Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo UK believes that Splatoon will be a system seller

 

Will Splatoon be a system seller?

Definitely! 73 53.68%
 
Not really... 63 46.32%
 
Total:136

Remember: The baseline for WiiU sales in UK is really, really, really low.

So if only 1,000 more WiiUs are sold in the entire UK the week of Splatoon launch, that's probably a significant % increase. That establishes a metric that can easily spun into saying that Splatoon is a 'system seller'.

And honestly, if MK8 and SSBU aren't selling the system, what else will?



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

i voted for not really, and im a huge nintendo fan . I really hope its a system seller, but i dont think its gonna be a big system seller



Hope it surprises everyone and pushes lots of WiiUs. But I'm sure it'll sell well at least among the console owners (1m+ for sure).



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Well, its UK, it cannot really sell even less...







... or can it?



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

It deserves to be and not for kiddie friendly audience but a more mature one cause it looks amazing.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Are people ever gonna stop with this? Wii U is doomed to sell worse than GCN, accept and move on already!


I dont think this article says anything close to GCN! Besides, System Seller =/= Selling Better than [insert consle] :)


Of course pretty much every game ever can be considered a system seller in the literal sense, hence most will assume you mean it'll sell a significant amount as there's no point giving a game that title otherwise.

Doomed? HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA really you think a console is doomed only cause it didn't sell good, i dont know what success means for you, cause wii u's line up is better than the current gen console have, you really dont know what true success means ;)


I said doomed to sell less than GC, no mention of game quality anywhere in my post.
