Look at the top sellers of all time for all platforms. You will find far more FPS games with larger sales than you reach a boxing game. You will not find that many boxing games in fact that sold well (compared to FPS). Boxing is a much smaller niche than FPS. Maybe it will be evergreen bridge game that keeps selling, but there have been far more FPS hits than boxing hits in the course of gaming history. I'm sorry, but I don't see what's so special about Punch Out to make it appeal to a larger audience than the Punch Out of the past. That said, it is Nintendo, and lots of Nintendo fans are excited about it, so it will likely sell several millions. The real question... will The Conduit be good enough of a game to sell well...? |
Punch-Out!! isn't really a boxing game, though. It's more of a boxing-themed puzzle game. Punch-Out!! is completely different from any other boxing-themed game in the world.
