any stretch of the imagination, but, like I said, we can't really know.

While it's certainly not selling well does that fact honestly surprise anyone?



yea, many of the casual boom franchises Nintendo had plummeted down to nothing when they came to the next console/handheld gen

Brain Age, Nintendogs (the least affected one), Wii Fit, Wii Sports
