Why jump in to defend him only to make the same exact mistake? Proof or get out.

The proof is already there in the sales performance of the platform, it's you yourself who has to provide proof contrary to this, NSMBU has been there since launch as well which doesn't bode well for your stance as Wii U has had problems with sales since then. Games like Splatoon, MK8 and 3DW had an effect on sales while when the platform just had NSMBU the was no momentum.

What effect? The Wii U was tracking below Gamecube before and after all those games released, so infact, that only further proves my claim. They all didn't make a difference for the Wii U and sold around the same amount, thus roughly the same effect on system sales.

Except tracking below the GC and a game having an affect on sales aren't the same argument, games can affect sales of a platform even if it still tracks below another platform so no this doesn't prove your case at all, Splatoon's performance in Japan alone shoots down your claim they never had an affect on sales.

This isn't about Splatoon and the point is they (3D World to be specific) didn't have a significant effect on sales just like NSMBU despite selling in the multi-millions. 



I don't think a Mario Maker 2 is needed. The available version has everything possible, what could they add? But, a DK Maker would be very cool. And an F-Zero maker would be even cooler...

Slopes, snow levels, desert levels, a bunch of missing enemys, etc. Plenty of stuff still to take from the older games.



In terms of really big 2017 releases, I expect Nintendo have three up their sleeves for NX in 2017:

Zelda at launch
Animal Crossing in the summer
EAD Tokyo 3D Mario at the end of the year

Between and around these I'd expect to see a few smaller tier games, but the only one I'm confident of predicting is a new Pikmin title.

what you just said does not support the idea that 3D Mario is a bigger system seller than 2D Mario, basically what you said is that a combination of games is better than a single game.

I sugeest you read the posts again as I said each game individually had an affect on sales where as NSMBU never really showed any impact, if you're not going to read through the posts don't reply please.

Please show me data that supports the notion that 3D World had a greater affect than NSMBU.

Wii U sold better in the month and quarter that NSMBU launched that it did in the month and quarter that 3D World launched.

so NSMBU sold more software than 3D World and the hardware sold better in the month & quarter it launched.
